Chapter 6: STRESS 6.1 Introduction


• Introduction • Why do we introduce stress and strain?
• Average normal stress in an axially loaded bar – The intensity of internal forces acting within the body
• Average shear stress – Breakable
• Allowable stress (See textbook) – a deformable body
• Design of simple connections (See textbook) – Are used to compute deformations of a body

• To obtain distribution of force acting over a
sectioned area
• Assumptions of material:

Maximum average normal stress Bar width = 35 mm, thickness = 10 mm
• For problems where internal force P and x-sectional A
were constant along the longitudinal axis of the bar, Determine max. average normal stress in bar when
normal stress σ = P/A is also constant subjected to loading shown.
• If the bar is subjected to several external loads along its
axis, change in x-sectional area may occur. Thus, it is
important to find the maximum average normal stress
• To determine that, we need to find the location where
ratio P/A is a maximum
