These objectives in- volve the concepts and skills that form the foundation ofall structural and machine design. The principles and methods used to meet the general objectives are drawn largely from prerequisite courses in mechanies, physies, and mathematics together with the ba- sic concepts ofthe theory of elasticity and the properties of| engineering materials. This book is designed to emphasize the required fundamental principles, with numerous appli- cations to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of procedure. Instead of deriving numerous formulas for all types of problems, we have stressed the use of free-body diagrams and the equations of equilibrium, together with the geometry of the deformed body, and the observed rela- tions between stress and strain, for the analysis of the force system acting on a body. ‘This book is designed for a first course in mechanics, ‘of deformable bodies. Because ofthe extensive subdivision into different topics, the book will provide flexibility in the choice of assignments to cover courses of different length and content. The developments of structural applications include the inelastic as well as the elastic range of stress; however, the material is organized so that the book will be ‘found satisfactory for elastic coverage only.

Available by accessing the companion site www.wiley.com/college/iley (student companion site) and using the registration code that accompanies new copies of the text. ORGANIZATION OF THE TEX’ Since most mechanics of materials problems begin with a statics problem (finding the forces in structural members or the forces in pins connecting structural members), we have included a review of statics in Chapter 1 of this book. ‘The coverage is perhaps more complete and comprehensive than would be necessary for review so thatthe book could be used for both statics and mechanics of materials if desired. After the review of statics in Chapter 1, Chapters 2 and 3 consist ofa thorough discussion of material stress and strain including principal stresses and principal strains. We choose to present principal stresses and principal strains at this early position to make it easier to talk about maximum stresses in the axial, torsional, and flexural applications that follow. Italso allows us to talk about the maximum stresses incombined loading situations in Chapters 5,6,and 7, rather than waiting until the end ofthe book. The ideas of principal values also allow for continuous reinforcement throughout the book of the state of stress and strain ata point. iv. PRERACE Material properties and the relationship between stress and strain are presented in Chapter 4, In Chapters 5, 6, and 7, we consider the stresses and strains in axial, torsional, and flexural loading applications. In addition to calculating the stresses in members subjected to axial load- ing and the siresses in pressure vessels subjected to inter- nal pressure, in Chapter 5 we also calculate the stresses in pressure vessels subjected to axial and pressure loading. In ‘Addition (o calculating the stresses in circular shafts sub- jected to torsional loading, in Chapter 6, we also calculate the stresses in circular shafts subjected to axial and torsional loads and in pressure vessels subjected to torsional loads. In Chapter 7, we frst calculate the normal and shear stresses in beams subjected to flexural loading. We conclude Chapter 7 with the calculation of stresses in beams and circular shafts subjected to a combination of axial, torsional, and flexural loads. InChapter 8, we calculate the deflection of beams due to various loading situations and also cover the calculation of support reactions for and stresses in statically indeter- rminate beams. In Chapter 9, we consider the tendency of columns to buckle. Finally, in Chapter 10 we discuss theo- ries of failure and the use of energy methods. Every chapter opens with a brief Introduction and ends with a Summary of important coneepts covered in the chapter followed by a set of Review Problems. All prin- ciples are illustrated by one or more Example Problems and several Homework Problems. The Homework Prob- Jems are graded in difficulty and are separated into groups of Introductory, Intermediate, and Challenging problems. Several sections of Homework Problems also have a set of Computer Problems. While the computation could be ac- complished by the student writing a FORTRAN program, the computation could just as easily be carried out using MathCAD, Mathematica, or a spreadsheet program. The important concept of the Computer problems is that they require students to analyze how the solution depends on some parameter of the problem. Most chapters conchide with a section on Design, which includes Example Problems and a set of Homework Problems. The emphasis in these problems is that there are ‘often more than just one criteria to be satisfied in a design specification, An acceptable design must satisfy all spec- ified criteria. In addition, standard lumber, pipes, beams, ete. come in specific sizes. The student must choose an ap- propriate structural member from these standard materials. Since each different choice of a beam or a piece of lumber has a different specific weight and affects the overall prob- lem differently, students are also introduced to the idea that design is an iterative process FREE-BODY DIAGRAMS ‘We strongly feel that a proper free-body diagram is just as important in mechanics of materials as itis in statics. It is, ‘our approach that, whenever an equation of equilibrium is ‘written, it must be accompanied by a complete, proper free body diagram. Furthermore, since the primary purpose of a free-body diagram is to show the forees acting on a body, the free-body diagram should not be used for any other purpose. We encourage students to draw separate diagrams to show deformation and compatibility relationships, PROBLEMS-SOLVING PROCEDURES Students are urged to develop the ability to reduce problems toa series of simpler component problems that can be easily analyzed and combined to give the solution of the initial problem. Along with an effective methodology for problem decomposition and solution, the ability to present results in a clear, logical, and neat manner is emphasized throughout the text. HOMEWORK PROBLEMS ‘The illustrative examples and problems have been selected ‘with special attention devoted to problems that require an ‘understanding of the principles of mechanics of materials without demanding excessive time for computational work. A large number of homework problems are included so that problem assignments may be varied from term to term. ‘The problems in each set represent a considerable range of difficulty and are grouped according to this range of di ficulty. Mastery, in general, is not achieved by solving a large number of simple but similar problems. While the so- lution of simple problems is necessary to build a student’ problem-solving skills and confidence, we believe thatastu~ dent gains mastery ofa subject through application of basic theory to the solution of problems that appear somewhat difficult, SIGNIFICANT FIGURES Results should always be reported as accurately as possible. However, results should not be reported to 10 significant fig ures merely because the calculator displays that many digits. (One of the tasks in all engineering work is to determine the accuracy of the given data and the expected accuracy of the final answer, Results should always reflect the accuracy of the given data In a textbook, however, it is not possible for stu- dents to examine or question the accuracy of the given data, It is also impractical, in an introductory course, to give error bounds on every number. Therefore, sinee an accuracy greater than about 0.2% is seldom possible for practical engineering problems, all given data in Exam- ple Problems and Homework Problems, regardless of the ‘number of figures shown, will be assumed sufficiently ac- ccurate to justify rounding off the final answer to approx- imately this degree of accuracy (three to four significant figures). ‘SI VERSUS USCS UNITS US. customary units and SI units are used in approximately equal proportions in the text forboth Example Problems and Homework Problems. To help the instructor who wants to assign problems of one type or the other, odd-numbered Homework Problems are in USS. customary units and even- numbered Homework Problems are in SI units ANSWERS PROVIDED Answers to about half of the Homework Problems are provided on the student companion site: www.wiley.com/ college/Riley. Since the convenient designation of problems, for which answersare provided isof great value to those who ‘make up assignment sheets, the problems for which answers are provided are indicated by means of an asterisk (*) after the problem number. In addition to a fully worked solutions manual, all fig ures from the text are available in electronic format for instructors who adopt this book for use in their classes.

Ever since the time of Galileo Galilei (1564~ 1642), scientists and engineers have studied the problem of the load-carrying capacity of structural members and machine components, and have developed ‘mathematical and experimental methods of analysis for determining the internal forces and the deformations induced by the applied loads. The experiences and observations of these scientists and engineers of the last three centuries are the heritage of the engineer of today. The fundamental knowledge gained over the last three centuries, together with the theories and analysis techniques developed, permit the modern engineer to design, with complete competence and assurance, structures and machines of unprecedented size and complexity, The subject matter of this book forms the basis for the solution of three general types of problems: 1. Given a certain function to perform (transporting traffic over a river by means of a bridge, conveying scientific instruments to Mars in a space vehicle, con- Yerting water power into electric power) of what materials should the machine or structure be constructed, and what should be the sizes and proportions of the various elements? This is the designer’ task, and obviously there is no single solution to any given problem, 2. Given the completed design, i itadequate? That is, does itperform the funtion economically and without excessive deformation? This istxe checker’s problem, 3. Given a completed structure or machine, what i its actual load-carrying capac- ity? The structure may have been designed for some purpose other than the one for which it is now to be used. Is it adequate for the proposed use? For example, ‘building may have been designed as an office building but i later found to be desirable for use as a warehouse. In such a case, what maximum loading may the floor safely support? This is the rating problem. Because the complete scope of these problems is obviously too comprehensive for mastery in a single course, this book is restricted to 2 study of individual members and very simple structures or machines. The design courses that follow