Intended Learning Outcomes
• Recall Normal Stress and Shear Stress discussed in the previous
Lecture
• Explain Examples of Shear Stress produced in a solid body as a
result of application of external load
• Describe the Stress on an Oblique Plane and the Maximum Normal
and Shear Stresses acting on the plane
• Compare Centric & Eccentric Loading
• Explain Normal Strain and Shear Strain produced in a solid body as a
result of external force
• Define Poisson’s Ratio
1-2
Axial Loading: Normal Stress
• The resultant of the internal forces for an axially
loaded member is normal to a section cut
perpendicular to the member axis.
1- 3
Shearing Stress
• Forces P and P’ are applied transversely to the
member AB.
• 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.
• The corresponding average shear stress is,

A
• 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.

Stress in Two Force Members
• Axial forces on a two-force
member result in only normal
stresses on a plane cut
perpendicular to the member axis.

Stress on an Oblique Plane Under Axial Loading
• Pass a section through the member forming
an angle q with the normal plane.

1- 8
Centric & Eccentric Loading
• 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.

Shear Strain
• Shear stresses acting on an element of material
(Figure a) are accompanied by shear strains.
• The shear stresses have no tendency to elongate
or shorten the element in the x, y, and z
directions.
• Instead, the shear stresses produce a change in
the shape of the element (Figure b).
• It is represented by symbol Gamma ( )
• The angle is a measure of the distortion, or
change in shape, of the element and is called the
shear strain.
