Lecturer 1 – Simple stress
Simple stress
There are three types of simple stress namely; normal stress, shearing stress,
and bearing stress.
• Normal stress
• Compressive and tensile stress
σ =Force / Area.
Sample problem 1
A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 100 mm must carry a tensile
load of 400 kN. Determine the outside diameter of the tube if the stress is
limited to 120 MN/m² .
Sample problem 2
• Determine the largest weight W that can be supported by two wires shown
in Fig. 109. The stress in either wire is not to exceed 30 ksi. The cross-
sectional areas of wires AB and AC are 0.4 in2 and 0.5 in2 , respectively.
Shearing Stress
• Forces parallel to the area resisting the force cause shearing stress. It
differs to tensile and compressive stresses, which are caused by forces
perpendicular to the area on which they act. Shearing stress is also known
as tangential stress
Shearing Stress
Punching Shear
Punching shear is a phenomenon where a concentrated force causes a shear
failure cone that "punches" through.
τ = F / πd(t)
Sample problem 1
w = 200 mm
b = 100 mm
t = 25 mm
P = 1200 N
Sample problem 2
P = 1200 N
d = 20 mm
w = 200 mm
t = 25 mm
FBD of double shear
Bearing Stress
• Bearing stress is the contact pressure between the separate bodies. It
differs from compressive stress, as it is an internal stress caused by
compressive forces.

Sample problem
• in the figure, assume that a 20-mm-diameter rivet joins the plates that are
each 110 mm wide. The allowable stresses are 120 MPa for bearing in the
plate material and 60 MPa for shearing of rivet. Determine (a) the
minimum thickness of each plate; and (b) the largest average tensile stress
in the plates.
Activity
1) an aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod and a bronze rod
as shown in Fig.. Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Find the
maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in steel of 140 MPa, in
aluminum of 90 MPa, or in bronze of 100 MPa.
2) A 12-inches square steel bearing plate lies between an 8-inches diameter
wooden post and a concrete footing as shown in Fig.. Determine the
maximum value of the load P if the stress in wood is limited to 1800 psi and
that in concrete to 650 psi.
3) Find the smallest diameter bolt that can be used in the clevis shown in
Fig. if P = 400 kN. The shearing strength of the bolt is 300 MPa.
4) Compute the shearing stress in the pin at B for the member supported as
shown in Fig. P-119. The pin diameter is 20 mm.
5) What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a plate that is
25 mm thick? The shear strength is 350 MN/m2 .
