Objective: Resistance Offered Area
OBJECTIVE
When a load is applied the member offers resistance to the load. Resistance offered
per unit area is known as stress. i.e.
Resistance offered
Stress =
Area
A load, when applied on to a member will ptoduce different types of stresses depending on
how the load is applied. Following sections explain this.
1. Direct stress:
In both a and b the load P acts along the axis of the bar. In a it is tensile and in b it is
compressive. This load will cause a stress in the cross section of the bar , tensile stress in a
compressive stress in b . this stress is given by
load (P)
Stress =
area( A)
Bending stress
Consider a bar fixed at one end and carrying a load P at the other end at a section X-X,
distance x from fixed end bending moment
M=P(l-x)
σ M
=
y I
I=moment of inertia
Torsional stress
Due to this, shear stresses are developed in the shaft. The shaft gets twisted by an angle ϴ.

Problems
1. Determine the force required to punch a hole of 20mm diameter in a
5mm thick plate with a ultimate shear strength of 250MPa? (N/D 2014)
Given Data:
D=20mm, t=5mm, τ = 250N/mm2
Solution
We know that area under the shear
A=πD x t = πx20x 5=314mm2
Force
P=A x τ = 314 x 250= 78500N=78.5kN
2.A electric motor weighing 500N is mounted on short cantilever beam uniform
rectangular cross section . the weight of the motor acts at a distance of 300mm from the
support. The depth of the section is twice the width. Determine cross section of the
beam. The allowable bending stress is 40N/mm2.
Given data:
