PREFACE Today, more than ever, engineering applications are often interdisciplinary, involving the interrelationship of the basic engineering sciences (mechanics, metallurgy, chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc.). This is the reason why the modern engineer must have a fundamental knowledge in each of these particular areas. There is no doubt that one of the most important matter within the preparing of the engineering students is represented by the course of Strength of Materials, which is a very important link of this knowledge. Furthermore, for a successful machine or structural design, a thorough mastery of strength of materials is a must. This book is intended to be a basic course of Strength of Materials which to develop in the engineering student the ability to analyze a given problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply to its solutions a few fundamental and wellunderstood principles. But there is also another important reason this book has been written for: to accustom the Romanian engineering students with the main concepts, symbols and trends belonging to the English Engineering Life. As we know, the world of modern science has progressed swiftly across hitherto impossible barriers. There has been more change in the last twenty years than in the previous fifty and more in fifty years than in the previous 200. Never was it more important to have available information on the countless facts of modern scientific knowledge and achievements. Every science-oriented engineer should equip himself with the most up-to-date achievements of science and technique. But for this, he must know the other man’s language. Research people need knowledge of reports and publications in many languages. You can not have a proper access to the impressive quantity of Internet information if you don’t master a foreign language, especially English. The barrier that is set up by a difference in language may constitute a serious obstacle in pure science or in the more practical world of technology. There are three main ways in which scientific information may be acquired: - by adequate translation; - by persuading scientists to publish their work in the better-known languages; - by teaching scientists to read, to write and to speak foreign languages. From these three solutions, the third one is, of course, much more convenient to anyone. Only from the above mentioned ideas one can conclude that it is so important to master a foreign language, especially English which is spread all over the world. Engineering English is no longer a problem nowadays. Every student can easily and rapidly master it, provided he is set on learning it. This is the conclusion to be drawn as far as the difficulties in the search for technical information are concerned. A great philosopher used to say: “ The knowledge of a language is another weapon in life.”
Strength of Materials
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERALITIES During the whole history of the human society, the practical needs have been those which fundamentally contributed to the development of sciences like mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, etc. In the same manner, the Strength of Materials has arisen from the necessity of building safely, economically and aesthetically. Through the ages, the application of materials in engineering design has posed difficult problems to mankind. In the Stone Age the problems were mainly in the shaping of material. In the early days of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age the difficulties were both in production and shaping. For many centuries metal-working was laborious and extremely costly. Estimates go that the equipment of a knight and horse in the thirteenth century was of the equivalent price of a Centurion tank in Word War II. With the improving skill of metal working, applications of metals in structure increased progressively. Then it was experienced that structures built of these materials did not always behave satisfactorily and unexpected failures often occurred. Detailed descriptions of castings and forgins produced in the Middle Age exist. When judged with present day knowledge, this production methods must have been liable to build important technical deficiencies into the structures. The vastly increasing use of metals in the nineteenth century caused the number of accidents and casualties to reach unknown levels. For example, the number of people killed in railway accidents in Great Britain was in the order of two hundred per year during the decade 1860-1870. Most of the accidents were a result of derailing caused by fractures of wheels, axles or rails. Most of these accidents were certainly due to a poor design, which mainly means a poor understanding and use of Strength of Materials, when design a certain mechanical structure. Within the context of modern engineering design, Strength of Materials has continued to occupy a very important place, providing a useful and necessary tool in understanding the behaviour of certain mechanical structures subjected to external loads.
1.2 THE OBJECT AND PROBLEMS OF STRENGTH OF MATERIALS. CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER ENGINEERING SCIENCES Three fundamental areas of engineering mechanics are statics, dynamics and strength of materials. While statics and dynamics are devoted primarily to the study of the external effects of forces on rigid bodies (i.e. bodies which do not deform 2
Introduction
under the action of the external loads), strength of materials deals with the relations between externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies. Moreover, the bodies are no longer assumed to be rigid; the deformations, however small, are of major interest. In mechanical design, the engineer must consider both dimensions and material properties to satisfy requirements of strength and rigidity. When loaded, a machine component or structure should neither break nor deform excessively. Let us now consider for example a body subjected to several external loads (forces and couples) – Fig.1.1. Before the action of the loads, one can find a certain state inside the body. But, due to the action of the external loads, the mechanical state inside the body will change. Each particular point of the involved body “feels” in a certain way the action of the external loads, depending upon the position of the point inside the body and the physical nature of the material at that level. Within the above mentioned context Strength of Materials tries to offer reasonable answers to some Fig. 1.1 important questions such as: - what does a certain point of the body “feel” if the external loads act? - how does the involved body deform under the action of the external loads? - which are the mathematical connections between the mechanical effects occured at the level of the points of the body and the values of the external loads? - which are the critical values of the external loads for which the body fails or deforms excessively ? These are only some matters Strength of Materials is concerning with. In its obvious intention to give valuable answers to the above mentioned questions, Strength of Materials has ordered its problems in three important classes: Dimensioning problems: - input data : values and physical nature of the external loads; geometry of the body; mechanical properties of the material the body is made of; - output data : the required dimensions so that the body would not fail or deform excessively. Determination of the allowable external loads: - input data: body dimensions and geometry; mechanical properties of the material; - output data: the maximum allowable values of the external loads so that the body would not fail or deform excessively. 3
Strength of Materials
Checking problems: - input data : body dimensions and geometry; mechanical properties of the material; external loads values and orientation; - output data : a checking calculus which to conclude if the involved body would fail or not within such conditions. Strength of Materials provides the engineers with the mathematical means of getting inside the bodies, of understanding the intimate behavior of matter, in order to give valuable answers to the questions mentioned above. As a branch of science, Strength of Materials belongs to the Mechanics of Solid Deformable Bodies together with: The Theory of Elasticity, Theory of Plasticity and Statics, Dynamics and Stability of Constructions. Although the Theories of Elasticity and Plasticity concern with the same problems as Strength of Materials, they use only a limited number hypothesis (assumptions), are much more exact but, many times, exceedingly complicated. The Theories of Elasticity and Plasticity use complex mathematical tools, in many cases less adequate to the engineering applications. On the contrary, Strength of Materials uses a large number of theoretical simplifying hypothesis, approximations and experimental analysis methods, providing a useful tool for immediate engineering applications. Through its practical and theoretical investigations Strength of Materials interferes with a lot of fundamental sciences such as: mathematics, physics, technology, chemistry, etc. even with biology, proving again – if it is still the case – the absence of once called hard lines between the sciences.
1.3 A SHORT REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF STRENGTH OF MATERIALS From the earliest times when people started to build, it was found necessary to have information regarding the strength of materials so that rules for determining safe dimensions of different bodies or structural elements could be experienced. No doubt the Egyptians had some empirical rules of this kind, for without them it would have been impossible to erect their monuments, temples, pyramids and obelisks, some of which still exist. The Greeks further advanced the art of building. They developed statics, which underlies the mechanics of materials. Archimedes (287-212 B.C.) gave a rigorous proof of the conditions of equilibrium of a lever and outlined methods of determining centers of gravity of bodies. He used his theory in the construction of various hoisting devices. The Romans were great builders. Not only some of their monuments and temples remain, but also roads, bridges and fortifications. We know something of their building methods from the book of Vitruvius, a famous Roman architect and engineer of the time of Emperor Augustus. Most of the knowledge that the Greeks and Romans accumulated in the way of 4
Introduction
structural engineering was lost during the Middle Ages and only since the Renaissance has it been recovered. Thus when the famous Italian architect Fontana (1543-1607) erected the Vatican obelisk at the order of Pope Sixtus V, this work attracted wide attention from European engineers. But we know that the Egyptians had raised several such obelisks thousands of years previously, after cutting stone from the quarries of Syene and transporting it on the Nile. Indeed, the Romans had carried some of the Egyptians obelisks from their original sites and erected them in Rome; thus it seems that the engineers of the sixteenth century were not as well equipped for such difficult tasks as their predecessors. During the Renaissance there was a revival of interest in science and art leaders appeared in the field of architecture and engineering. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a most outstanding man of that period. He was not only the leading artist of his time but also a great scientist and engineer. Leonardo da Vinci was greatly interested in mechanics and, in one of his notes, he states: “Mechanics is the paradise of mathematical science because here we come to the fruits of mathematics.” The first attempts to find the safe dimensions of structural elements analytically were made in the Leonardo da Vinci seventeenth century. Galileo Galilei’s (1564-1642) famous book Two New Sciences shows the writer’s efforts to put the methods applicable in stress analysis into a logical sequence. It represents the beginning of the science of Strength of Materials. In 1678, the paper Of Spring was published, a paper whose author was Robert Hooke (1635-1703). It contains the results of Hooke’s experiments with elastic bodies. This is the first published paper in which the elastic properties of materials are discussed. The linear relation between the force and the deformation is the so-called Hooke’s law, which later on was used as the foundation upon which further development of the Strength of Materials of elastic bodies was built. Bernoulli family produced outstanding mathematicians for more than a hundred years: Jacob, Nicholas, John, Daniel Bernoulli. Besides mathematics these outstanding mathematicians were also attracted by Mechanics and Strength of Materials. Galileo Galilei For example, Daniel Bernoulli was the first to derive the differential equations governing lateral vibrations of prismatic bars, using it to study particular modes of this motion and to John Bernoulli belongs the well-known hypothesis of plane sections for beams in bending. 5
Strength of Materials
Leonard Euler (1707-1783), Daniel Bernoulli’s pupil, was one of the greatest mathematicians of all times. In the field of Strength of Materials he was principally interested in the geometrical forms of elastics curves. His contributions in the buckling phenomenon, for example, is essential.
Daniel Bernoulli Leonard Euler
Navier (1785-1836) published in 1826 the first real book on Strength of Materials where his main achievements in this field were incorporated. If we compare this book with those of the eighteenth century, we clearly see the great progress made in mechanics of materials during the first quarter of the nineteenth. Engineers of the eighteenth century used experiments and theory to establish formulas for the calculation of ultimate loads. Navier, from the very beginning, states that it is very important to know the limit up to which structures behave perfectly elastically and suffer no permanent deformations. Within the elastic range, deformation can be Navier assumed proportional to force and comparatively simple formulas can be established for calculating these quantities. Beyond the elastic limit the relation between forces and deformations becomes very complicated and no simple formulas can be derived for estimating ultimate loads. Navier suggests that the formulas derived for the elastic conditions should be applied to existing structures, which had proved to be sufficiently strong, so that safe stresses for various materials could be determined which later could be used in selecting proper dimensions for new structures. S. D. Poisson (1781-1840) was born in a small town near Paris in a poor family and, until he was fifteen years old, he had no chance to learn more than to read and write. In 1796 he was sent to his uncle at Fountainebleau, and there he was able to visit mathematics classes. His excellent progress made him became in 1812 a member of the French Academy. In the field of Strength of Materials, the principal results obtained by Poisson are incorporated in two memoirs which he published in 6
Introduction
1829 and 1831, and in his course of mechanics (Traité de Mécanique) published in 1833. The two outstanding engineers, G. Lamé (1795-1870) and B.P.E. Clapeyron (1799-1864), graduated from the École Polytechnique of Paris in 1818. They had important contributions to the Strength of Materials within their help offered to the new Russian engineering school of that time – the Institute of Engineers of Ways of Communication in St. Petersburg. This new Russian school was later to have a powerful influence upon the development of engineering science in Russia. Lamé and Clapeyron had to teach applied mathematics and physics in this school and they had also to help with the design of S. D. Poisson various important structures in which the Russian government was interested: for example, several suspension bridges were designed and erected in St. Petersburg at that time. These bridges (constructed between 1824 and 1826) were the first suspension bridges build on the European Continent. After their return to Paris, Lamé and Clapeyron continued their work and, as a recognition of their fundamental contributions within the engineering world, they were elected members of the French Academy of Sciences. Barré de Saint-Venant (1797-1886) was born in the castle de Fortoiseau (Seine – et – Marne). His talent in mathematics was noticed very early and he was given a careful coaching by his father who was G. Lamé a well-known expert in economy. Later he studied at the Lycée of Bruges and in 1813, when sixteen years of age, he entered the École Polytechnique after taking the competitive examinations. Here he showed his outstanding ability and became the first in his class. Unfortunately, the political events of 1814 (when referring to Napoleon, Saint-Venant said : “My conscience forbids me to fight for an usurper.”) forced him to interrupt his academic studies – being proclaimed a deserter and never again allowed to resume his study at the École Polytechnique. After nine years, the government permitted him to enter the École des Ponts et Chaussées without examination. After graduating, he devoted all his life to engineering (especially to Barré de Saint-Venant 7

