MODULE

1 Stress, strain and tensile testing of


materials

By the end of this module, students should be able to:


• name the three different types of stresses;
• calculate direct and shear stresses;
• explain what strain is and calculate it;
• explain what modulus of elasticity is and calculate it;
• calculate the change in length, final length and percentage change in
length of the bar;
• draw a stress-strain graph and use it to obtain information about a
material;
• draw a force-extension graph or a stress-strain graph and use it to
calculate Young’s modulus for a material;
• calculate stresses for different materials connected in parallel, including
pipe with threaded bar and nut;
• calculate stresses when different materials are connected in series;
• calculate change in length of each material; and
• calculate the final length of a compound bar.

Machine parts and members of structures are always subjected to loads, which
cause stress in the parts or members. Due to the load on these parts and
members there will be a change in length, which will cause strain in the parts
and members.

Divide each force by the area to obtain stress for each force.
• To calculate the strain, use calculator and divide the extension by the
gauge length for each extension (both can be in mm, not to change to
m – keep the units the same, m or mm).
19.1 Proportional limit is the point on a stress-strain curve where the
linear, elastic deformation region transitions into a non-linear, plastic
deformation region.
19.2 Tensile strength is the maximum stress caused by the maximum load
before the material fractures.
19.3 The modulus of elasticity is the property of a material that indicates
how easily it can stretch and deform.
20. Any three of the following:
• Compressive
• Tensile
• Torsion
• Shear force
21. 21.1 Stress is the ability of an object to resist the effects of an external force.
21.2 Strain is the deformation of an object due to an internal state of stress.
se 1.2
22. Hooke’s law states that strain is directly proportional to the stress that
causes it.

MODULE

2 Strain energy
By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• explain what strain energy is and how to calculate it;
• express strain energy in terms of force and stress;
• explain what gradually applied load is;
• calculate strain energy when load is gradually applied (single and
compound bars);
• explain what suddenly applied load is;
• calculate strain energy when a sudden load is applied (single and
compound bars);
• explain what a shock load is;
• calculate strain energy when a shock load is applied (single and
compound bars); and
• calculate the height a load may fall in order not to exceed the stress limit.

When a member is subjected to an axial force, the dimensions will change and
this means that the member will extend or shorten. That means that the force
had moved a distance and an amount of work was done. Energy is then stored in
the member, which is called strain energy.

MODULE

3 Temperature‑induced stresses
By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• calculate change in length due to temperature for different materials (free
expansion or contraction);
• calculate stresses due to temperature rise or cooling for different materials
connected in series and then prevented to expand or contract;
• calculate stresses due to temperature rise or cooling for different materials
connected in parallel, including a pipe with a threaded bar and nut;
• calculate the final length of a compound bar;
• calculate resultant stresses due to temperature and external forces when
materials are connected in parallel or series;
• calculate the resultant change in length of a compound bar; and
• calculate the final length of a compound bar.

Compound bars are bars that most often consist of two different materials of
which the strengths are different. These kinds of bars are found in construction
and machine members, and we must be aware of the effects on these bars when
they are subjected to loads and temperature changes.

Exercise 3.1 SB page 92

Important
A sketch of the question must be made for the temperature question that will
solve 90% of the problem.

4 Thin cylinders and Mohr’s circle


By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• calculate circumferential stress in a thin cylinder when it is subjected to
internal pressure;
• calculate longitudinal stress in a cylinder when it is subjected to internal
pressure;
• calculate theoretical thickness or diameter of a cylinder when longitudinal
and circumferential efficiency is involved;
• calculate longitudinal strain in a thin cylinder when it is subjected to
internal pressure;
• calculate the circumferential strain in a thin cylinder when it is subjected
to internal pressure;
• calculate volumetric strain in a thin cylinder when it is subjected to
internal pressure;
• construct Mohr’s stress circle when given stresses in the x- and y-planes in
order to determine the stresses in a different plane.

In industry, we work with vessels under pressure every day, so it is important the
we know how to calculate the safety conditions for these vessels.

5 Simple bending of beams


By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• use the simple bending equation;
• use bending moment formulae for standard beams;
• calculate the maximum moment of resistance for simply supported beams
and cantilevers supporting a maximum of one uniformly distributed load
(UDL) and one point load only;
• calculate position and value of maximum bending moment for simply
supported beams supporting UDL over full length, plus an eccentric
point load;
• calculate centroid position (neutral axis) for standard and built-up beams
under pure bending;
• calculate the second moment of area about both axes for standard and
built-up beams;
• calculate maximum and minimum stresses for built-up beams;
• sketch a stress distribution diagram to indicate the position of the neutral
axis;
• select information for standard steel sections from section tables;
• select suitable standard profiles from section tables using a section
modulus with the bending stress limit given;
• calculate maximum and minimum stresses in standard profiles from
section tables;
• calculate the centroid position (neutral axis) for standard and built-up
beams under pure bending;
• calculate the second moment of area about both axes for standard and
built-up beams;
• calculate maximum and minimum stresses for built-up beams; and
• sketch a stress distribution diagram to indicate the position of the neutral
axis.
Module 5 • Simple bending of beams 75

The critical point on a beam will be the point of failure, which is at the point of
maximum bending moment.
The point of maximum bending moment is the point where the stress will be at
its maximum and, for the beam to be safe, the stress must be in the elastic limit
of theModule
material.

