Roark's Formula 0 19

This document discusses stress and strain in materials. It describes how a force applied to a surface is distributed across that surface in both normal and tangential directions, creating tensile or compressive stresses normal to the surface and shear stresses tangential to the surface. The document examines an infinitesimal area on the surface and represents the equivalent concentrated force on that area as having components in the x, y, and z directions.

10 Formulas for Stress and Strain [CHAP.

surface containing Q. In the general case, this distribution will not be


uniform along the surface, and will be neither normal nor tangential
to the surface at Q. However, the force distribution at Q will have
components in the normal and tangential directions. These compo-
nents will be tensile or compressive and shear stresses, respectively.
Following a right-handed rectangular coordinate system, the y and z
axes are defined perpendicular to x, and tangential to the surface.
Examine an infinitesimal area DAx ¼ DyDz surrounding Q, as shown
in Fig. 2.2(a). The equivalent concentrated force due to the force
distribution across this area is DFx , which in general is neither
normal nor tangential to the surface (the subscript x is used to
designate the normal to the area). The force DFx has components in
the x, y, and z directions, which are labeled DFxx , DFxy , and DFxz ,
respectively, as shown in Fig. 2.2(b). Note that the first subscript
