PREFACE The present textbook is the first volume from a series of textbooks, titled Mechanics of Materials Student Workbook, intended to familiarize the students enrolled in the first semester of their sophomore year at the Technical University of Bucharest, School of Civil Engineering, with the practical application of the theoretical concepts developed during the weekly lectures. This textbook has in fact a complementary role to the more theoretically orientated textbook published under the name of Lectures in Mechanics of Materials, volume I. A number of four chapters are covered in the textbook. Briefly, the organization is as follows: Chapter 1 - Stress-Strain Diagram and Material Properties; Chapter 2 - Geometrical Characteristics of the Beam Cross-Section; Chapter 3 - Equilibrium of the Plane Linear Member and Chapter 4 - Axial Deformation. Each chapter starts with a theoretical section, named Theoretical Background, where the most important theoretical aspects are succinctly discussed. This section is followed by the Solved Problems section which contains a number of representative solved problems. Finally, the last section is the Proposed Problems section where a relatively large number of problems are proposed to the student for private exercise. With the intent to increase the student appetite towards using the modern capability of the numerical computer, the problems contained in the Solved Problems sections are solved using the MATHCAD software capabilities in parallel to the more classical method of the manual calculation. The first two chapters have a number of appendices attached. These appendices contain important engineering data necessary in solving some of the proposed problems. It is our pleasure to acknowledge the help that we received during the preparation of this textbook from our younger colleague Eng. George Vezeanu. Finally, the authors express their sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Eng. Dan Cretu, the Chairman of the Strength of Material Department, for his encouragements and support in the realization of this textbook. Dr. Eng Ion S. Simulescu Eng. Cristian Ghindea Bucharest, Romania. November, 2004.

CHAPTER 1 Stress-Strain Diagrams and Material Properties

1.1. Theoretical Background 1.1.1 Tension Static Test Theoretical Stress-Strain Diagram for Structural Steel The test is conducted by subjecting a specimen made of structural steel to a monotonically increasing loading. The specimen is schematically depicted in Figure 1.1.1 During the test a series of pairs (P*,d*) are collected and tabulated. Consequently, the normal stress * and the corresponding axial strain * are calculated as:

The normal stress * and axial strain * calculated using the formulae (1.1) and (1.2) are called engineering stress and engineering stain, respectively. If the normal stress and the normal strain are calculated using the value of the measurements at the particular moment the normal stress and the corresponding axial strain are called true stress and true strain, respectively. They are calculated as:

Figure 1.1.2

The typical tensile stress-strain diagram for structural steel behavior is shown in Figure 1.1.2. This stress-strain diagram plotted in the plan is characterized by a number of defining points:

Point A (PLPL) - where PL is the proportional limit; Point B (YY) - where Y is the yielding point; Point C (EYEY) - where EY is the end stress of the perfect plastic region; Point D (UU) - where U is the ultimate stress; Point E (FF) - where F is the fracture stress; Point E’ (FF’) - where F is the true fracture stress.

The true stress-strain diagram is plotted with a dashed line above the engineering stress-strain diagram. For some materials (i.e. aluminum), which do not have after the proportional limit point a perfect plasticity region, the yield point is not easily identify and, consequently, it is determined using a method called the offset method. A straight line parallel to the initial linear part of the stress-strain diagram and passing through

002.0 is drawn. The construction is shown in Figure 1.1.3. The point A is located at the intersection between the stress-strain diagram and the parallel line. The stress corresponding to point A is called offset yield stress and is used instead of the yield stress.

1.1.2 Material Behavior Non-Linear Elastic Behavior

Figure 1.1.4

The non-linear elastic behavior is characterized by a one-to-one correspondence between the stress and the strain. During loading or unloading for a given value of always corresponds the same value of . Mathematically this can be expressed as:

Non-Linear Elasto-Plastic Behavior

Figure 1.1.5

The elasto-plastic behavior is characterized by a different behavior during loading and unloading phases. During the unloading phase the material behaves elastically. Consequently, even when the load is completely removed a residual strain remains.