the Theory of Elasticity and Strength of Materials), in 1868 being elected a member of the Academy of Sciences. D.J. Juravski (1821-1891) graduated in 1842 from the Institute of Engineers of Ways of Communication in St. Pertersburg. His career was closely related with the development of railroad construction in Russia. A. Wöhler (1819-1914) was born in the family of a schoolmaster in the province of Hannover and he received his engineering education at the Hannover Polytechnical Institute. Being an outstanding student, he won a scholarship after his graduation, which enabled him to get a practical training, both at D.J. Juravski the Borsing locomotive works in Berlin and in the construction of the Berlin-Anhalter and Berlin-Hannover railways. In this way he had to solve many problems concerning the mechanical properties of materials and started his famous investigations upon the fatigue strength of metals. It can justly be said that scientific investigation in the field of fatigue of materials began with Wöhler’s work. For each kind of fatigue test, Wöhler designed and built all the necessary machines and measuring instruments. In designing these machines, he imposed stringent requirements upon the accuracy with which forces and deformations were to be measured so that his machines represent an important advance in the technique of structural materials. The above mentioned scientists were only a few of those who fundamentally contributed to the development of Strength of Materials. Of course, there are much more names involved in this problem and it would be unfair if we did not even mention them here: C. A. Coulomb (1736 –1806), Augustin Cauchy A. Wöhler (1789 – 18557), Thomas Young (1773 – 1829), J. C. Maxwell (1831 – 1879), Otto Mohr (1835 – 1918), Alberto Castigliano (1837 – 1884) etc. The Romanian school has also offered excellent researchers and scientists to the Strength of Materials engineering world: C. C. Teodorescu, Gh. Buzdugan, Ştefan Nădăşan, Radu Voinea, D. R. Mocanu, Petre Augustin, etc. Nowadays, the courses of Strength of Materials occupy a fundamental place within the Romanian academic engineering education, with a strong tradition and hope for the future.

