Mass, Force and Weight
• Mass refers to the amount of

the substance in a body
• Force is a push or pull e ort

exerted on a body either by an
external source or by gravity
• Weight is the force of

gravitational pull on a body
ff
Density and Specific Weight
Speci c weight is the amount of

Density is the amount of mass
weight per unit volume of a

fi
Stress
De nition
• The study of strength of materials

depends on an understanding of the
principles of stress and strain
produced by applied loads on a
structure or a machine
• Stress is the internal resistance

o ered by a unit area of the material
from which a member is made to an
externally applied load
• Uniformly distributed stress: the same

magnitude at any point in the cross
section
• Uneven distributed stress: di erent

magnitudes at di erent points in the
cross section

Strain
De nition
• Strain is the deformation per unit length of the member, also known as “unit
deformation”
• Deformation can be a result of applied loads or temperature changes
• Strain is dimensionless, but it can be reported as in/in or mm/mm to re ect

deformation per unit length
• Stress - strain relationship follows Hooke’s law in elastic material
• E is the sti ness of material or modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus

Why?
Direct Normal Stress
De nition
• Normal stress (σ): perpendicular, or normal, to the cross

section of the load-carrying member.
• One of the most fundamental types of stress
• If the stress is uniform across the resisting area, the stress is

called a “direct normal stress”.
fi
Compressive and Tensile Stress
Compressive stress: tends to Tensile stress: tends to pull

crush the material and the material apart and stretch
shorten the member the member
Example Problem
Problem:
Two circular rods carrying a

casting weighing 11.2 kN. If each
rod is 12.0 mm in diameter and
the two rods share the load
equally, compute the stress in the
rods
Solution:
Objective: Compute the stress in

the support rods
Given: Casting weighs 11.2 kN.

Each rod carries half the load. 
Rod diameter = D = 12.0 mm
Analysis: Direct tensile stress is

produced in each rod
Example Problem
Problem:
Compute the stress in the square shaft at the

upper part of the stand for a load of 27 500
lb. The line of action of the applied load is
centered on the axis on the shaft, and the
load is applied through a thick plate that
distributes the force to the entire cross
section of the stand.
Solution:
Objective: Compute the stress in the upper

part of the stand.
Given: Load = F = 27 500 lb; load is centered

on the stand. 
The cross section is square; the dimension of
each side is 1.50 in
Analysis: Internal resisting force that acts

upward to balance the downward applied
load on any cross section. 
Uniformly distributed internal force. 
Compressive stress.
Stress Elements
• In nitesimal element inside the member: cube (3D) or square (2D)
• A net force acting on the top and bottom faces of the cube
• Consider the faces to be unit areas: forces ~ stresses
• Equilibrium element: stresses on the top and the bottom are the
same
fi
Direct Shear Stress
De nition
• Shear stress or tangential stress (τ): parallel (tangential) to the

cross section of the load-carrying member
• Causes layers or parts to slide upon each other in opposite

directions
• Example: the force of two connecting rocks rubbing in opposite

directions
• A uniform level of shearing force across the entire area being

sheared: direct shear stress

Problem: Solution:

material if a force of 1250 lb is

applied through the punch. The Given: F = 1250 lb; t = 0.040 in.
thickness of the material is 0.040 in.

Analysis: The sides of slug are placed in
direct shear resisting the applied force.
Note:
• A punching operation: the objective is

to actually cut one part of the material
from the other
• The punching action produces a slot in

the at sheet metal. The part removed
in the operation is sometimes called a
“slug”
• The shearing action occurs along the

sides of the slug, shown in blue

Example of Direct Shear Stress
Single Shear
Problem: Solution:
Objective: Compute the shear stress in the

The force on the link in the simple pin.
pin joint is 3550 N. If the pin has Given: F = 3550 N; D = 10.0 mm
a diameter of 10.0 mm, compute

the shear stress in the pin. Analysis: The pin is in direct shear with one
cross section of the pin resisting all of the
applied force (single shear).
Note:
• A pin or a rivet is often inserted into a

cylindrical hole through mating parts to
connect them.
• When forces are applied perpendicular

to the axis of the pin, there is the
tendency to cut the pin across its cross
section, producing a shear stress
• A single cross section of the pin resists

the applied shearing force
Double Shear
Problem (homework):
The force on the link in the double

pin joint is 3550 N. If the pin has a
diameter of 10.0 mm, compute
the shear stress in the pin.
Note:
• In this design, there are two

cross sections to resist the
applied force
• The pin is in double shear

Keys
• Application of shear in mechanical
drives: a power transmitting element,
such as a gear, chain sprocket, or
belt pulley, is placed on a shaft, a
key is often used to connect the two
and permit the transmission of
torque from one to the other.
• The torque produces a tangential

force at the interface between the
shaft and the inside of the hub of the
mating element.
Problem (homework):
If a torque of 1500 lb·in. is transmitted

from the shaft to the hub, compute the
shear stress in the key. For the
dimensions of the key, use L = 0.75 in.; h
= b = 0.25 in. The diameter of the shaft is
1.25 in.
Direct Shear Stress
Stress Elements
• In nitesimal element inside the member: cube (3D) or square (2D)
• The shear stresses acting parallel to the surfaces of the cube
• Equilibrium element: stresses on the top and the bottom are the
same
• To balance the rotation: a pair of equal shear stresses is

developed on the vertical sides of the stress element
fi
Experimental and Computational Analysis
Three methods of structural analysis:
• Analytical analysis: exact solution, but di cult in complex

structures
• Experimental analysis: practical solution, required equipment
• Computational analysis: approximation solution
Question: Which method is preferred?

Experimental Analysis
Photoelastic stress analysis
• Photoelasticity describes changes
in the optical properties of a
material under mechanical
deformation. It is a property of all
dielectric media and is often
used to experimentally determine
the stress distribution in a
material, where it gives a picture
of stress distributions around
discontinuities in materials.
• The material is typically a

transparent plastic that is
illuminated while being loaded.
• In complex structures:

Experimental Analysis
Strain Gage
• Electrical resistance strain
gage: very thin metal foil grid
made from a strain- sensitive
material, such as constantan,
with an insulating backing
• The gage is carefully applied

with a special adhesive to the
surface of the component
where critical stresses are
likely to occur.
• When the component is

loaded, the gage experiences
the same strains as the
surface. The resistance of the
gage changes in proportion to
the applied strain
Computational analysis
Finite Element Analysis
• 3D/2D modeling by CAD
• Dividing the body into

small elements
• Loads, boundary
conditions, material
properties
• Various software available