ill consider the entre structure or machine, and will providcessential background forthe complete analysis of the three problems 2. caseruk 1 INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW oF stATiCs by oe denon ‘The principles and methods used to meet the objective stated atthe beginning of this chapter depenc to a great extent on prerequisite courses in mathematics and mechanics, supplemented by additional concepts from the theory of clastcity ‘and the properties of engineering materials. The equations of equilibrium from slatics are used extensively, with one major change in the free-body diagrams; namely, most free bodies are isolated by cutting through a member instead of simply removing a pin or some other connection. The internal force on the cut section is related to the stresses (force per unit area) generated by the cohesive forces holding the menber together. The size and shape of the member must be adjusted to keep the stress below the limiting value for the type of material from which the member is constructed. In some instances, the specified maximum deformation, not the specified ‘maximum stress, will govern the maximum load that a: member may carry, In other instances, it may be found that the equations of equilibrium (or motion) are not sufficient to determine all of the unknown loads or reactions acting on a body. In such cases itis necessary to consider the geometry (the change in size or shape) of the body after the loads are applied. The deformation per unit length in any irection or dimension is called sirain ‘Some knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of materials is required in order to create a design, to properly evaluate a given design, or even to write the correct relaton between an applied load and the resulting deformation of a loaded member. Essential information will be introduced as required, and ‘more complete information can be obtained from textbooks and handbooks on properties of materials 1-2 CLASSIFICATION OF FORCES: Force is one of the most important of the basic concepts in the study of mechanics cof materials (or the mechanics of deformable bodies). Force is the action of one body on another; forees always exist in equal magnitude, opposite direction pairs, Forces may result from direct physical contact between two bodies ot from two bodies that are notin direct contact. For example, consider a person standing on a sidewalk, The person exerts a force on te sidewalk through direct physical contact, between the soles of his or her shoes and the sidewalk; the sidewalk in turn exerts ‘an equal magnitude, apposite direction force on the soles of the person's shoes. If the person were to jump, the contact force would vanish but there would still be a gravitational attraction (force between two bodies not in direct contact) between the person and the earth. The gravitational attraction force exerted on the person by thc earth is called the weight ofthe person; an equal magnitude, opposite direction, attraction force is exerted on the earth by the person. Another type of force that exists without direct rhysical contact is an electromagnetic force. Contact forves are called surface forces, since they exist at surfaces of contact between two todies. Ifthe area of contact is small compared to the size of the body, the force is called a concentrated force; this type of force is assumed to act at a point. For exemple, the force applied by a car wheel to the pavement on 1 bridge (see Fig. I-1) is often modeled as a concentrated force. Also, a contact force may be distributed over a narrow region in a uniform or nonuniform manner. ‘This situation would exist where floor decking contacts a floor joist, as shown in Fig. 1-2a, Here, the floor decking exerts a uniformly distributed load (force) on the joist, as shown in Fig. 1-26. The intensity of the distributed load is w and has dimensions of force por unt length. ee seit sin 4, ) o @ Figure 2 Other common types of forces are external, internal, applied, and reaction, ‘To illustrate, consider the beam loaded and supported, as siown in Fig. 1-3a. A free-body diagram of the beam is shown in Fig. I-35. All forces acting on the free- body diagram are external forces; that is, they represent the interaction between the beam (the object shown in the free-body diagram) and the external world (everything else that has been discarded). Force F is a concentrated force, whereas 1» is a uniformly distributed load with dimensions of forcellength. The forces F and w are called applied forces or loads. They are the forces that the beam is designed to carry. Forces 4,, 4,, and B are necessary to prevent movement of the ‘beam. Such supporting forces are called reactions. Force distributions at supports ‘are complicated, and reactions are usually modeled as concentrated forces. ‘Once again, all the forces shown in Figure 1-3 are external forces. At every seetion along the beam, there also exists a system of equal magnitude, opposite direction pairs of internal forces between the atoms on cither side of the section. ‘The study of mechanics of materials or mechanics of deformasle bodies dependson the calculation of these internal forces at various sections of «structure or machine ‘element and how these forces are distributed over the sections. The determination of internal forces is discussed in Section 1-5. In our previous discussion of loads (forces), we saw that the loads might be ‘concentrated forces or distributed forces. Furthermore, we assumed that the forces id not vary with time, that