Introduction
1.4 BODIES SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION IN STRENGTH OF MATERIALS It is to be recalled from Section 1.2 that the main task of Strength of Materials concerns the mechanical behaviour of different bodies or structural elements subjected to external loads. Within its theoretical and practical investigations, Strength of Materials operates with three important types of bodies: a) Bars: represent those bodies whose length is much greater than the other two dimensions (Fig.1.2). Examples of this class: beams, members, rods, columns, pins, rivets, shafts, etc. Fig. 1.2

The cross section of a bar is defined as the plane section of minimum area obtained through the intersect between the involved bar and a plane passed through the bar at the some arbitrary point. The cross section of a bar has a certain area generally denoted by A [mm2] and may have different geometric shapes (Fig.1.3). The cross section of a bar may be constant or variable, as shown in Fig.1.4. 9

The bar axis is defined as the geometric locus of the cross sections centers of gravity (centroids). It is also called the medium curve. Along its different portions the bar axis may be straight (Fig.1.5a) or curved (Fig.1.5b).

b. Fig. 1.5
In Strength of Materials calculus schemes the bars are usually represented through their longitudinal axes (Fig 1.6). Simplified representation
Fig. 1.6 10
Introduction
It is important to be noted that, in most cases, a bar is geometrically represented within an Oxyz coordinate system, the bar cross section being located in the zOy plane while Ox is the longitudinal axis, i.e. the bar axis or the medium curve. b) Plates: represent those bodies whose two dimensions (length and width) are much greater than the third dimension (thickness), Fig. 1.7.
Fig. 1.7
Fig. 1.8
The midsurface of a plate is defined as the geometric locus of the plate thickness midpoints. Depending upon the shape of the midsurface, the plates may be classified in two important types: plane plates (Fig. 1.7) and curved plates (Fig 1.8).
Fig. 1.9
Fig. 1.10
Depending upon the thickness variation there are two main distinct types of plates: with constant thickness (Fig. 1.9) and with variable thickness (Fig. 1.9). c) Blocks: represent those bodies whose dimensions are of the same size order (Fig 1.10) Although the above classification has been done on geometrical criteria, it does also remain available for Strength of Materials calculus. On the other hand anyone can observe the high variety of the surrounding bodies, objects or structural elements. It is the engineering designers' practical experience which has to choose, for each particular body or structural element, the appropriate class from those presented above. The fundamental Strength of Materials problems, concepts and theories have been constructed on the bars class. Many of these theoretical and practical investigations results have been then extended to the other two classes: plates and blocks. 11
Strength of Materials
1.5 LOADS SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION IN STRENGTH OF MATERIALS CALCULUS Since Strength of Materials deals with the relations between externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies, the clear understanding of the external loads action represents a first and necessary step in the analysis of a given mechanical structure. In fact, a load represents the action of a certain body on another body. It models therefore the interaction between two or more bodies or structural elements. There are two main classes the loads may be classified in: forces and couples (moments of forces). When International System metric units are being used, forces (usually denoted by P or F) are expressed in newtons (N) and couples (moments of forces - usually denoted by M) are expressed in newton-meters (N m). However, when one finds that these units are exceedingly small or big quantities, multiples or submultiples of these units may be also used. Within the framework of different criteria, several specific types of loads have to be differentiated: a) Depending on the size of the interacting bodies contact surface area, we may have: concentrated forces: when the contact surface area may be theoretically reduced to a point, Fig 1.11.
Fig. 1.11
distributed forces: when the interaction of the bodies in contact is transmitted through a surface of a certain area, Fig 1.12.
Fig. 1.12
Furthermore, the forces may be distributed on surfaces (Fig 1.13) or, if a dimension of such surfaces is too small, one can talk about forces distributed on lines, Fig.1.14. 12

The above mentioned concentrated and distributed forces may be encountered in a wide range of practical situations or engineering applications, Fig.1.16.

Introduction
It is to be noted that the moments of forces may be classified in the same manner. b) Depending on the loads variation in time we may have:
constant loads: the loads (P or M) remain constant in time (Fig. 1.17). Fig. 1.17
loads with a periodical variation in time (Fig. 1.18). In such cases the loads do periodically vary in time, between a maximum and a minimum value. Fig. 1.18
loads with a random variation in time (Fig. 1.19).
Fig. 1.19
c) Depending on the time in which a load is applied to a certain body we may have: static loads: which do slowly vary from zero up to the nominal value, remaining then constant in time (Fig. 1.20a).

b. Fig. 1.20

Strength of Materials
dynamic loads: which vary in a very short time from zero up to the maximum value (Fig. 1.20b). An example of this type has been represented in Fig.1.21. The rod BD of uniform cross section is hit at its end B by a body of mass m, moving with a velocity v0. The rod deforms under the impact with . After vibrating for a while, the rod will come to rest and all its internal stresses will disappear. Such a sequence of events is referred to as an impact loading (this load is an example of dynamic loads class). Fig. 1.21
1.6 SUPPORTS AND REACTIONS The mechanical connections between bodies – subjected to different loads and the surrounding environment are provided by the mechanical supports. From our knowledge of statics we have to recall three basic types of mechanical supports: simple supports: which prevent the supported element from moving linearly along a direction perpendicular to the supporting base ( Fig. 1.22).
Fig. 1.22
In Fig. 1.23 an example of a simply supported beam has been represented. Usually the supporting points are denoted by capital letters A , B , C …
Fig. 1.23
Fig. 1.24
16
Introduction
pin-connections: which prevent the supported element from moving linearly along two perpendicular directions at the supporting point (Fig. 1.24). In Fig. 1.25 an example of a beam, simply supported at A and pin– connected at B has been shown. Fig. 1.25
fixed connections: which prevent the supported element from moving linearly or rotating at the supporting point. In Fig.1.26 a column with one fixed end B and one pin-connected end A has been represented. If a structural element is fixed at a certain point, it is usually said that the element is embedded at that point. For any of the above presented types of connections, if the support prevents the supported element from moving or rotating along a certain direction then, along that direction a reaction occurs.
Fig. 1.26
Depending upon the number of prevented linear movements or rotations, in case of plane problems, the following reactions will develop (Fig. 1.27).

