Stress & Strain: Axial Loading

Suitability of a structure or machine may depend on the deformations in
the structure as well as the stresses induced under loading. Statics
analyses alone are not sufficient.
Considering structures as deformable allows determination of member
forces and reactions which are statically indeterminate.
Determination of the stress distribution within a member also requires
consideration of deformations in the member.
Chapter 2 is concerned with deformation of a structural member under

axial loading. Later chapters will deal with torsional and pure bending
loads.

Hookes Law: Modulus of Elasticity
Strength is affected by alloying,

heat treating, and manufacturing
process but stiffness (Modulus of
Elasticity) is not.
Elastic vs. Plastic Behavior

If the strain disappears when the
stress is removed, the material is
said to behave elastically.
The largest stress for which this
occurs is called the elastic limit.
When the strain does not return
to zero after the stress is
removed, the material is said to
behave plastically.
Fatigue
Fatigue properties are shown on
S-N diagrams.
A member may fail due to fatigue
at stress levels significantly below
the ultimate strength if subjected
to many loading cycles.
When the stress is reduced below
the endurance limit, fatigue
failures do not occur for any
number of cycles.

SOLUTION:
Divide the rod into components at
the load application points.
Apply a free-body analysis on each
component to determine the
internal force.
Determine the deformation of
the steel rod shown under the
given loads.
Evaluate the total of the component

deflections.
SOLUTION:
Divide the rod into three
components:
Static Indeterminacy
Structures for which internal forces and reactions
cannot be determined from statics alone are said
to be statically indeterminate.
A structure will be statically indeterminate
whenever it is held by more supports than are
required to maintain its equilibrium.
Redundant reactions are replaced with
unknown loads which along with the other
loads must produce compatible deformations.
Deformations due to actual loads and redundant
reactions are determined separately and then added
or superposed.

Example 2.04
Determine the reactions at A and B for the steel
bar and loading shown, assuming a close fit at
both supports before the loads are applied.
SOLUTION:
Consider the reaction at B as redundant, release
the bar from that support, and solve for the
displacement at B due to the applied loads.
Solve for the displacement at B due to the

redundant reaction at B.
Require that the displacements due to the loads
and due to the redundant reaction be compatible,
i.e., require that their sum be zero.
Solve for the reaction at A due to applied loads
and the reaction found at B.

Thermal Stresses
A temperature change results in a change in length or
thermal strain. There is no stress associated with the
thermal strain unless the elongation is restrained by
the supports.
Treat the additional support as redundant and apply
the principle of superposition.

Generalized Hookes Law

For an element subjected to multi-axial loading,
the normal strain components resulting from the
stress components may be determined from the
principle of superposition. This requires:
1) strain is linearly related to stress
2) deformations are small

Shearing Strain
A cubic element subjected to a shear stress will
deform into a rhomboid. The corresponding shear
strain is quantified in terms of the change in angle
between the sides,
xy f xy
A plot of shear stress vs. shear strain is similar to the

previous plots of normal stress vs. normal strain
except that the strength values are approximately
half. For small strains,
xy G xy yz G yz zx G zx
where G is the modulus of rigidity or shear modulus.
Example 2.10
SOLUTION:
Determine the average angular
deformation or shearing strain of
the block.
A rectangular block of material with

modulus of rigidity G = 630 MPa is
bonded to two rigid horizontal plates.
The lower plate is fixed, while the
upper plate is subjected to a horizontal
force P. Knowing that the upper plate
moves through 1 mm under the action
of the force, determine a) the average
shearing strain in the material, and b)
the force P exerted on the plate.
Apply Hookes law for shearing stress

and strain to find the corresponding
shearing stress.
Use the definition of shearing stress to

find the force P.
Relation Among E, n, and G

An axially loaded slender bar will
elongate in the axial direction and
contract in the transverse directions.
An initially cubic element oriented as in
the top figure will deform into a
rectangular parallelepiped. The axial load
produces a normal strain.
If the cubic element is oriented as in the
bottom figure, it will deform into a
rhombus. Axial load also results in a shear
strain.
Components of normal and shear strain are
related,

Sample Problem 2.5

A circle of diameter d = 225 mm is scribed on
an unstressed aluminum plate of thickness t =
18 mm. Forces acting in the plane of the plate
later cause normal stresses x = 84 MPa and z
= 140 MPa.
For E = 70 GPa and n = 1/3, determine the
change in:
a) the length of diameter AB,
b) the length of diameter CD,
c) the thickness of the plate, and
d) the volume of the plate.

Maximum stress is equal to the yield

At loadings above the maximum

elastic load, a region of plastic
deformations develop near the hole.
As the loading increases, the plastic

region expands until the section is at
a uniform stress equal to the yield

stress.
Residual Stresses
When a single structural element is loaded uniformly
beyond its yield stress and then unloaded, it is permanently
deformed but all stresses disappear. This is not the general
result.
Residual stresses will remain in a structure after
loading and unloading if
- only part of the structure undergoes plastic
deformation
- different parts of the structure undergo different
plastic deformations
Residual stresses also result from the uneven heating or
cooling of structures or structural elements