Figure 1.1.6 An idealized elasto-plastic behavior typical for structural steel is the Prandthl’s curve shown in Figure 1.1.6. This curve represents a material with an elastic-perfect plastic behavior.

Ductile and Brittle Materials A material is ductile if can undergo large plastic strain before fracture. In contrast, a material which fails at small strain in classified as brittle. The difference between the behavior of a ductile and brittle material is schematically pictured in Figure 1.1.7.

Figure 1.1.7 The ductility of a material in tension is characterized by its elongation and reduction of the area at the cross-section where the failure occurs. The percentage elongation is defined as:

where 0A and failureA are the original and failure areas, respectively.

1.1.3 Linear Elasticity, Hook’s Law and Poisson’s Ratio A bar is loaded in tension, as shown in Figure 1.1.8.b, the axial elongation is accompanied by lateral contraction.

Page 10: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

Figure 1.1.8

The structural steel axially loaded under the proportionality limit PL behaves linearly elastic. Mathematically, the relation between the stress and strain is expressed by the Hook’s Law: *E if PL (1.8) where E is the modulus of elasticity. The lateral strain lateral is proportional with the longitudinal strain . The relation is:

*lateral (1.9)

where is the Poisson’s ratio. Consequently, the elastic behavior of a material is characterized by two material constants: the modulus of elasticity, E, and the Poisson’s ratio, . 1.2 Solved Problems Problem 1.2.1- Strain Measurements A mechanical extensometer uses the lever principle to magnify the elongation of a test specimen enough to make the elongation (or contraction) readable. The extensometer shown in Figure 1.2.1 is held against the test specimen by a spring that forces two sharp points against the specimen at A and B. The pointer AD pivots about a pin at C, so that distance between the contact points at A and B is exactly La = 15 cm (the gage length) of this extensometer when the pointer points to the origin, O, on the scale. In a particular test, the extensometer arm points "precisely" at point O when the load P is zero. Later in the test, the 25.5 cm long pointer points a distance d = 0.30 cm below point O. What is the current extensional strain in the test specimen at this reading? A. General Observations

The body of the extensometer is considered rigid in comparison to the specimen subjected to deformation. Consequently, the distance BC remains unaffected by the deformation of the specimen. This finding implies that during the elongation only the point A can move from A to A*.

Problem 1.2.2- Stress-Strain Diagram The tension specimen, shown in Figure 1.2.2.a, with an initial diameter d0=12 mm and a gage length L0 = 50 mm is used to obtain the load-elongation data contained in Table 1.2.1. Using the test data plot the stress-strain diagram and then calculate the following: (a) the proportional limit, (b) modulus of elasticity, (c) yield stress at 0.2% offset, (d) ultimate stress, (e) percent elongation and (g) percentage area.

1.3 Proposed Problems Problem 1.3.1 A "pencil" laser extensometer, like the mechanical lever extensometer in Prob.1.2.1, measures elongation, from which extensional strain can be computed, by multiplying the elongation. In Figure 1.3.1 the laser extensometer is being used to measure strain in a reinforced concrete column. The target is set up across the room from the test specimen so that the distance from the fulcrum, C, of the laser to the reference point O on the target is dOC = 5m. Also, the target is set so that the laser beam points directly at point O on the target when the extensometer points are exactly Lo = 150 mm apart on the specimen, and the cross section at B does not move vertically. At a particular value of (compressive) load P, the laser points upward by an angle that is indicated on the target to be = 0.0030 rad. Determine the extensional strain in the concrete column at this load value.