Fig. 1.27
As shown in Fig.1.27, the horizontal reactions are denoted by X while the vertical reactions by Y, with subscripts representing the involved supporting point. The reactions represent in fact the action of the surrounding environment on bodies or structural elements subjected to external loads. These reactions can be then calculated using different equations representing the bodies or structural elements conditions of mechanical equilibrium. 17
Strength of Materials
Let us consider now, for example, a beam, simply supported at end A and pin–connected at end B, subjected to a uniformly distributed force p and a concentrated force P (Fig. 1.28). Due to the action of the external loads p and P, at the level of the supporting points A and B the reactions YA, XB and YB will develop. Fig. 1.28
These reactions may be computed from the beam conditions of mechanical equilibrium. After the reactions have been computed, there will be no difference between the external loads p and P and these reactions, all representing a global system of loading for a body in mechanical equilibrium (Fig.1.29).
Fig. 1.29
1.7 EQUILIBRIUM EQUATIONS The equilibrium equations represent the mathematical expression of equilibrium for a body or a structural element subjected to external loads (original loads and reactions). In case of plane problems (2D problems) the conditions of equilibrium consist in two equations representing the projections of all forces about two arbitrary perpendicular directions in the plane and one equation representing a summation of moments about an arbitrary point of the plane. Let us consider for example a beam, simply supported at A and pin–connected at B (Fig. 1.30), supporting a load P. 18
Introduction
Fig. 1.30
Due to the action of force P, reactions YA, XB, YB will develop. In such cases any strength of materials problem has to start with the computation of the unknown reactions YA, XB, YB . In writing the mathematical conditions of equilibrium a coordinate system must be firstly chosen (Oxy), Fig. 1.30.

The negative sign of YB expresses that the real physical sense of reaction YB is opposite than that shown in Fig. 1.30. Once the reactions have been computed, strength of materials doesn’t make any differentiation between the original loading (represented by force P) and these reactions, all being treated as a global system of forces acting upon a body in mechanical equilibrium (Fig. 1.31). Following the same reasoning, in case of 3D problems six equilibrium equations are required: three equations of forces and three equations of moments.

2. INTERNAL FORCES IN STATICALLY DETERMINATE MEMBERS 2.1 INTERNAL FORCES COMPUTATION Consider a body of arbitrary shape acted upon by several external loads (Fig. 2.1). In statics, we would start by determining the resultant of the applied loads to determine whether or not the body remains at rest. If the resultant is zero, we have static equilibrium – a condition generally prevailing in structures. If the resultant is not zero we may apply inertia forces to bring about dynamic equilibrium. Such cases will be discussed later under dynamic loading. For the present, we consider only cases involving static equilibrium. Generally speaking, when loads are applied to a certain mechanical structure or machine, each component of such a Fig. 2.1 structure or machine is subjected to external loads of different values (Fig. 2.1). Under the action of the external loads, internal forces occur inside the involved component (assimilated to the arbitrary body represented in Fig. 2.1). If these internal forces reach critical values the body (component) will fail. One of the methods commonly used for the determination of internal forces in strength of materials is known as the method of sections. In fact the problem remains the same like that presented in the previous chapter: what does every point of the body (generically represented in Fig. 2.1) ,,feel’’ – when the body is subjected to external loads in mechanical equilibrium?
Fig. 2.2
Fig. 2.3
The method of sections consists in passing an exploratory plane π through an arbitrary point of the body and with an arbitrary orientation (Fig. 2.2). In this way two distinct segments of the body will occur (Fig.2.3), the left surface (SL) and the
Strength of Materials
right surface (SR) representing the internal plane surfaces of the body, originally in contact. Since the body represented in Fig. 2.2 is in equilibrium, neither of the two segments of Fig. 2.3 can be in equilibrium. If we want to bring the segment II for example in the same state it is in Fig. 2.2, the action of segment I on segment II (which actually exists inside the body represented in Fig. 2.2) has to be considered. This action may be reduced at the centroid O of surface SR to a resultant force R and a resultant moment M (Fig. 2.4). In other words R and M represent the action of segment I on segment II, as a global mechanical effect occured at the level of the entire section SR. In fact this mechanical effect develops inside the body represented in Fig. 2.2. Furthermore it is to be noted that M and Fig. 2.4 R represent the effect of the external loads acting on the segment I (i.e. P1, Pn, M1 – Fig. 2.2) which develops inside the body at the level of SR. The resultant force R and the resultant moment M are called internal forces. Under the action of M, R, P2, Pk, Mk the segment II of the body is now in mechanical equilibrium (as it really is in the actual state of Fig. 2.2). Now using the adequate equilibrium equations for segment II, the values of internal forces R and M can be derived. A similar reasoning may be also applied to the segment I of the body, on which internal forces R’ and M’ develop (Fig. 2.5). From action and reaction mechanical law we may write: R’ = - R, M’ = - M. Let us now apply the above reasoning to a loaded statically determinate member (Fig. 2.6). It is to be mentioned that a statically determinate member is a member for which all reactions can be completely computed from statics alone. Fig. 2.5 After computing the specific reactions (YA, YB, ZB…etc) corresponding to the supporting points A and B, the member represented in Fig. 2.6 is in fact a body subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium. Passing an exploratory plane at some arbitrary point of the member, perpendicular to the axis of the member, and considering only a segment of
22
Internal forces in statically determinate members
the member (just like in the preceding discussion) the internal forces R and M are revealed (Fig. 2.7). We do also attach to the segment considered in Fig. 2.7 a coordinate system whose origin is taken at the centroid O of the exploratory cross section (SR). Ox is the axis of the member while Oz and Oy represent the axes to which the exploratory cross section of the member is reported. For convenience, the internal Fig. 2.6 forces M and R are resolved into components that are normal and tangent to the cross section considered, within the chosen coordinate system (Fig. 2.8) - R resolved into components N, Ty and Tz, while M into components Mx, Miy , Miz.
Fig. 2.7
Fig. 2.8
Each component reflects a certain effect of the applied loads on the member and is given a special name as follows: N: axial force (R component along Ox axis, or, more briefly, x axis). This component measures the pulling (or pushing) action perpendicular to the section considered. A pull represents a tensile force that tends to elongate the member, whereas a push is a compressive force that tends to shorten it. Ty, Tz: shearing forces (R components along y axis and z axis respectively). These are components of the total resistance to sliding the portion to one side of the exploratory section past the other. The resultant shearing force (acting on zOy plane) is usually denoted by T, and its components by Ty and Tz to identify their directions. Mx: twisting couple (twisting moment or torque) (M component along x axis). This component measures the resistance to twisting the member and is commonly given the symbol Mt. Miy, Miz: bending moments. These components measure the resistance to bending the member about the y or z axes and are often denoted merely by Miy and Miz. 23
Strength of Materials
The quantities N, Ty, Tz, Mx, Miy, Miz are also called internal forces. Each of them produces a certain type of mechanical effect on the involved member: N : axial
loading
T y , T z : shearing M t : torsion M
iy
,M
iz
; loading
;
;
: bending