MODULE

6 Columns and struts


By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• differentiate between columns and struts;
• define the term effective length;
• calculate the effective length for both pinned ends, both fixed ends, one
end pinned and one end fixed, as well as one end fixed and the other
end free;
• calculate the slenderness ratio; and
• calculate buckling loads using Euler’s theory as well as Rankine’s theory.

Columns and struts are integral components of many structures. Like all
structural members that are subjected to various loads and forces, this module
covers the ways in which members, and particularly columns and struts, may fail
by buckling and how
Module 6 Exercise 6.1to incorporate buckling load and failure theory into your
calculations to prevent failure.

MODULE

7 Shafts
By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• explain the two critical limits that must be considered when designing
shafts, namely the shear stress limit and the twisting angle limit;
• apply torque and power equations;
• calculate maximum torque when starting torque is not considered;
• calculate maximum torque when starting torque is considered as a
percentage of the average torque;
• calculate the dimensions of solid and hollow shafts when a stress limit or
twisting angle limit is given;
• calculate the percentage saving in weight if a solid shaft is replaced by a
hollow shaft for the same shear stress limit; and
• do calculations on compound shafts connected in series and parallel.

When shafts are subjected to a twisting moment or torque about the longitudinal
axis, the shaft is subjected to pure or simple torsion.

8 Structural frameworks
By the end of this module, students should be able to:
• explain the rules for statically determinate plane frameworks;
• differentiate between a tie and a strut;
• apply mathematical triangles;
• apply the equilibrium law;
• calculate reactions at the supports of structural frameworks with vertical
loads;
• calculate reactions at the supports of structural frameworks with vertical
as well as horizontal loads or angled loads with one of the supports on
rollers;
• draw a space diagram of the framework to scale;
• draw a vector diagram to scale and graphically determine forces in simply
supported structural frameworks or cantilevers; and
• tell whether a member is a strut or a tie.

A structural framework is a system of three or more straight members capable


of transmitting structural loads. These frameworks can be simple or complex
systems. The frameworks we are going to discuss all lie in the same plane and
will not be three-dimensional.

Glossary

A
Abscissa – the horizontal or x-coordinate within the Cartesian coordinate system
Angle of distortion – represented by the angle delta (δ)
Angle of twist – the angular deformation in an object due to twisting torques applied

B
Bending stress – when two or more forces work against one or more forces opposing
them. The forces are far enough apart that bending rather than shearing occurs
Bow’s notation – a method of lettering the cells and outside spaces formed by the
directions of the loads on a framed structure so that these loads can be traced by similar
letters in the reciprocal diagram
Bush – a type of bearing fixed between two parts (which may be moving) or a
strengthened point for mechanical fixing

D
Diametral – of, relating to or measured across a diameter

E
Effective length – the length between two points of inflection on a buckled member

F
Factor of safety (FoS) – that which allows a safe margin for possible defects in the
manufacturing of components and also gives a safe margin in the case of unexpected
overloading or the deterioration of the material due to rust

H
Homogeneous – the nature of a material that has properties that do not vary depending
on the location
Hooke’s law – strain is directly proportional to the stress that causes it
Hoop stress – the stress in the circumferential (tangential) direction in cylindrical and
non-cylindrical vessels when loaded by internal or external pressure in a closed vessel
Hot-rolled press – a metalworking process wherein metals are processed (heated at high
temperatures and cooled down) to reproduce specific structures with specific properties

I
Inextensible – unable to stretch or be drawn out (in length)
Isotropic – a material with properties that do not vary when tested in different directions

Modular ratio – the ratio of Young’s modulus of two different materials
Modulus of rigidity – a constant defined by the ratio of shear stress to shear strain
Moment – a force times the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action
Moment of inertia – a measure of a resistance to rotational change, or in this case,

Parabolic – like a parabola
Poisson’s ratio – a constant that relates longitudinal strain in the direction of the load to
lateral strain perpendicular to the load; defines the ratio of how a material will increase
lengthwise and contract width wise when stretched
Polar moment of inertia – a shaft’s resistance to being distorted by torsion as a function
of its shape
Principal stress – the normal stress perpendicular to the plane on which the shear stress
is zero
Proportional limit – the point on a stress-strain curve where the linear, elastic
deformation region transitions into a non-linear, plastic deformation region; the
proportional limit determines the greatest stress that is directly proportional to strain; also
known as limit of proportionality

R
Radian – a unit of plane angular measurement
Radius of gyration – the measure of the elastic stability of a cross section against
buckling, which is calculated using the mass, moment of inertia and perpendicular
distances from the axis of rotation

Sign convention – a way of representing whether something is in compression or tensile,


or displacing upwards or downwards, by assigning a positive or negative symbol
Slenderness – the ratio of the length of a column (L) to the minimum radius of gyration
of the cross section; slenderness is the quality of being thin
Stiffness – the material property of a component based on its ability to bend under load
and still return to its original shape after the load is removed
Strain (ε) – the deformation of an object due to an internal state of stress
Strain energy (U) – energy stored in a body due to a force apply; causes extension or
shorting of the body. Due to this deformation, work is done and energy is stored in the
body, which is called strain energy, expressed in joules

moving in a circle
Torsion – action of twisting an object by applying equal and opposite torque at either end
Transverse – placed across something

Y
Young’s modulus – the property of a material that indicates how easily it can stretch and
deform. It is defined as a constant given the ratio of tensile stress (σ) to tensile strain (ε)