is, they were staric loads. In many situations, loads ‘may be a function of time, For example, a sustained load is a load that is constant over a long period of time, such as the weight of a structure (called dead load). ‘This type of load is treated in the same manner as a static loed; however, for some ‘materials and conditions of temperature and stress, the resistance to failure may F Figure 1-3, 1-2 CLASSIFICATION OF FORCES 3 4 ‘HAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF STATICS be different under short-time loading and sustained loading. An impact load is a rapidly applied load which transfers a large amount of energy in a short period of time, Vibration normally results from an impact load, and equilibrium is not ‘established until the vibration is efiminated, usually by natural damping forces. A repeated load is a Toad that is applied and removed many thousands of times. ‘The helical springs that close the valves on an automobile engine are subjected to repeated loading, 1-3 EQUILIBRIUM OF A RIGID BODY ‘A rigid body (a body that does not deform under the action of applied loads) is in equilibrium when the resultant of the system of forces acting on the body is zero. sondition is satistied if EF=0 ay BMo =0 (1-2) Equation 1-1 states thatthe vector sum of all external forces acting on the body is zero, whereas Eq. 1-2 states thatthe vector sum of the moments of the external forces about any point O (on or off the body) is zero. Equations 1-1 and 1-2 are the necessary and the sufficient conditions for equilibrium of a rigid body. The two vector equations of ecuilibrium may be written as six scalar equations. Selecting a right-handed, xy2-rectangular coordinate system, the equations of equilibrium may be writen ER=0 ER=0 ER=0 3) =M=0 EM,=0 EM, (4) Equation 1-3 states thatthe sum ofall external forees acting on the body in the x-, J», and z-directions is zero. Equation 1-4 states that the sum of the moments ofall Of the external forces acting on a body about the x-, y-, and z-axes is zero. Many problems encountered in mechanics of materials are two-dimensional in nature. Selecting the x- and y-axes in the plane of the forces and the z-axis perpendicular to the plane, the equations of equilibrium reduce to ER=0 IF, 0 (sy y =M, ‘These equations of equilibrium would be applicable for the force system shown in Fig. 1-32, which is coplanar and noncurrent, Ifthe force system acting on the body is coplanar and concurrent, as in the light suspended from the ceiling by two wires shown in Fig. 1-4, Eqs. 1-3 and 1-4 reduce to BR =0 Bh =0 a6 ther types of force systems exist forproblems encountered inthe study of mechan- ics of materials. Students should not try to memorize the equations of equilibrium that apply for each ofthe various force systems. Rather, Eqs. 1-3 and 1-4 should be reduced to equations appropriate for the particular problem at hand. This witl be illustrated in the example problems presented at the end of this section, 7 igure 1-4 Note from previous discussions thatthe equations of equilibrium are applied to. system of forces. The system of forces may act on a single body or ona system of connected bodies. A free-body diagram is a carefully prepared drawing that shows a “body of interest” separated from all other interacting bodies and that shows all external forces, both known and unknown, tha are applied to the body. ‘The word “free” in the name “free-body diagram” emphas.zes the idea that all bodies exerting forces on the body of interest are removed cr withdrawn and are replaced by the forces that they exert. At each position on the free-body diagram ‘where other bodies have been removed, the equal magnitude, opposite direction pairs of forces have been broken, and the forces which act on te free-body diagram ‘must be shown. These forces may be either surface forces or body forces, or both. ‘An important body force is the gravitational attraction of the earth, that is, the ‘weight of the body. ‘The following examples illustrate the use of free-body diagrams together with the equations of equilibrium to determine unknown forces acting on rigid bodies. The importance of drawing a correct free-body diagram cannot be overem- phasized. The free-body diagram clearly establishes which body or portion of the body is being studied. A correct free-body diagram clearly identifies all forces (both known and unknown) that must be included in the equations of equilibrium. ‘The methods commonly used to find the unknown forces which act on rigid bodies ‘must be thoroughly mastered, since these methods, as well as an extension of these methods to deformable bodies, are used throughout this book. Example Problem 1-1 Therigid structure shovnin Fig. 1-Saissub- jected to a5000-Ib force P. The connections a joints A, B, and C are frictionless pins. Determine the forces at A and B on member AB. SOLUTION We first draw a free-body diagram of member AB, as shown 1n Fig, 1-5b. Member ABs “freed” from interacting bodies: the bracket and pin at A and member BC. At the places where AB is separated from interacting bodies, we show external forces acting on 4B. Since member BC is a straight two-forze member, the force T must lie along the member. The force at pin 4 has an unkaown magnitude and direction. We show this force as two components, A, and 4,, where the directions hhave been assumed. The weight of member AB is assumed to be small compared to the applied force P and is not shown on the free-body diagram. The free-body diagram contains three unknowns, 4,, 4,, and 7.