The simultaneous presence on the current member cross section of two or more types of internal forces determines a combined loading. Although the type of coordinate system used within such analysis is, in a way, controversial, we shall use the following sign convention: N, Ty and Tz should be considered positive if orientated to the opposite sense of the axes; Mt, Miy and Miz should be considered positive if orientated to the sense of the axes. From the preceding discussion, it is obvious that the internal effect of a given loading depends upon the selection and orientation of the exploratory section. In particular, if the loads act in a single plane, say the xy plane as is frequently the case, the six components of Fig. 2.8 reduce to only three namely, the axial force (N), the shearing force (T) and the bending moment Miz. This in why, in case of plane problems (when plane members are subjected to loads contained in the same plane) the internal forces refer to only three components whose positive sign convention should be taken as follows:
Fig. 2.9
The positive sign convention represented in Fig. 2.9 should be used for plotting the axial forces, shearing forces and bending moments diagrams. As it will be explained later, the positive sign convention corresponding to the face SR is used when the member is covered from the left to the right while the positive sign convention corresponding to the face SL is used when the member is covered from the right to the left. 24
Internal forces in statically determinate members
2.2 DIFFERENTIAL RELATIONS AMONG LOAD, SHEAR AND BENDING MOMENT Let us now consider a simply supported beam AB of span , carrying a distributed load p per unit length (Fig. 2.10a), and let C and C’ be two points of the
a.
b. Fig. 2.10
beam at an infinitely small distance dx from each other. We shall detach the portion CC’ of the beam and draw its free body diagram (Fig. 2.10b). The forces exerted on the free body include a load of magnitude pdx and the internal forces at C and C’ as shown. The shear and bending moment at C will be denoted by T and M respectively, and will be assumed positive while the shear and bending moment at C’ will be denoted by T + dT and M + dM respectively. Since the shear and bending moment are assumed to be positive, the internal forces will be directed as shown in Fig. 2.10 b. It is also to be mentioned that since the distance dx between C and C’ is considered infinitely small, the load p may be assumed uniformly distributed per length dx and may be replaced by a resultant pdx, (Fig. 2.11).

The above presented relations may be successfully used for plotting the shear and the bending moment diagrams. Generally speaking, internal forces diagrams (i.e. diagrams of axial forces, shearing forces, torsion and bending moments) are a graphical representation of the successive values of axial force N, shearing force T, torque Mt and bending moment Mi in the various sections against the distance measured from one end of the involved member. In particular, relations (2.1), (2.2) and (2.3) bring us several important rules concerning the shear and bending moment diagrams: The distributed force p measures the tangent slope of the shear curve (shear diagram). If p = 0, the shearing force will be constant; It should be observed that Eq. (2.1) is not valid at a point where a concentrated force is applied. At such a point the shear curve is discontinues and a sudden change occurs in the diagram. The value of the sudden change in the shear diagram, when a concentrated force is applied, equals the value of that concentrated force; Equation (2.2) indicates that the slope
dM
i
of the bending moment diagram is
dx
equal to the value of the shearing force. This is true at any point where the 26
Internal forces in statically determinate members
shearing force has a well defined value, i.e. at any point where no concentrated load is applied; Equation (2.2) does also show that T = 0 at points where M is maximum. This property facilitates the determination of the points where the beam (a member in bending is often referred to a beam) is likely to fail under bending; If a concentrated couple is applied at an arbitrary point of the beam, a sudden change in the bending moment diagram occurs, the change value being equal to the applied concentrated moment (couple); Equation (2.3) shows that the shear and the bending moment curves will always be, respectively, one or two degrees higher than the load curve. For example if the load curve is a horizontal straight line (the case of an uniformly distributed load p), the shear curve is an oblique straight line and the bending moment curve is a parabola. If the load curve is an oblique straight line (first degree), the shear curve is a parabola (second degree) and the bending moment curve is a cubic (third degree). With the above rules in mind, we should be able to sketch the shear and the bending moment diagrams without actually determining the function T(x) and M(x) along the member, once a few values of the shear and the bending moment have been computed. The sketches obtained will be more accurate if we make use of the fact that, at any points where the diagrams are continuous, the slope of the shear curve is equal to (- p) and the slope of the bending moment curve is equal to T. For plotting the internal forces diagrams, the following steps have to be covered: a) Denoting of the important points. An important point of a member is a point where a certain change (geometrical, loading, etc) occurs. The supporting points are usually denoted by capital letters A, B, C, etc. and the other important points by figures 1, 2, 3 etc.; b) Two successive important points define a portion of the member; c) Determination (when necessary) the magnitude of the reactions at the supports; d) A covering sense of the member has to be chosen (from the left to the right, from the right to the left or both); e) For each distinct portion of the member a current cross section at distance x from one end of the involved portion has to be considered; f) For the current cross section considered, each distinct internal force (N, T, Mt, Mi) has to be mathematically expressed as a function of x: N(x), T(x), Mt(x), Mi(x); g) Plotting the functions N(x), T(x), Mt(x), Mi(x) along the entire member, the internal forces diagrams are finally obtained.

important (main) points: 1, 2 and A; main portions of the member: 1 - 2; 2 - A; the magnitude of reactions may be determinated using the condition of mechanical equilibrium: Fx = 0

Step 4
XA = 3P ;
the covering sense of the member: let us say it is from the left to the right; Step 5 we first consider the first portion of the member (1 -2) and an exploratory current cross section located at distance x from end 1 of the portion. Looking to the left one can conclude that the single axial force component acting upon the current cross section considered is equal to P. For any value of x this component remains constant. This is why, for portion 1 - 2, the axial force will be constant (N P). The corresponding axial force diagram of portion 1 - 2 has to be hachured perpendicularly to a reference horizontal line. Since the covering sense of the member was chosen from the left to the right, the positive sign convention I has been used (Fig. 2.12a). In the same manner, the axial force for the second portion 2 - A of the member is: N2-A = P + 2P = 3P = ct. 28
Internal forces in statically determinate members
It is to be mentioned that portion 2 - A for example, could have been covered from the right to the left as well. In such a case the current cross section is taken at distance x from A and, looking to the right, we have: NA-2 = XA = 3P (the same value as above). When covering the member from the right to the left, the positive sign convention II should be taken (Fig.2.12b). The above presented algorithm for plotting the axial forces diagrams remains unchanged even if the loading or the geometry are much more complicated or the internal forces are not axial but shearing forces or bending moments. The following examples will be accompanied by no supplementary explanations. Example 2 Draw the axial force diagram for the member supported and axially loaded as shown in Fig. 2.13. Portion 1 - 2 or, more simple, 1 - 2: N(x) = 0; Portion 2 - A: N(x) = 3P = ct.

