Learning Outcomes

After completion of this topic,

students will be able to;

 Explain different types of stresses and

strains
 Identify stresses acting on various
machine members

Introduction and Review of Force

 In engineering practice, the machine

parts are subjected to various forces
which may be due to either one or more
of the following:

 Energy transmitted,
 Weight of machine,
 Frictional resistances,
 Inertia of reciprocating parts,
 Change of temperature,
 Un-balance of moving parts.

 It is an important factor in the field of
Engineering science, which may be
defined as an agent, which produces
or tends to produce, destroy or tends
to destroy motion.

4
Concept of Stress
 Intensity of the internal resistant
against externally applied load,
measured by force per unit area

5
Some basic issues of simple stresses
and strains
 Tensile stress and Strain

li  l0 l
 
l0 l0

6
 Compressive stress and Strain

li  l0 l
 
l0 l0

Since lo > li , negative strain