Mohr’s Circle Representation of the Moments of Inertia (Figure 2.1.6)

Figure 2.1.6

Practically the Mohr’s circle is constructed using the following steps:

(a) The coordinates system O is drawn as shown in Figure 2.1.6. The

horizontal axis O represents the moments of inertia, while the vertical axis O represents the product of inertia (note that the positive axis is drawn

upwards). The drawing should be done roughly to scale. The representation considers that the following conditions are met: zy II , 0yI , 0zI and

0yzI ;

(b) Using the calculated values of the moments of inertia yI and zI and the product

of inertia yzI two points noted as Y and Z are placed on the drawing. The line

YZ intersects the horizontal axis in point C which represents the center of the Mohr’s circle;

(c) The distance CY is the radius of the circle. Using the radius CY and the position of the center C the Mohr’s circle is constructed. The intersection points,

1P and 2P , between the circle and the horizontal axis represent the maximum and the minimum moments of inertia;

Page 45: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 44 -

(d) The absolute value of the )2tan( 0 can be calculated from the graph;

(e) The angle of the principal direction 1 is the angle measured in the counter-

clockwise direction between lines CY and CP1. To obtain the position of the two principal directions corresponding to the cross-section system Oyz an additional point Z’, the reflection of the point Z in reference to axis , has to be constructed. The lines Z’P1 and Z’P2 represent the principal direction 1 (associated with the maximum moment of inertia) and 2 (associated with the minimum moment of inertia), respectively. The two directions can then be transcribed on the cross-section sketch.

Discussion regarding the correlation between the calculated principal directions

and the Mohr’s circle representation Four cases can be identified. They are as follows:

(a) if zy II and 0yzI then:

0)2tan( 0

180290 0 is located in the second quadrant 9045 01 is located in first quadrant and 0)tan( 01

180135 02 is located in second quadrant and 0)tan( 02

conclusion: the angle 02 verifies the relation (2.20) and represents the angle of the

principal direction. The graphical representation of the principal directions in both planes, Oyz and O , is shown in Figure 2.1.7.

Mathematical Observations Concerning the Evaluation of the Surface Integrals The equations (2.1) through (2.9) require, for the practical cases, the evaluation of the surface integral. These equations can be replaced by the following general equation:

dAzyfIA

),( (2.27)

If the function ),( zyf is continuous on the rectangular domain D in plane Oyz , based on Fubini’s theorem the surface integral is expressed as a double integral:

D

dzdyzyfI **),( (2.28)

The domain D , as shown in Figure 2.1.11, is bounded above and below by the curves )(1 xfy and )(2 xfy , respectively, and by ax to the left and bx to the right.

In practice, the double integral is calculated using the method of iterated integrals as:

b

a

xf

xf

dxdyyxfI)(

)(

*)*),(( (2.29)

Figure 2.1.11

In general the domain D is not of rectangular shape and the double integral (2.28) is easier to be evaluated using the natural coordinate system Ouv of the curves describing the boundary. Considering the transformation:

),( vux (2.30)

),( vuz (2.31) the double integral can be expressed as:

T

),( (2.32)

and T is the domain mapped from D by the transformations (2.30) and (2.31). The same method of iterated integrals is used to evaluate the double integral (2.31). The advantage of using the variables pertinent to the natural coordinate system is that the integral separates into two independent integral with constant limits, facilitating the integration process.

coordinate system axes coincide with the principal axes of inertia. If the moments of inertia about axes of a cartesian coordinate system Oyz parallel with the centroidal coordinate system axes and passing through the lower corner of the rectangle are required, the parallel-axis theorem for moments of inertia must be employed in the calculation:

Note: For a circular cross-section the product of inertia calculated about the centroidal coordinate system is zero 0yzcI and consequently, the centroidal

coordinate system axes coincide with the principal axes of inertia. This conclusion is misleading. In fact, one can easily observe that the

is concluded that any pair of orthogonal diameters can identify themselves with the principal directions.

A. General Observations A1. The cross-section, shown in Figure 2.2.21.a, is composed from two structural shapes, an I36 and a plate 130mmx25mm, called SHAPE1 and SHAPE2 (Figure 2.2.21.b). The geometrical characteristics of the I36 are obtained from Appendix 2.2, Table 2.2.1, while those pertinent to the plate, which is a rectangular shape, are calculated. A.2. The vertical axis of the cross-section is a symmetry axis and consequently, the axes of the centroidal coordinate system identify with the principal directions. A3. The cartesian orthogonal coordinate system 0y0z0 is used as the original

reference coordinate system. B. Calculations B.1 Step 1 - collecting data pertinent to each one of the individual rectangular areas Data pertinent to I36 (area SHAPE1) Note: the local coordinate system 0

A. General Observations A1. The cross-section, shown in Figure 2.2.28.a, is composed from three structural shapes, an U30 a, a plate 150mm x 25mm and an L80x80x10, called SHAPE1, SHAPE2 and SHAPE3, respectively (Figure 2.2.28.b). The geometrical characteristics of both U and L shapes are obtained from Appendix 2.2, Table 2.2.2 and Table 2.2.3, while the geometrical characteristics of the plate are calculated as for a rectangular area.