2.3.2 SHEAR AND BENDING-MOMENT DIAGRAMS Fig. 2.15 shows a simply supported beam that carries a concentrated load P, being held in equilibrium by the reactions YA and YB. For the time being we neglect the mass of the beam and consider only the effect of load P. Applying the method of sections, let us assume that a cutting plane d - d, located at a distance x from point A, divides the beam into two segments. 29
Strength of Materials
Fig.2.15
The free-body diagram of the left segment (Fig. 2.16) shows that the externally applied load is YA . To maintain equilibrium in this segment of the beam the internal forces occurring at the level of the exploratory section d - d must supply the resisting forces necessary to satisfy the conditions of static equilibrium. In this case, the external load is vertical, so the condition Fx= 0 (the x axis is horizontal) is automatically satisfied.
Fig. 2.16
Since the left segment of the beam is in equilibrium, the resisting shearing force T acting on the left segment has to be numerically equal to YA. In other words, the shearing force in the beam may be determined from the summation of all vertical components of the external loads acting on either side of the section. However, it is simpler to restrict this summation to the loads that act on the segment to the left of the section. This definitions of the shearing force (also called vertical shear or just shear) may be expressed mathematically as: T
Fy
L
,
(2.4)
the subscript L emphasizing that the vertical summation includes only the external loads acting on the beam segment to the left of the section being considered. In computing T, when the beam is covered from the left to the right, upward acting forces and loads are considered as positive (see also the sign convention presented in the preceding section). This rule of sign produces the effect shown in Fig. 2.17, in which a positive shearing force tends to move the left segment upward with respect to the right segment, and vice versa.
Fig. 2.17 30
Internal forces in statically determinate members
For a complete equilibrium of the free-body diagram in Fig. 2.15 and Fig. 2.16 the summation of moments must also balance. In this discussion YA and T are equal, thereby producing a couple Mi that is equal to YA x and is called the bending moment because it tends to bend the beam. Analogous to the computation of T at the current cross section, the bending moment is defined as the summation of moments about the centroidal axis of any selected cross section of all loads acting either to the left or to the right side of the section, being expressed mathematically as: M
i
M
M
L
R
,
(2.5)
where the subscript L indicates that the bending moment is computed in terms of the loads acting to the left of the section, while the subscript R referring to loads acting to the right of the section. Why the centroidal axis of the exploratory section must be chosen as the axis of bending moment may not be clear at this moment; this will be explained later. To many engineers, bending moment is positive if it produces bending of the beam concave upward, as in Fig. 2.18.
Fig. 2.18
We prefer to use an equivalent convention, which states that the upward acting external forces cause positive bending moments with respect to any section while downward forces cause negative bending moments. Therefore, if the left segments of the beam is concerned (Fig. 2.16), this is equivalent to taking clockwise moments about the bending axis as positive, as indicated by the moment sense of YA. With respect to the right segment of the beam (Fig. 2.16) this convention means that the moment sense of the upward reaction YB is positive in counterclockwise direction. This convention has the advantage of permitting a bending moment to be computed, without any confusion in sign, in terms of the forces to either the left or the right of a section, depending on which requires the least mathematical work. We never need think about whether a moment is clockwise or counterclockwise; upward acting forces always cause positive bending moments regardless of whether they act to the left or to the right of the exploratory section. The definition of shearing force and bending moment may be summarized mathematically as follows: T Fy Fy ; L R M

Strength of Materials
in which positive effects are produced by upward forces and negative effects by downward forces. This rule of sign will be used exclusively hereafter. To avoid conflict with this rule, we must compute vertical shear in terms of the forces lying to the left of the exploratory section. If the forces acting to the right of the section were used, it would be necessary to take downward forces as positive so as to agree with the sign convention shown in Fig. 2.17. Example 1 Draw the shear and bendingmoment diagrams for the cantilever beam shown in Fig. 2.19. (A cantilever beam is a beam with a fixed end, subjected at its free end to a single concentrated force P). We observe that the internal forces exerted on a current cross section at distance x from the free end 1 are represented by: a shearing force T of magnitude T = P (see the positive sign convention); a bending moment

We note (Fig. 2.19) that the negative values corresponding to the bending-moment diagram are represented above the reference line. In this way the bending-moment diagram shows us how the involved beam deforms under the action of the external loads. Example 2 Draw the shear and bendingmoment diagram for a simply supported beam AB, of span subjected to a single concentrated load P (Fig. 2.20) – the case Fig. 2.20 of Fig. 2.15. We first determine the reactions at the supports from the free-body diagram of the entire beam (Fig. 2.20); we find that: YA

at 1 (for x = b).
Remarks If a concentrated traverse force acts at a section of the beam, a sudden change in the shear diagram at that section occurs, the sudden change value being equal to that concentrated force. In our case of Fig. 2.20, at point 1, the sudden change is: Pb

If, for a certain portion of the beam, the shear is constant, the bending-moment diagram is linear; Covering the beam from the left to the right within the portion A - 1 and then from the right to the left within the portion B - 1, and since at point 1 there is no concentrated moment, there will be no sudden change in the bending-moment diagram at point 1. This is why we have obtained the same value of the maximum bending moment at 1; The covering sense of the beam, when plotting such diagrams, has no importance. It may be chosen from the left to the right, or from the right to the left or combined, as it is convenient to us; 33
Strength of Materials
When designing a beam like that presented in Fig. 2.20, we must note that the strength of the beam is usually controlled by the maximum absolute value Mi max of the bending moment in the beam (in our case
Pab
M i max
).
We note from the foregoing example that, when a beam is subjected only to concentrated forces, the shear is constant between the applied forces while the bending-moment varies linearly between the forces. In such situations, therefore, the shear and bending-moment diagrams may easily be drawn, once the values of T and Mi have been obtained at sections selected just to the left and just to the right of the points where the loads and reactions are applied. Numerical examples 1. Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for a simply supported beam subjected to two concentrated loads (forces) as shown in Fig. 2.21.

We can now complete the axial force, shear and bending-moment diagrams of Fig. 2.23. We note that the axial force has a constant value along the beam; the shear has also constant values between the important points of the beam while the bending moment varies linearly. At points (sections) where concentrated forces act, sudden changes in the shear diagram occur (whose values equals the applied concentrated forces). Since there are no concentrated moments on the beam there will be no sudden changes in the bending-moment diagram. 35

We do also note that the shear diagram is represented by an oblique straight line (Fig. 2.24), while the bending-moment diagram by a parabola. In the section where T = 0, the bending-moment has a maximum value. Example 4 Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for a beam, simply supported at its ends and subjected to a linearly distributed load (Fig. 2.25). The entire beam is taken as a free body, and, from the conditions of equilibrium, we write:

The negative sign of YB indicates that the real sense of this reaction is opposite to that represented in Fig. 2.26. The shear at any section is constant and equal to M0 / . Since a concentrated moment (couple) is applied at 1, the bending-moment diagram is discontinuous at 1; the bending-moment decreases suddenly by an amount equal to M0. Remark The concentrated moment in Fig. 2.26 symbolizes for example the action of two equal and opposite concentrated forces as shown in Fig. 2.27, where M0 = P d.

A complex sample problem Sketch the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the simply supported beam shown in Fig. 2.28.
Considering the entire beam as a free body, we determine the reactions as follows: Fy = 0 ;YA + YB + 5 - 10 1 = 0; YA + YB = 5; MB = 0 ; 5 3 -10 1 2,5 + YA 2 + 15 = 0; YA = - 2,5 kN; MA = 0 ; 5 1 -10 1 0,5 + 15 - YB 2 = 0; YB = 7,5 kN. Using the first equation of equilibrium ( Fy = 0) we check that the Fig. 2.28 two values obtained for YA and YB are valid. Next we draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams. The sketches obtained will be more accurate if we make use of the fact that, at any point where the curves are continuous, the slope of the shear curve is equal to -p while the slope of the bending-moment curve is equal to T.

