2. Types of loading
Axial load “load that act
along the axis of the rod
(tension or compression
members)
Lateral load “ transverse
load which acting
perpendicular to its axis
(shearing force)
Torsion “members subject
to equal and opposite
torques T
3. The concept of stresses
Definition of stresses:
stress is the internal
resistance offered by a
unit area of the material
from which the member
is made to an externally
applied load.
Stress is the force by
unit area
σ =force/area= P/A
4. Normal stress distribution
in axially loaded member is
uniform.
Application of normal
stresses
1. Bridge truss which consist
of two force members that
may be in tension or
compression
2. A rod supporting a heavy
load that tend to pull the
rod with tension force
3. Short blocks supporting
heavy loads that tend to
crush them with
compressive forces
5. Units of stresses
SI metric units
Load p expressed in Newton (N) and A in square
meters (m2) so σ will be expressed in N/ m2 “pascal”
(Pa)
1KPa =103 Pa=103 N/ m2
1Mpa =106Pa=106 N/ m2
1GPa =109Pa=109 N/ m2
U.S units
Load p expressed in pounds (Ib) or kilopounds (Kip)
and A in square inches (in2) so σ will be expressed in
pound/square inch (Psi) or kilopounds per square
inch (Ksi)
6. Stress & strain : axial loading
Deformation which caused by the load applied
to a structure is very important aspect of
analysis and design.
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.
Determination of the stress distribution within
a member also requires consideration of
deformations in the member
8. Mechanical properties of metals
Stress - Yield, Ultimate, Fracture, Proof, Offset Yield.
Measured as stress (MPa)
Ductility - Measure of ability to deform plastically without
fracture - Elongation, Area Reduction, Fracture Strain - (no
units or mm/mm)
Elasticity: ability of materials to retune to its original shape
&size after removing the load.
Plasticity: ability of materials to keep the deformation after
removing the load.
Stiffness: ability of materials to resist a deformation within
the linear range

Elastic Deformation
For most metals, the elastic region is linear. For some
materials, including metals such as cast iron,
polymers, and concrete, the elastic region is non-
linear.
If the behavior is linear elastic, or nearly linear-
elastic, Hooke’s Law may be applied:
σ=E Ɛ
Where E is the modulus of elasticity, the property which

19. Hooke’s Law
Elastic Deformation
Elastic deformation is not permanent; it means that when
the load is removed, the part returns to its original shape
and dimensions.
For most metals, the elastic region is linear. For some
materials, including metals such as cast iron, polymers,
and concrete, the elastic region is non-linear.
If the behavior is linear elastic, or nearly linear-elastic,
Hooke’s Law may be applied:

21. Stress-strain behavior
Elastic deformation
Reversible: when the stress is
removed, the material returns to
the dimension it had before the
loading. Usually strains are small
(except for the case of plastics).
Plastic deformation
Irreversible: when the stress
is removed, the material
does not return to its
previous dimension.

The 0.2% offset yield stress
is the stress that gives a plastic
(permanent) strain of 0.002.

Total strain =
elastic strain + plastic strain
Ɛe= σ/E
Ɛp=Ɛ- Ɛe
24. Tensile properties: Yielding
Yield strength σy - is chosen
as that causing a permanent
strain of 0.002
Yield point P - the strain
deviates from being
proportional to the stress (the
proportional limit)
The yield stress is a measure
of resistance to plastic
deformation
25. Tensile properties: Yielding
For a low-carbon steel,
the stress vs. strain
curve includes both an
upper and lower yield
point.
The yield strength is
defined in this case as
the average stress at
the lower yield point.
26. Tensile Strength
For structural applications,
the yield stress is usually a
more important property
than the tensile strength,
since once the it is passed,
the structure has deformed
beyond acceptable limits

Toughness: A measure of the ability of
a material to absorb energy without
fracture. (J/m3 or N.mm/mm3= MPa)
Resilience: A measure of the ability of a
material to absorb energy without
plastic or permanent deformation.
(J/m3 or N.mm/mm3= MPa)

deformation
Design stress
Is the calculated stress
level and a design
factor used to
protect against
unanticipated failure.
36. Example problem
Determine the mechanical properties for metal which have the
stress-strain curve as shown If the specimen of this materials is
stressed to 300 MPa , determine the permanent strain that remains in the
specimen when the load is released.
37. The elastic modulus is the slope in the linear elastic
region
For the yield strength, the 0.002 strain offset line is
drawn dashed. It intersects the stress-strain curve at
approximately 285 MPa
38. (d) The tensile strength is approximately 370
MPa, corresponding to the maximum stress on
the complete stress-strain plot.
If the gauge length (L0) = 12 cm , the length at
fracture (Lf) = 16 cm, original diameter (d0)= 12
mm, the diameter at fracture (df) = 8mm.
Then the ductility =
39. Example 2.
From the tensile stress- strain behavior for brass
specimen shown in figure. Determine the following
1 the modulus of elasticity
2 the yield strength at strain offest 0f 0.002
3 the maximum load that can be sustained by a
cylindrical specimen having an original diameter of
12.8 mm.
4 the change in length of a specimen originally 250 mm
long that is subjected to a tensile strength of 345 MPa
40.
41. To compute the change in the length , it is first necessary to determine the
strain that is produced by the stress of 345 MPa from the curve which is equal
to 0.06 so the change in length = 0.06 x250mm =15 mm
