• Shear force, V
– Shear force lies in the plane of the area.
– Developed when the external loads tend to
cause the two segments of the body to slide.
Type of forces
• Torque or torsional moment, T
- Developed when the external loads tend to
twist one segments of the body with respect
to the other.
• Bending moment, M
- Cause by the external loads that tend to
bend the body about an axis within the
plane of the area.
Stresses
• Stress is the internal force exerted by one part of
an elastic body upon the adjoining part.

Type of stress
• Type of stress
– Normal stress or uniaxial stress, σ - stress is
evenly distributed over the entire cross-section.
• Normal stress includes tensile and compressive

Type of stress: Bearing Stress
Bearing stress, τ – Bearing stress is a type of normal stress but it
involves the interaction of two surfaces. The bearing stress is the
pressure experience by the second surface due to the action
from the first surface. Example: the pressure between bolt and
plate at a joint.

Strain
• Measure of deformation representing the displacement
between particles in the body relative to a reference length.
• Ratio of change in length due to deformation to the original
length.
• It is dimensionless quantity.
• Numerical values of strain are usually very small, especially for
structural materials, which ordinarily undergo only small
changes in dimensions.
Types of Strain
• Normal strain - Normal strain (ε) is the deformation of
a body which involved elongation or contraction.
• When a bar of length L and cross-sectional area A is
subjected to axial tensile force P through the cross-
section's centroid, the bar elongates.
• The change in length divided by the initial length is the
bar's engineering strain. The symbol for strain is ε (epsilon).
The strain in an axially loaded bar is:
L
Types of Strain
• Shear strain - Shear strain is a strain which involved a
shear deformation i.e. body twist due to torsion and
a distorted cuboid as shown in Figure 1.8. Strain
changes the angles of an object and shear causes
lines to rotate.

element as shown in Fig. Represent this stress state in terms of
maximum in-plane shear stress and associated average normal