CHAPTER 3 Equilibrium of Plane Linear Members

3.1 Theoretical Background 3.1.1 Type of Loads, Supports and Reactions The external forces (loads) applied to plane linear beams are described in the

vertical plane of the beam and are classified as:

a. distributed forces acting on a particular segment or the entire length of the beam;

b. concentrated forces acting in a particular point of the beam;

c. distributed moments acting on a particular segment or the entire length of

the beam; d. concentrated moments (couples) acting in a particular point of the beam.

The movement of a point located on the left axis of the beam resulting from the application of forces in the Oxy plane is completely determined by three generalized components: two in-plane translations (displacements) and a rotation. The two displacements are chosen, for convenience, in the directions ox and oy of the coordinates system attached to the beam, while the rotation is described by the angular motion about an axis parallel to the oz axis located at the point of interest (normal to the plane of the definition plane). The forces and moments resulting from the constraints induced by the existence of supports, accordingly with the Newton’s First Law, are called reactions. By constraining the free movement of the material point three types of supports are created:

a. the roller support prevents the displacement in the direction normal to the rolling plane and is replaced in the free-body diagram by a corresponding reaction represented by a concentrated force as shown for case1 of Table 3.1. A similar case is that of a supporting cable illustrated in case 2 of Table 3.1;

b. the pined (clamped) support impedes both translational displacement in

the beam description plane and is replaced in the free-body diagram by a reaction, commonly represented by two orthogonal concentrated force components as depicted in case 3 of Table 3.1;

c. the fixed support completely prevents all translational displacement and

rotation in the beam definition plane and is replaced in the free-body

Page 106: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 119 -

diagram by a set of reactions commonly represented by two orthogonal concentrated force components and a concentrated moment as depicted in case 4 of Table 3.1.

Table 3.1 Plan Supports and Reactions

The drawing of the beam containing the exterior loads and the reaction forces obtained by replacing the supports with their corresponding reaction forces is called the free-body diagram of the beam. If the number of unknown reactions is equal to the number of independent equilibrium equations the beam is a statically determinate beam. If the number of unknown reactions is larger than three the beam is called statically indeterminate beam. Only the statically determinate beams are treated in this chapter. 3.1.2 Cross-Sectional Internal Resultants In general there are six (6) internal resultants, )(xF , )(xVy , )(xVz , )(xT ,

)(xM y and )(xM z , are present in the cross-section. They are illustrated in Figure 3.1.a.

(a) (b)

Figure 3.1

(a) Three-dimensional case and (b) Loads in Oxy plane

Page 107: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 120 -

If the loads are acting in the vertical planeOxy , only three internal resultants, )(xF ,

)(xVy and )(xMz have values different than zero. In order to simplify the notation the subscript indices are dropped and the internal resultants are noted as: )(xF ,

)(xV and )(xM . This is the case illustrated in Figure 3.1.b. 3.1.3 Types of Statically Determinate Beams In the technical language employed by structural engineers, beams are identified by the manner in which they are supported. Types of beams studied in the present chapter are:

a. cantilevered beam, shown in Figure 3.2, has only one end, point C, constrained against movement in both, horizontal and vertical, directions and against the rotation around an axis parallel to the oz axis

b. simply supported beam, shown in Figure 3.3, has one end, point A, constrained only in the vertical direction by a roller support, while the other end, point B, is constrained in both vertical and horizontal directions by a pined support or clamped support;;

c. beam with overhang, shown in Figure 3.4, is a simply supported type beam which has cantilevers located at one or both ends

