Module 2 Part 3

This document discusses axially loaded members and includes the following key points: 1) It describes stress, strain, and changes in length for bars of uniform and varying cross sections under axial loads. 2) The principle of superposition is introduced, which states the combined effects of multiple loads is the sum of the individual load effects. 3) Six numerical problems are presented and solved to demonstrate analyzing stress and strain in axially loaded members using principles of mechanics of materials.

Stress, Strain and change in length in Axially Loaded Members
a) Bars of uniform cross section

• Consider a bar of length L and cross sectional area A under the action of a
force P
• Assume that the bar undergoes a deformation ΔL

b) Bars of varying cross section in steps

Principle of Superposition

• The principle of superposition states that, the combined effect of several


loads acting simultaneously on various segments of a body, is equal to the
algebraic sum of the effects of each load acting individually
• Thus each segment can be considered for its equilibrium using free body
diagrams of each segments of the body
• The principle of superposition is applicable to all parameters like stress,
strain and deflection
