13. MAX STRESS (BREAKING STRESS)
• It is the max stress a material can handle before it breaks
14. EXAMPLE 6
• Would the wire breaks or not?
• F/ A = 500 * 9.8 / pi*0.00052
• If the stress is > max stress the wire will break
• If the stress is < max stress it will not break
• What is the maximum weight this wire could handle
• StressMAX = mmax* g / A
Mmax= 6 kg
15. STRESS AND STRAIN IN DIFFERENT FORCE
DIRECTIONS
Tension Compression Shear
Stress= F/A Stress= F/A Stress= F/A
Strain= delta (L)/Lo Strain= delta (L)/Lo Strain= delta (x)/H
19. SHEAR STRESS
• It is used in cutting materials
• The area used is the area that is going to be cut
20. EXAMPLE 9
• H = 5 cm
• W= 20 cm
• L= 2cm
• F= 1000N
• Carbon steel shear modulus= 7.7 * 1010

the more force you need to
Change the volume of the material

27. SOLVE THIS QUESTION
• A carbon steel cylinder that has a young’s modulus of 200 GPa, bulk modulus of
140 GPA, And max shear stress of 256000 N/m2
• The radius of the upper and lower faces are 5 cm and the height is 20 cm
• A) If the specimen is subjected to a force of 100 KN. How long will it be stretched?
• B) Will it be cut using a force of 20000. N
• C) The strain at which this specimen starts its plastic region is at 6 x 10-5 , after
releasing the applied force will it return back or not? And why (by calculations)
28. SOLUTION : A) IF THE SPECIMEN IS SUBJECTED TO A
FORCE OF 100 KN. HOW LONG WILL IT BE STRETCHED?
• Y = stress/strain
• Stress = F/A = 100,000/pi * 0.052 = 12732395.4 N/m2
• Strain = delta (l) / 0.2
• Using Y= 200 Gpa
• Delta (l) = 0.000013 m
29. SOLUTION: B) WILL IT BE CUT USING A FORCE OF 20000 N
• Shear stress = F/A = 20000/pi*0.052
• And given that max shear stress is 256000 N/m2
• As the shear stress is
30. ANSWER: C) THE STRAIN AT WHICH THIS SPECIMEN STARTS ITS
PLASTIC REGION IS AT 6 X 10-5 , AFTER RELEASING THE APPLIED FORCE
WILL IT RETURN BACK OR NOT? AND WHY (BY CALCULATIONS)
• From a) the change in length is found to be 0.000013 m
• The strain = delta (l)/Lo = 0.000065 = 6.5*10-5
• As the strain is higher than the strain at which the specimen enters the plastic
region, it will not return back to its original shape.