This means that at the midpoint between 1 and A (for x = 0,5 m) the shear is zero, and, therefore, the bending-moment reaches a maximum value. It is to be mentioned that this point of maximum for the bending moment is valid only for the involved portion (i.e. 1 - A). Within the other portions of the beam the bending-moment could reach grater values as well. This is why, the maximum value of the bending reached within a certain portion of the beam is called a local maximum. There are cases in which a local maximum does also represent a global maximum too. x M i

In this way we have obtained two values for the bending-moment at point 2: one for the portion A - 2, close to the point 2 to the left and one for the portion B - 2 close to the same point 2 but to the right. Since at point 2 there is a concentrated moment acting on the beam (equal to 15 kN m), the sudden change in the bending-moment diagram at point 2 is correct.
2.3.3 TORQUE DIAGRAMS In the preceding sections we have discussed about axial forces, shear and bending-moment diagrams. Here we shall consider members which are in torsion. More specifically we shall learn to draw internal forces diagrams for members subjected to twisting couples or torques. We say that a member is subjected to torsion if at any cross section of the member, the internal forces are represented by a torque vector directed along the axis of the member. To sketch the torque diagrams the method of sections may be used, as presented in the preceding sections. Draw the torque diagram for a member fixed at one end and subjected to concentrated and uniform distributed torques as shows in Fig. 2.29. Considering the entire member as a free body we obtain the reactions at A. M

We note that, in such a case, the sign used for torques is not so important. As soon as a certain sign has been adopted for the first met torque, the signs for the other torques have to be adopted consequently. Therefore, the torque diagrams may be sketched above or below the reference line. Like in the preceding examples, if a concentrated torque acts at a certain section of the member, at that point a sudden change in the torque diagram occurs (the change being equal to that concentrated torque). The torque diagrams are usually hachured as shown in Fig. 2.29.
2.4 SUPERPOSITION METHOD The superposition principle is a consequence of the material linear-elastic behaviour: the effect at any point of a linear-elastic mechanical structure subjected to several loads represents the summation of the effects produced by each of these loads acting separately. Using the superposition method, a complicated problem may be solved through a summation of simple problems. For example, the shear and bendingmoment diagram for the beam shown in Fig. 2.30a, may be sketched as an algebraical summation of the three diagrams of Fig. 2.30b.
a. Fig. 2.30
Important remark The drawing of the internal forces diagrams (axial forces, shear, bendingmoment or torque diagrams) may be performed in a unique, simple and logical manner: the involved member is cut at an arbitrary point, the internal force of a certain type representing the summation of all corresponding external loads (or b. moments) acting to the left or to the right of the cross section considered (and using the adequate sign convention). 41
Strength of Materials
In case of shear and bending moment diagrams, a particular case may also arise. The presence of one, two or more intermediate pin connections between different segments of a beam, offers one, two or more additional conditions for the computation of the external reactions. Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the beam shown in Fig. 2.31. Due to the presence of the intermediate pin connection at point 2, the bending moment (as internal force) at that section is zero. On the other hand, the bending moment at point 2, represents the summation of all bending moments given by the loads acting to the left side of section 2. We obtain therefore: M

p 2 a 3a

From now on the shear and bending moment diagrams may be sketched as if the support A and the intermediate pin connection would have not existed, the beam being subjected at A by an upward vertical concentrated external Fig. 2.31 force equal to 1,5ap. We finally obtain the shear and bending moment diagrams shown in Fig. 2.31.
2.5 MOVING LOADS A truck or other vehicle rolling across a beam or girder constitutes a system of concentrated loads at fixed distance from each other. For beams carrying only concentrated loads the maximum bending moment occurs under one of the loads. Therefore the problem here is to determine the bending moment under each load when each load is in a position to cause a maximum moment to occur under it. The largest of these various values is the maximum moment that governs the design of the beam. In Fig. 2.32, P1 ,P2, P3 and P4 represent a system of loads at fixed distances a, b and c from each other; the loads move as an unit across the simply supported beam with span . Let us locate the position of P2 when the bending moment under this load is maximum. If we denote the resultant of the loads on the span by R and its position from P2 by e, the value of the left reaction is: 42

(2.6)
This value of x is independent of the number of loads to the left of P2, since the derivative of all terms of the form P1a with respect to x will be zero. Equation (2.6) may be expressed in terms of the following rule: the bending moment under a particular load is a maximum when the center of the beam is midway between that load and the resultant of all loads then on the span. With this rule we locate the position of each load when the moment at that load is a maximum and compute the value of each such maximum moment. The maximum shearing force occurs at, and is equal to, the maximum reaction. The maximum reaction for a group of moving loads on a span occurs either at the left reaction, when the leftmost load is over that reaction, or at the right reaction when the rightmost load is over it. In other words, the maximum reaction is the reaction to which the resultant load is nearest.
2.6 INTERNAL FORCES DIAGRAMS FOR PLANE STRUCTURES (2D structures - FRAMES) AND SPATIAL (3D) STRUCTURES The principle presented above for sketching the straight beams internal forces diagrams may be easily extended to the plane or spacial structures. Let us consider for example the plane beam shown in Fig. 2.33, for which we have to draw the axial force, shear and bending-moment diagrams. An observer "O” covering the beam from 1 to A (or from A to 1, as it is easier from the mathematical point of view) sees each straight portion of the beam as a beam for which applies the rules presented in the preceding sections.

We note that all internal forces corresponding to the portion 2 - A are constant. We are now in the position to draw the internal forces diagrams (N, T, Mi). It is to be mentioned that, in such cases the diagrams are sketched with respect to a reference line representing the x axis of the beam (the axis directed along the beam). Analogous to the straight beams, for N and T diagrams + means above the reference line. For the bending-moment diagrams, "+" means below and "-" means above the reference line (from the observer's point of view). With these remarks, the internal forces diagrams have been represented in Fig. 2.36.
Fig. 2.36
The diagrams represented in Fig 2.36 tell us what does the plane beam feel (as a global effect) at each particular cross section, when subjected to the external load P. We also note that it was not necessary to compute the reactions XA, YA, MA for sketching the internal forces diagrams.