Why were the forees writen ‘with the number of significant figures shown in Eq, (c)? For example, consider the solution of Eq, (d) wn “Although results should always be reported as accurately as possible, the numbers to the tight ofthe decimal point in Eq. (f) have meaning only if the original data (dimensions and applied load) are known to the same relative accuracy as the solution forthe force 7. One ofthe tasks in all engineering work isto determine the accuracy of the given data and the expected accuracy of the final answer. Results should always reflect the accuracy of the given dat. Itis not possible, however, for students to examine or question the accuracy of the given data in a textbook. It is also impractical in an introductory course to give error bounds on every number. Therefore, since an accuracy greater than about 0.2 percent is seldom possible for practical engineering problems, all given data in Example Problems and Homework Problems, regardless of the number of figures shown, will be assumed sufficiently accurate to justify rounding off the final answer to approximately this degree of accuracy (three to four significant figures). One commonly used rounding scheme uses the leading digitto determine how many significant figures to keep inthe final answer. Ihe first nonzero digit of the result is a 1, then the answer is reported with four significant figures, otherwise the answer is reported with three significant figures (Of course, all intermediate steps in the solution must maintain more sig- nificant figures than are used to represent the final results so as to reduce the effect of roundoff errors on the final results. Using the value of T from Eq. (f) in Eq. (c) would yield 4, =0 instead of the value shown in Ea, (¢). The point of this discussion is: Don't report final results with more accuracy than is justified by the data and don't round off numbers too much too soon. For this example problem, then, the answer is 5000 tb, Ans. A feama eee Example Problem 1-2 A 900-kg mass is supported by a roller that ao ‘can move along a beam, as shown in Fig. 1-6a.

The equations of equilibrium (a), (©), and (6) are necessary for equilibrium, but they are not sufficient to solve the problem. The additional equation comes from the relationship between the force in the wire and the deformation of the wire, Such a relationship will be developed in Chapte: 4; we merely state the result here to complete this example.

It is, this interdependence that makes the solution of deformable body problems more ‘complex than the sokution of rigid-body problems. 1-5 INTERNAL FORCES Inthe study of mecharics of materials, itis necessary that we examine the internal forces that exist throughout the interior ofa body. We consider an arbitrary body in 5 ‘equilibrium, as shown in Fig. 1-17a. The forces F, F2, Fs, Fs, and Fs are applied Joads and support reactions (found using the equations of equilibrium). We pass A an imaginary “cutting plane” a-a (henceforth called a section) through the body, part A (Fig. 1-176) we note that, in addition to the applied forces F, and F2, the ‘material of part B exerts forces on the material of part A over the section. These wit forces ar internal he body a a whole tae external for pat A. The frees on the section are distributed over the surface in an unknown fashion. However, F @ ‘we can replace the distributed force system by a resultant force R and a resultant oy couple C. In general, the couple C depends on where we place the force R. In a mechanics of materials we place R at the centroid C of the section, as shown in : Fig. I-17c. We use a éouble arrowhead to distinguish the couple C (vector) from \ es teary rag enimeae dea ee Ae ( R statically equivalent tothe force system R and C of Fig. -17e. The force system R \ and C will be referredto as an internal force system. We recognize that the internal Z force system depends on the orientation of the section. 2 Instead of part 4, we could have considered part B, as shown in Fig. 1-17. fs By applying Newton’ third law to every pair of particles on the section for parts @ A and B of the body, we have thatthe distributed force systems over the section of fe parts d and B are equel in magnitude but opposite in sense, and thus the resultant, e force R and the resutant couple C on the two parts of the body are equal in ‘magnitude but opposie in sense. Because the body as a whole is in equilibrium, any portion of the body is also in equilibrium. Thus, using the equations of equilibrium and the force system showin in Fig. 1-17, @ a EF=00 Fi +h +R Figure 1-17 EMc=t | M; +M:+C=0 where My and My are the moments of forces F and Fa, respectively, about the ‘centroid ofthe section, We would find the same result using the free-body diagram of part B shown in Fig. 1-17d. Thus, we find the resultant of the internal force aystem using the equations of equilibrium. However, we cannot find the exact distribution ofthe internal forces until we learn how to deternine the deformation of the body. Experience indicates that materials behave differently to forces trying to pull atoms apart than to forces trying to slide atoms past each other. Therefore, it is standard