Figure 3.2 Cantilevered Beam

Figure 3.3 Simply Supported Beam

Page 108: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 121 -

Figure 3.4 Beam with Overhang

3.1.4 Method 1 - Calculation of the Internal Resultants Using Method of Sections The calculation is conducted as: Step 1. The beam is first conceptually freed of constraints and then, the corresponding reactions, as described in the previous section. At this point, the schematic diagram containing only the externally applied forces and reaction forces is identified. This way the free-body diagram is constructed; Step 2. Using this diagram the equations of equilibrium (3.1) of the entire beam are written as:

0 xF 0 yF 0O

zM (3.1)

Note: Only the number of equilibrium equations is fixed at three, but the way to write these equations is of personal preference. Step 3. The linear algebraic system is solved and the three unknown reaction forces are calculated. Step 4. After the reactions have been calculated, the beam is conceptually sectioned, as by a cutting-plane coincidental with a cross-section located at distance Cx from the origin point. This separation operation is called the method of sections. To maintain intact the equilibrium of the two separated parts, the corresponding internal resultants are introduced and two free-body diagrams are obtained. Writing the equilibrium of one of the two previously obtained free-body diagrams the internal resultants are obtained.

0 xF 0 yF 0C

zM (3.2)

Note: the sectioning of the beam is repeated as many times it is necessary to calculate a meaningful set of values for the internal resultants and define their variation along the length of the beam.

Page 109: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 122 -

Step 5. Using the sign convention described below the graphs representing the internal resultants are plotted. The sign convention for the cross-section internal resultants, illustrated in Figure 3.5, is stated as:

1. the positive shear force,V , acts in the negative direction of the oy axis at the face x of the cross-section;

2. the positive bending moment, M , makes the face y of the beam

concave.

Figure 3.5 Sign Convention for Internal Resultants

Note: the variation of the internal resultant plotted in-between the cross-sections calculated is unknown and for practical reason is considered linear. For this reason, in order to obtain a variation closed to the real one, the number of cross-sections use in the calculation has to be judiciously chosen or the variation judged using other method. This method is not used for practical applications. 3.1.5 Method 2 - Differential Relations between Loads and Cross-Section Internal

Resultants The free-body diagram concept will be extended to write the equilibrium of the elementary volume around a point of the beam. The free-body diagram of the elementary volume is shown in Figure 3.6.

Figure 3.6 Equilibrium of Elementary Beam Volume

Page 110: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 123 -

The external forces acting on the elementary volume are considered to be uniformly distributed, their variation being small enough to be neglected over the short length

x quantity. These are represented by two distributed forces, )(xpn and )(xpt , and a distributed moment )(xm , all acting in the positive sense relative to the respective axes. The sign convention for the external loads is: 1. the positive tangential distributed and concentrated loads on the beam

longitudinal axis ox act in the positive direction of ox axis; 2. the positive normal distributed and concentrated loads on the beam

longitudinal axis ox act in the positive direction of oy axis; 3. the positive distributed and concentrated bending moments act in the positive

direction of the oz axis according to the right-hand rule. The differential relations between external loads and cross-sectional internal resultants are:

)(xpdxdF

t (3.3)

)(xpdxdV

n (3.4)

)()( xmxVdxdM

(3.5)

If the differential equations (3.3), (3.4) and (3.5) are integrated and the initial boundary conditions at 0x are enforced, the following expressions are obtained:

dxxpFxF t *)()( 0 (3.6)

dxxpVxV n *)()( 0 (3.7)

dxxmdxxVMxM *)(*)()( 0 (3.8)

Note: From equations (3.6) through (3.8) important practical conclusions are

derived:

(a) the loading functions )(xpn , )(xpt and )(xm must be continuous functions on finite-intervals for the integration to be possible;

Page 111: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- 124 -

(b) the cross-sections where concentrated forces and moments are acting represent discontinuity points. Those cases are treated as limiting cases of the expressions obtained above;

(c) the integrals in equations (3.6) and (3.7) represent the area contained under the

loading curve over the length of the integration interval. The shear force related integral in equation (3.8) represents the area contained under the shear force curve over the length of the integration interval;

(d) values representing the boundary conditions of the cross-section internal

resultants at the beginning of the integration interval must be known in order to evaluate the cross-sectional internal resultants on that interval.

