Concept of Stress
Objectives
The main objective of the study of mechanics of materials is to provide the
future engineer with the means of analyzing and designing various machines
and load bearing structures.
Both the analysis and design of a
given
structure
involve
the
determination of stresses and
deformations. This chapter is
devoted to the concept of stress.

Statics Review
Example: Consider the structure shown below and assume that it is
designed to support a 30 kN load. The structure consists of a boom and rod
joined by pins (zero moment connections) at the junctions and supports.
Plan: Perform a static analysis to
determine the internal force in each
structural member and the reaction
forces at the supports

of the forces distributed over a given section.

Design of new structures requires selection of appropriate materials and
component dimensions to meet performance requirements
For reasons based on cost, weight, availability, etc., the choice is made to
construct the rod from aluminum (σall = 100 MPa). What is an appropriate

The detailed distribution of stress is statically
indeterminate, i.e., cannot be found from statics
alone.
MEE 320: Strength of Materials
Centric & Eccentric Loading
11
If a two-force member is eccentrically
loaded, then the resultant of the stress
distribution in a section must yield an axial
force and a moment.
The stress distributions in eccentrically loaded
members cannot be uniform or symmetric.
A uniform distribution of stress in a section infers that the line of
action for the resultant of the internal forces passes through the
centroid of the section.
A uniform distribution of stress is only possible if the concentrated
loads on the end sections of two-force members are applied at the
section centroids. This is referred to as centric loading.

Shearing Stress
12
Forces P and P’ are applied transversely to the member AB.

aveP
The corresponding average shear stress is,
Corresponding internal forces act in the plane of
section C and are called shearing forces. The resultant
of the internal shear force distribution is defined as the
shear of the section and is equal to the load P.
Shear stress distribution varies from zero at the
member surfaces to maximum values that may
be much larger than the average value.
The shear stress distribution cannot be
assumed to be uniform.

Procedure for Analysis
15
The statement of the problem should be clear and precise. It should contain
the given data and indicate what information is required. A simplified
drawing showing all essential quantities involved should be included.
1.
Write the equilibrium equations of the system, this will require the
drawing of one or several FBDs.
2.
Determine the reactions at supports and internal forces and couples.
3.
Compute the required stresses and deformations.
4.
After the answer has been obtained, it should be carefully checked. It can
be done by substituting the numerical values obtained into an equation
which has not yet been used and verifying that the equation is satisfied.

Stress in Two Force Members
29
We will show that either axial or transverse
forces may produce both normal and shear
stresses with respect to a plane other than
one cut perpendicular to the member axis.
Axial forces on a two force member result
in only normal stresses on a plane cut
perpendicular to the member axis.
Transverse forces on bolts and pins result
in only shear stresses on the plane
perpendicular to bolt or pin axis.
