Statics-Dynamics:

It deals with the external effect of force on rigid bodies.

Mechanics of Solid:

It deals with the relation between externally applied force and their internal effects on bodies.

It also discuss about the deformation of the body. But statics and dynamics do not discuss about the
deformation of the body.

Simple Stresses
Unit strength of materials. Simple stresses are expressed as the ratio of the applied force divided by the
resisting area or

σ = Force / Area.

Page 1 of 9
It is the expression of force per unit area to structural members that are subjected to external forces and/or
induced forces. Stress is the lead to accurately describe and predict the elastic deformation of a body.

Simple stress can be classified as normal stress, shear stress, and bearing stress.

Normal stress develops when a force is applied perpendicular to the cross-sectional area of the material. If
the force is going to pull the material, the stress is said to be tensile stress and compressive stress develops
when the material is being compressed by two opposing forces.

Shear stress is developed if the applied force is parallel to the resisting area. Example is the bolt that holds
the tension rod in its anchor. Another condition of shearing is when we twist a bar along its longitudinal axis.
This type of shearing is called torsion.

It is also known as tangential stress.

Problem 117 Find the smallest diameter bolt that can be used in the clevis shown in figure below if P = 400
kN. The shearing strength of the bolt is 300 MPa.
Here given, V = P = 400 kN

τ = 300 MPa

Now,

d = 0.02913 m = 29.13 mm

Problem 118 A 200-mm-diameter pulley is prevented from rotating relative to 60-mm-diameter shaft by a
70-mm-long key, as shown in the figure below. If a torque T = 2.2 kN·m is applied to the shaft, determine
the width b if the allowable shearing stress in the key is 60 MPa.

Here given, Torque T = 2.2 kN.m

Shearing stress = 60 MPa = 60 MN/m2 10mm

Let F be the shear force on the key due to torque. 70 mm
Therefore,

T – F × 0.03 = 0

Or, F = (2.2 ×1000) / 0.03 = 73330 N = 73.33 kN

b = 0.01746 m =17.46 mm

Or, By = - 22.94 - Cy ----------------(a)

Bx 0.25Cy – 0.2 × 40 cos 35 = 0

Or, Cx = 26.21 kN
By Cy
Therefore, By = - 22.94 – 26.21 = -49.15 kN

Now ,

Or, B = 59.08 kN

Therefore

Here given, Dia. of the rivet = 20 mm, Width of the plate = 110 mm

Bearing stress (plate) = 120 MPa, and Shearing stress (rivet) = 60 MPa

Problem 127 In the clevis shown in figure below, find the minimum bolt diameter and the minimum
thickness of each yoke that will support a load P = 14 kips without exceeding a shearing stress of 12 ksi and
a bearing stress of 20 ksi.

Thin Walled Pressure Vessels: If the cylinder as shown in figure is subjected to a uniform internal pressure,
stresses are developed. These stresses so developed arise normally in two directions in the wall of the
cylinder.

The stresses which act in the direction of the geometric axis of the cylinder are usually referred as axial or
longitudinal stress and those acting in a direction at right angle to the geometric axis of the cylinder as hoop,
tangential or circumferential stress.

σ r = hoop stress

σ θ =longitudinal stress

For thin wall cylinder the ratio of the wall thickness to the radius of curvature of shell should not exceed
0.10.

Question: Show that the tangential stress in a thin walled cylindrical shell of diameter, D and wall thickness,

Proof:

Assumptions: 1) The stresses are uniformly distributed over the thickness of the wall.

2) Stresses and deformation should be symmetric about the axis of the cylinder.

3) No discontinuity or irregularities in the structure.

Let us consider a cylindrical shell carrying a gas or fluid under a pressure of p N/m2.

Page 7 of 9
The bursting force acting over the end of the cylinder is resisted by the resultant P of the tearing force acting
over the transverse section.
The area of transverse section = circumference ×thickness

If there is an external pressure p o and an internal pressure p i , the formula may be expressed as:

It can be observed that the tangential stress is twice that of the longitudinal stress.

σt = 2 σl
