Strength of Materials Flashcards
The stress where the Force applied is always perpendicular to the area of application
Normal Stress
The stress where the Force applied is always parallel to the area of application
Shear Stress
Formula for Normal Stress(σ)
σ = P / A
Formula for Shear Stress(τ)
τ = P / A
Another term for Normal Stress
Axial Stress
Another term for Shear Stress
Tangential Stress
Unit for Pascal
Newton / square meter (N/m^2)
Unit for MegaPascal
Newton / square milimeter (N/mm^2)
A joint that fixes two bars with a bolt and is subjected to both normal(bar experiences this) and shear(Bolt experiences this) stresses
Lap Joint
The perpendicular stress that the bolt exerts on the rectangular area of the hole on the bar
Bearing stress
Formulas for the Factor of Safety
F.S. = σult / σallow F.S.= Fult / Fallow F.S.= τult / τallow
The Factor of Safety must be __________
Greater than 1
Formula for Strain(ε)
ε = δ / L
δ - change in length
Formula for the angle of deformation(γ)
γ = arctan(ΔX / L) in RAD
Formula for Hooke’s Law
σ = Eε
E - Modulus of Elasticity
Formula for Shear Strain(τ)
τ = Gγ
G - Modulus of Rigidity
γ - angle of deformation
Derivation of the formula for deformation(δ)
σ = Eε
but σ = P/A and ε= δ/L
P/A = Eδ/L
Answer:
δ = PL / AE
Steel’s Modulus of Elasticity
Esteel = 200 GPa
Steel’s Modulus of Rigidity
Gsteel = 83 GPa
Formula for the elongation of a material due to its own weight
δweight = (ρgL^2) / (2E)
δtotal = δexternalforce + δweight
Formula for Total Strain Energy
U = 0.5F . δ
Note: used only when below proportionality limit
Property of a material that depicts the force required to cause deformation
Stiffness
Another term for Stiffness
Spring Constant(k)
Formula for Spring Constant(k)
k = F/δ k = AE/Lo
Lo - initial length