practice to resolve the resultants R and C into components along and perpendicular to the section, as shown in Fig. 1-18, For convenience we select an :92-coordinate system in which x is perpendicular to the section and y and = lie in the section, The component of R which is perpendicular to the section, Ry, is called 2 normal force; this force tends either to pull the bod apart orto compress the body (Fig. 1-18a). The symbol Ps often used to denote the normal foree. The components of R that lie inthe section are called shear forces; these forces tend to slide part of the body relative to part. The symbol V is often used to denote shear forces; hence, the forces J and ¥, in Fig. 1-180 ‘The component T'of couple C shown in Fig. 1-186 tends to twist the body and is called a twisting couple (or twisting moment, or torque). The components ‘M, and M, tend to bend the body and are called bending couples (or bending moments). Throughout this book we will examine the effects on a deformable ‘body of the components of R and C. ‘The section shown in Figs. 1-18a and b is called a postive section sinee the ‘outward normal to the section points in a postive coordinate direction. The section shown in Figs. 1-18¢ and dis called a negative section since the outward normal to the seetion points in a negative coordinate direction. A resultant force or couple component is defined as postive ifthe component is ina positive coordinate direction when acting on a positive section. Thus, all of the force and couple components shown in Figs. 1-18a and b are positive. Ifthe internal forces exerted on part 4 of the body by part B are called positive, then the ‘other half ofthe internal forces (exerted on part B of the bedy by part A) should also be called positive. Therefore, a force or couple component will also be defined as positive if the component is in the negative coordinate cirection when acting ‘on a negative section. Hence, all ofthe force and moment components shown in Figs. I-18e and d are also positive. The components ofthe internal force system canbe found using the equations of equilibrium (Eqs. 1-3 and 1-4). ce) (4) ‘The equations of equilibrium should be applied to the body (or portion of the body) in its deformed state. However, as we saw in Exaruple Problem 1-8, the support reactions (or, inthis ease internal forces) cannot be found until we know the relationship between the forces applied to the body and the deformation of the body. As we shall see in later chapters of this book, we can determine support reactions and internal forces using the undeformed configuration of a body. We accept this statement for now and illustrate the determination of internal forces ‘with the following examples, 1-5.

Coordinate xis perpendicular to the section, whereas coordinates y and z lie in the section.

Using these equations, an engineer can determine the forces exerted ot a structure by its supports, the forces on bolts and rivets that connect parts of a machine, or the internal forces in cables or rods that either support the structure or are a part ofthe structure. A second and equally important step is determining the internal effect of the forces on the structure or machine. It is important, therefore, that all engineers understand the behavior of materials under the action of ferces Safety and ecoromy ina design are two considerations for which an engineer must accept responsiblity. He or she must be able to calculate the intensity of the internal forces to witch each part of a machine or structure is subjected and the deformation that each part experiences during the performance of its intended function. Then, by knowing the properties of the material from which the parts will be made, the engineer establishes the most effective size and shape of the individual parts and the appropriate means of connecting them. In every subject area there are certain fundamental concepts of paramount importance to a satisfactory comprehension of the subject matter. For the subject ‘mechanics of materials, a thorough mastery of the physical significance of stress and strain is paramount. The discussion of stress will be undertaken frst; the study of strain will be taken up in Chapter 3. 2-2 NORMAL STRESS UNDER AXIAL LOADING In the simplest qualitative terms, stress is the intensity of force. A body must be able to withstand the intensity of an internal force; if not, the body may rupture or deform excessively. Force intensity (stress) is force divided by the area over which a? the force is distributed. Thus, Force Se ness = “Area @) The forces shown in Fig. 2-1 are collinear with the centroidal axis of the eyebar P and produce a tensile loading of the bar. These forees are called axial forces. igure 2-1 When the eyebar is cut by a transverse plane, such as plane a-a of Fig. 2-1, a 48 2-3 SHEARING smiess rv connecTios 49. {ee-body diagram ofthe bottom half ofthe bar can be drawn as shown in Fig. 2-2. Fr Equilibrium of this portion of the bar is obtained with a distribution of internal force that develops on the exposed cross section. This distribution of internal force tus a resultant F that is normal to the exposed surface, is equal in magnitude