1.1-1.2. Recall Statics

A body can be subjected to several different types of

external loads. They can be classified as either
 surface forces (concentrated or distributed)
 body forces

In addition to the external loads, the support reactions

should also be shown in free body diagrams (FBD).
-- If the support prevents translation, a reaction force is
developed on the body
-- If the support prevents rotation, a reaction moment is
developed on the body

Equations of equilibrium (Denge denklemleri)

Use equations of equilibrium to compute

 unknown support reactions
 Internal resultant loadings (N,V,M,T)

 described with one index only.

Shear stress:
 denoted with τ.
 described with two indices.
 the first index defines the orientation of the area that the stress acts
 the second index defines the axis along which the stress acts

CHAPTER 1 NOTES 6 / 21
 General state of stress:
Consider a cubic element taken out of a body under loading

Now, let’s use moment equilibrium to show that cross shear terms are equal (that is, shear stress
tensor is symmetric).

1.4. Average Normal Stress in an Axially Loaded Bar
- truss members
- we can neglect their weight (small compared to loading)

Assumptions
1. The bar remains straight before and after the load is
applied, and the cross-section remains plane after
deformation → uniform deformation
2. The load should be applied along the centroidal axis
3. The material should be homogenous and isotropic

Equations of equilibrium
F Rz   Fz

where σ is the average normal stress, N is the internal resultant

normal force, and A is the cross-sectional area.

M Rx  Mx

M Ry  My

Equations (1) and (2) are automatically satisfied, because N pass

through the centroid, for which  x dA  0 and  y dA  0 .
Maximum average normal stress

N may change along the length of the bar due to various external loads

A section area may change along the length of the bar

Thus, it is important to find the maximum of (N/A). It may be helpful to draw a normal force diagram.

As the plates are thin, the bending moment due to F can be neglected.
For thick plates, F will have a bending effect in addition to shearing.

CHAPTER 1 NOTES 10 / 21
Example:
The bar is held in equilibrium by the pin supports at A and B. Note that the support at A has a single leaf and therefore it
involves single shear in the pin, and the support at B has a double leaf and therefore it involves double shear.

The allowable shear stress for both pins is τallow = 125 MPa. If x = 1 m and w= 12 kN/m, determine the smallest required
diameter of pins A and B. Neglect any axial force in the bar.

CHAPTER 1 NOTES 11 / 21
1.6. Allowable Stress
 The stress in machine element must remain below certain values.
 These values are selected to be smaller than the true limits of the material.
 Many unknown factors influence the actual stress in a member.
 A factor of safety (F.S.) is needed to obtained allowable load.
 F.S. is a ratio of the failure load divided by the allowable load

 Usually, the load and stress are linearly related, so we have

 Steel has brittle behavior when it contains high carbon
content, and it is ductile when the carbon content is
reduced.
 Materials become more brittle at low temperatures,
whereas they become more ductile at high
temperatures

Linear relationship between stress and strain   E (similar

to F= k x)
 E − modulus of elasticity (a stiffness property)
For steel, E=200 GPa
For aluminum, E=70 GPa
For rubber, E=0.7 MPa
 To use   E , the linear-elastic behavior must be
maintained. If the stress in the material exceeds
the proportional limit,   E is no longer valid!

Strain energy
If a ductile material is loaded into the plastic region and then unloaded, elastic strain is recovered
whereas the plastic strain remains (Fig.3-14a). As a result, the material is subjected to a permanent set.

If the material is loaded again, the yielding occurs at a higher yield point A’ (Fig.3-14a). As a consequence,
the material hardens.

If the loading/unloaded is applied in a cyclic manner, some heat or energy will be lost and mechanic
hysteresis occurs (the colored area in Fig. 3-14b).

(Section 4.4 intentionally precedes 4.3)

A member is statically indeterminate when equations of equilibrium are not sufficient to

determine the reactions on a member.

Additional equations are needed.  We consider the deformed geometry and write additional
equations that ensures a compatible deformation in a deformed body.
These equations are called compatibility conditions.

Equilibrium equation:

Notice that this equation is not sufficient to determine the two reactions
on the bar.

Let’s write the compatibility condition that the length of the bar should
remain unchanged since we have fixed support at both ends.

Now, we can combine equilibrium equation with compatibility condition

CHAPTER 7: TRANSVERSE SHEAR (ENİNE KAYMA)

7.1. Shear in Straight Members

 Beams generally support both shear and moment loadings
 Due to the complementary property of shear, transverse shear stress is also
associated to longitudinal shear stress.

Why shear stress develops on the longitudinal planes of the beam ?

Consider the beam made from three boards that are not bonded together (Fig. 7-
2). The application of a the force P will cause the boards to slide over each other.
If the boards are bonded, then the longitudinal shear stress will prevent sliding of the boards.

As a result of the shear stresses, shear strains are developed.

These shear strains are in a complex manner (they are not linearly varying as in bending and torsion).
This non-uniform shear strain variation will cause the cross section to warp (çarpılma).

For axial loading, the strains are constant. Similarly, for bending and torsion, the strains are linear. Thus, we were
able to start from strain distributions to compute stresses.
For transverse shear, on the other hand, the strains are nonlinear and cannot be easily expressed mathematically.
Therefore, we will not start from strains to compute stresses.
Instead, we will compute shear stresses using the V = dM/dx formula.

9.1. Plane-Stress Transformation
 The general state of stress is characterized by 6 independent stress components (Fig. 9-1a).
 If there is no load on the surface of a body, then the normal and shear stress components are zero on the face
of an element that lies on the surface (Fig. 9-1b).
 This state of stress is called plane-stress and the body can be analyzed in a single plane.
 Plane-stress state can be represented by 3 stress components (σx, σy,τxy) (see Fig. 9-1c).

If the orientation of coordinate axes changes, the stresses

components on the new orientation also changes.
(σx, σy,τxy) → (σx’, σy’,τx’y’)

 (σx’, σy’,τx’y’) stress components can be expressed in terms of

(σx, σy,τxy) components using equilibrium equations.

 
Locate a reference point A, which has coordinates A  x , xy . 
 Connect the points C and A, and compute the distance CA (the radius of the circle) by trigonometry.

Principal stresses
 The circle intersect the σ axis at two points (B and D). They are the principal stresses  1   2 .
 The angle between CA and CB is 2 p1 , and the angle between CA and CD is 2 p 2 .
 A rotation of 2 in the circle corresponds to a rotation of  in the element.

Maximum shear stress

 The radius of circle is equal to the maximum shear stress value.
 The angle between CA and CE is 2 s1 , and the angle between CA and CF is 2 s 2 .

The deflection diagram of the longitudinal axis that passes through the centroid of each
cross sectional area of the beam is called the elastic curve. It is often helpful to sketch
the deflected shape of the elastic curve to "visualize" the computed results and
partially check these results.

If the moment diagram is known, the elastic curve can be

constructed without much difficulty. (Recall that if the beam
is slender, moment is more influential than shear.)

Sign Convention

Before solving the above differential equations (*), w(x) or M(x) is first calculated.
Often we choose to calculate M(x) as it leads to two integration constants.

Solution of any of these equations requires successive integrations. For each integration, it is
necessary to introduce integration constants.
To evaluate the integration constants, it is necessary to know the values of v(x), w(x), V(x) or M(x)
at some particular locations. → BOUNDARY CONDITIONS (Table 12-1)
(Do Not Memorize! Try To Understand)

Sometimes it is not possible to use a single x coordinate to express the equation for the slope or
the elastic curve. In that case, continuity conditions must be used to evaluate some of the
integration constants.