The integrals contained in the equations (3.6) through (3.8) can be evaluated if the load variation is established. Table 3.2 contains the most simple, but frequently used variations. Table 3.2 Variation of the Shear Force and Bending Moment

The following steps are required to construct de cross-sectional internal resultants graphs using the differential equations (3.4) trough (3.6): Step 1, 2 and 3 are identical to these used in the first method. Step 4. The beam length is divided in continuity intervals following the variation of the load. The discontinuity points, where the concentrated moments and forces are located, are also identified. Step 5. Starting with the first interval from the left end of the beam, one integrates the differential equations (3.4) through (3.6) to the particular variation of the load characterizing that particular interval of continuity. This way the internal resultants and their variation are obtained. The operation is repeated for all established continuity intervals. Step 6. The calculated values and the knowledge of their variation provide enough information for the plotting of the internal resultant graphical representation (diagrams).

3.2 Solved Problems Problem 3.2.1- Cantilevered Beam Calculate and draw the shear force and moment diagram for the plane beam loaded as shown in Figure 3.2.1.a.

Figure 3.2.1.a

A. General Observations A.1. A number of four (4) cross-sections define the variation of the loading, the continuity intervals, along the entire length of the beam. They are located at the following positions: x1 0 m x2 1 m x3 2 m x4 4 m measured from the fixed end of the cantilever. A.2 The existence of the reactions at point 1, the fixed end of the cantilever, identifies that point as a point of discontinuity. Also, in a similar situation, a discontinuity point, is the point where the concentrated force P is located. A.3. The external system of forces acting in the vertical plane of the beam, is composed from a concentrated force P 4000 N and an uniformly distributed

force q 3000Nm

.

B. Calculations B.1. Construction of the free-body diagram (Figure 3.2.1.b) The fixed support placed at the left end of the beam is replaced with two concentrated reaction forces, one horizontal, 1F , and one vertical, 1V , and one concentrated moment,

1M . The reaction forces and moment are illustrated in Figure 3.2.1.b and together with the external loading system represent the free-body diagram corresponding to the cantilevered beam.

A. General Observations A.1. Analyzing the variation of the shear force diagram illustrated in Figure 3.2.4.a, it is observed that three (3) intervals of continuity are found. They are described by four (4) sections located at distances:

B. Calculations B.1 Free-Body Diagram Following the reasoning described in the paragraph A.2 can be concluded the following: (a) in point 1 acts a concentrated vertical force kNP 181 . The force is positive orientated; (b) in point 3 operates a negative orientated vertical force kNP 183 and (c) in point 4 a positive orientated vertical force kNP 184 is found. Note: These conclusions can be made also by interpreting the equation (3.7). The construction of the free-body diagram is made in the following manner: - a positive orientated concentrated force kNP 181 is placed in 1; - the variation of the shear force in the interval 1_right to 2 is linear indicating

the existence of a constant loading in this interval (see Table 3.2). Because the value of the shear force decreases towards point 2, the uniform distributed force is negative orientated. The magnitude of the distributed force is calculated by writing the value of the shear force in point 2:

03*180)(* 1212 qxxqVV right kNq 6

- the shear force has zero magnitude in the interval 2 to 3_left, indicating that there is not any distributed load in this interval;

- a negative concentrated force kNP 183 acts in point 2; - the shear force is constant in the interval 3_right to 4, and consequently, no

distributed force acts in this interval;

Page 134: Simulescu Student Workbook VOL1.pdf

- a concentrated positive orientated force kNP 184 is attached to point 4. The free-body diagram is illustrated in Figure 3.2.4.c

The concentrated forces are future candidates to be reaction forces. Two configurations illustrated in Figures 3.2.4.e and 3.2.4.f are yielding similar shear force and bending moment diagrams.