to P, and has a line of action that is collinear with the line of action of P. An average oo {intensity of internal force, which is also known as the average normal stress og ion the cross section, can be computed as F om = 5 (22) where F is the magnitude of the internal force F and 4 is the cross-sectional area of the eyebar. P ‘The Greek letter sigma (7) is used to denote a normal stress in this Book. Figure 2-2 [A positive sign is used to indicate a tensile normal stress (member in tension), and a negative sign is used to indicate a compressive normel stress (member in compression). Ths sign convention is independent of the seletion of a coordinate system. Consider now a small area A on the exposed cross section ofthe bar and ar let AF represent the magnitude of the resultant of the internal forces transmitted by this small area, as shown in Fig. 2-3, The average intensity of internal force being transmitted by area A is obtained by dividing AF by Ad. Ifthe internal forces transmitted across the section are assumed to be continuously distributed, the area A can be made smaller and smaller and will approach a point on the exposed surface in the limit. The corresponding force AF ako becomes smaller and smaller The sttess atthe point on the cross section to which A converges is defined as ar a aBaa ey tn genera, the sess & ata given pont on a transvese cross section of an axially loaded bar will not be the same as the average stress computed by dividing the force F by the cross-scctional area A. For long, slender, axially loaded members such as those found in trues and similar structures, however, i is generally assumed tht the normal stresses are uniformly dsibuted except inthe ‘icnity ofthe poins of aplication of the leads, The subject f nonuniform sues distributions under axial loading wil be ciscussed ina ater chaper of his book Figure 2-3 2.3. SHEARING STRESS IN CONNECTIONS Loads applied to a structure or machine are generally transmitted to the individual members through connections which use rivets, bolts, pins, nails, or welds. Inall of these connections, one of the most significant stresses induced is a shearing stress. ‘The bolted and pinned connection shown in Fig. 2-4 willbe used to introduce the concept ofa shearing stress. ‘The method by which loads are transferred from one member of the con- nection to another is by means ofa distribution of (internal) shearing foree on a transverse cross section of the bolt or pin used to effect the connection. A fiee-body diagram of the left member of the connection of Fig. 2-4 is shown in 50 CHAPTER 2 ANALYSIS OF STRESS: CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS : © Figure 2-5 24 ee a (i al aval Figure 246 22 23 igure 2-4 Fig, 2-5. In this diagram, a transverse cut has been made through the bolt, and the lower portion ofthe boltremains in contact with the let member, The distribution of shearing force on the transverse cross section of the bolt has been replaced by a resultant shear force Y. Since only one cross section of the bolt is used to effect Joad transfer between the members, the bots said to be in single shear; therefore, equilibrium requires that the resultant shear force V equal the applied load P. A. free-body diagram fo the threaded eyebar atthe right end of the connection of Fig. 2-4 is shown in Fig. 2-6, In this diagram, two transverse cuts have been made through the bolt, and the middle portion ofthe bolt remains in contact with the ceyebar. In this case, two transverse cross sections of the pin are used to effect load transfer between members of the connection and the pin is said to be in double shear. AS a result, equilibrium requires that the resultant shear force 7” on each ‘ross section ofthe pin equals one-half of the applied load P. From the defirtion of stress given by Eq. 2-1, an average shearing stress ‘on the transverse cross section of the bolt or pin can be computed as r ee) t= ) where Vis the magnitude ofthe shear force V and A isthe cross-sectional area of the bolt or pin, “The Greck letter tau (+) is used to denote shearing stress in this book. A sign convention for shearing stress is presented ina later section of the book. “The stress ata Foint on the transverse cross section of the bolt or pin can be obtained by using the same type of limit process that was used to obtain Eq. 2-3 for the normal stress a a point. Thus, tim 2” asvBA @5) Unlike the normal stress in long, slender members, it can be shown that the shear stress 7 caanot be uniformly distributed over the area. Therefore, the actual shear stress at eny particular point and the maximum shear stress on a cross section will generally be different from the average shear stress calculated using Eq. 2-4. However, the design of simple connections is usually based on average stress considerations and this procedure is followed in this book. Another type of shear loading is termed punching shear. Examples of this type of loading include the action of a punch in forming rivet holes in a metal plate, the tendency of building columns to punch through footings, and the tendency of 2 tens Und the oft exte 2-4 Boar nor from thes the y inter of th wer Bear pins dive ote