CHAPTER 4 Axial Deformation 4.1 Theoretical Background 4.1.1 Basic Theory of Axial Deformation Definition 4.1 A plane linear member, when subjected to exterior loads and/or change of temperature, undergoes an axial deformation if after the deformation:

(a) the axis of the member remains straight; (b) the cross-sections remain plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis

of the beam and do not rotate about the same longitudinal axis after the deformation.

Equilibrium Equation

Figure 4.1 Equilibrium of an Elementary Beam Volume

The differential relation between the exterior load and the axial internal resultant is obtained from the equilibrium of the elementary volume:

)()( xpdx

xdFt (4.1)

where )( xp t is the distributed loading parallel to the beam longitudinal axis and

)(xF is the axial stress resultant .

Integrating equation (4.1) the stress resultant force )(xF in a particular cross-section is calculated as:

where L is the total length of the bar. Constitutive Equation The constitutive equation reflects the relation between the stress and the strain. If the linear elastic material behavior is considered, applying the Hook’s Law, the relation between the normal stress ),,( zyxx and extension strain )(xx is written:

)(*),,(),,( xzyxEzyx xx (4.10) where E is the modulus of elasticity and is obtained performing tensile tests. Considering the assumption that the cross-section of the bar is a small surface, the variation of the modulus of elasticity ),,( zyxE is negligible on this surface, and consequently, the constitutive equation (4.10) is expressed as: )(*)()( xxEx xx (4.11) Note: equation (4.11) implies that the normal stress )(xx varies only along the length of the member, but has a constant value on the entire cross-section. The representation of the normal stress )(xx is shown in Figure 4.2.

Note: equation (4.11) implies that the normal stress )(xx varies only along the length of the member, but has a constant value on the entire cross-section. The rest of the stress tensor T components are zero:

If the axes oy and oz of the coordinate system intersect such that the x axis passes through the cross-section centroid, the static moments yS and zS are zero and the axial force )(xF remains the only non-zero stress resultant:

)(*)( *)( *)()( xAxdAxdAxxF xA

)()()(

xAxFxx (4.21)

Note: It is concluded that a beam made from a linear elastic material undergoes an axial deformation if the axial force passes through the cross-section centroid.

Thermal Effects on Axial Deformation The thermal strain was introduced as:

TT * (4.22) where is the thermal expansion coefficient and T is the change in the member temperature. The total elongation strain is the sum of the elongation strain induced by the exterior load action and thermal effects and is expressed as:

4.1.3 Nonuniform-Axial Deformation If any one of the assumptions contained in definition 4.2 is violated the axial deformation is called nonuniform-axial deformation. The most common cases of nonuniform-axial deformation are: Member with non-homogeneous cross-section; Member with variable Cross-Section; Member loaded along its length. The formulae described in the section 4.1.1 have to be adapted function of the situation. 4.1.4 Verification of the Members Subjected to Axial Deformation The design formula used is the relationship between maximum normal stress max and the allowable normal stress all : all max (4.34) The formula (4.34) was used for a long period of time in a procedure known as the allowable-stress design. Due to the simplicity of application, this method is still commonly used in United States for the design of steel structures. The allowable normal stress all is defined by limiting the value of the normal stress in the axially deformed member. Dividing the yield stress Y pertinent to the material subjected to axial deformation by a safety factor SF the allowable axial stress is calculated:

The safety factor is greater than one, usually taking values between 2 and 3. The yield stress for different materials is found in Appendix 1.2. 4.2 Solved Problems Problem 4.2.1 A solid brass rod AB and a solid aluminum rod BC are connected together by a rigid coupler of negligible length at B as shown in Figure 4.2.1.a. The diameters and the modulus of elasticity of the two segments are d1 = 65 mm, d2 = 50 mm, E1 = 105 GPa and E1 = 69 GPa, respectively. The system is loaded by two concentrated loads,

kNP B 180 and kNP C 45 , acting along the centroidal line of the system at point B and C , respectively . Calculate the axial stress existing in the two rods and the displacement at point B and C. Verify the rod segments.