c) Draw the axial force, shear and bending-moment diagrams for the curved beam of radius R shown in Fig. 2.41. Although the axis of the beam is not a straight line, the principle presented above for sketching the N, T, Mi diagrams remains valid. The problem consists in determining the internal forces corresponding to each particular cross section of the beam. In order to locate the current cross section an angular parameter must be used (instead of the linear parameter “x” which has been used up the now) for each particular portion of the curved beam.
Fig. 2.42
Fig. 2.43
Let us now consider the first portion 1–2 of the built-in arch shown in Fig. 2.41. The axial force, shear and bending moment equations for segment 1 – 2 are obtained similarly by passing a cross section a–a anywhere between 1 and 2. As discussed above, the cross section is located by the parameter . When varies between 0˚ and 90˚ the whole portion 1 - 2 of the curved beam is covered. The concentrated load P which acts at section 1, transmits its effect through the segment BCDE up to the current cross section D'E’ located by parameter (Fig. 2.42). This means that a vertical downward load P will act at the centroid O of the current cross section D’E’. It is in fact the internal force exerted on the current cross section and may be resolved into two components: one component perpendicular to the current cross section D’E’ and the other one contained within the plane of the cross section. The first component represents the current axial force (N) while the second component represents the corresponding shearing force (T). An observer “O” placed at the current cross section, using the proper positive sign convention will see that: 0;N 0 ;T

We shall now consider a simple spatial structure (a 3D structure, i.e. a three dimensional structure) represented by a beam, fixed at one end, and subjected to two concentrated loads P and Q at the other end, Fig. 2.46.
Fig. 2.46
d) Draw the axial force, shear, bending moment and torque diagrams for the 3D beam shown in Fig. 2.46. Although the problem seems to be a little bit more completed the basic principle for sketching the internal force diagrams remains unchanged. Before solving the problem there are still some important remarks to be done: As it will be discussed later, the sign of the shearing force has no physical consequences in designing a beam or a certain mechanical structure. This is why, in case of complicate structures, we shall give the T sign up and we shall represent the T diagrams as they are convenient to us; The sign of the bending moment does also depend upon the relative position of the observer, Fig. 2.47. Although the two beams represented in Fig. 2.47 are entirely identical from the geometrical and loading point of view, the two corresponding bending - moment diagrams have different signs. These signs are, after all, simple conventions. On the other hand, it is to be observed that in both cases of Fig 2.47, the bending-moment diagrams occupy the same position with respect to the reference line. In other words, this means that the position of the bending-moment diagrams do not depend upon the observer's position. The 50
Internal forces in statically determinate members
location of the bending moment diagram with respect to the reference line corresponds to the position of the beam fibres in tension.
Fig. 2.47
For this reason, in many cases, we shall not note the sign of the bending moment diagrams and we shall represent these diagrams on the side corresponding to the beam fibres in tension, Fig. 2.48. Let us now return to the original problem regarding the simple 3D structure shown in Fig. 2.46. Covering the beam from 1 to A and attaching a proper coordinate system (whose Ox axis is usually directed along the beam) to each main portion of the beam (Fig. 2.46) we obtain the axial force, shearing force, bending - moment and torque diagrams shown in Fig. 2.49. It should Fig. 2.48 be noted that, for each main portion of the beam, two shearing forces and two bending-moments could exist simultaneously (about Oy and Oz axes). We shall now conclude our analysis concerning the main types of internal forces by observing that these diagrams are in fact a graphical representation of a global mechanical effect occured at any particular cross section of a given member subjected to external loads. 51
Strength of Materials
Fig. 2.49
While these diagrams represent a first and necessary step in the analysis of a given structural member, they do not tell us whether the external loads may be safely supported. Whether or not a given structural member will break under the external loading clearly depends upon the ability of the material to withstand the corresponding elementary forces occurred at the level of each particular point of the member cross sections. This is why, after a short study of the moments of inertia within the next chapter, some other chapters of the text will be devoted to the analysis of the stresses and of the corresponding deformations in various structural members, considering axial loading, shearing loading, torsion and bending successively. Each analysis will be based upon a few basic concepts, namely, the conditions of equilibrium of the forces exerted on the member, the relations existing between stress and strain in the material and the conditions imposed by the supports and loading of the member. The study of each type of loading will be complemented by examples, sample problems and problems to be assigned, all designed to strengthen the students understanding of the subject.

3.FIRST MOMENTS AND SECOND MOMENTS OF AN AREA
Many engineering formulas and applications such as those relating to strength of beams, columns, shafts, etc., involve the use of different mathematical expressions which describe, from the mathematical point of view, the shape and dimensions of the cross sections. These mathematical expressions are called: geometrical characteristics. For members under axial loading (tension or compression) the single involved geometrical characteristic is represented by the cross-sectional area A of the member. A higher value of the cross-sectional area A of the member means a higher strength of the member under axial loading (Fig.3.1). For structural elements in bending, torsion etc. there are also other geometrical characteristics involved within the strength calculus: the static moments (first moments of an area) and the moments of inertia (second moments Fig. 3.1 of an area).
3.1 FIRST MOMENTS AREA

Similarly, the first moment of area A with respect to the y axis is defined as the integral: S

Since in almost all cases the area A of Fig.3.2 is assimilated to the crosssectional area of a beam, a shaft etc., it is presented as being located in the zOy plane, the Ox axis being directed along the beam, shaft etc. The centroid of area A is defined as the point G of coordinates zG and yG (Fig.3.2), which satisfy the relations: Fig. 3.2 z dA S

Comparing (3.1) and (3.2) with (3.3), we note that the first moments of area A may be expressed as the products of the area and the coordinates of its centroid: Sy
A zG ;
Sz

yG .
When an area possesses an axis of symmetry, the first moment of the area with respect to that axis is zero. Indeed, considering the area A of Fig.3.3, which is symmetric with respect to the Oy axis, we observe that to every element of area dA of abscissa z corresponds an element of area dA’ of abscissa -z. It follows that the integral in (3.2) is zero and, thus, Fig. 3.3 Sy=0. It does also follow from the first of the relations (3.3) that zG = 0. Thus, if an area A possesses an axis of symmetry, its centroid G is located on that axis. If an area possesses two axes of symmetry (Fig.3.4) the centroid G coincides with its geometric center.The coordinate axes passing through the centroid of a given area are called centroidal (or central) axes. It is to be observed that the integrals involved in relations (3.1) and (3.2) are actually double integrals, which have to be calculated with the well known mathematical methods (Fig. 3.5). S

3.2 SECOND MOMENTS OF AN AREA Consider again an area A located in the zOy plane (Fig. 3.6) and an element of area dA of coordinates z and y. The second moment, or moment of inertia, of area A with respect to the Oz axis, and the second moment, or the moment of inertia, of area A with respect to the Oy axis are defined, respectively, as: 2 2 (3.5) Iy z dA .

While each of the above integrals is actually a double integral, it is possible in Fig. 3.6 many applications to select elements of area dA in the shape of thin horizontal or vertical strips, and thus reduce the computation to simple integration. This will be illustrated later. We now define the centrifugal moment of inertia (or the product of inertia) of area A with respect to Oz and Oy axes (Fig. 3.6) as the integral: I zy
zy d A .

Relations (3.5) show that the moments of inertia of an area are positive quantities and are expressed in mm4, cm4, m4 etc. On the other hand, relation (3.6) shows that the centrifugal moment of inertia may be positive, negative or zero, depending upon the locations of the area relative to the involved axes. It is positive if the area lies principally in the first or third quadrants and negative if the area lies principally in the second or fourth quadrants. We define the polar moment of inertia of area A with respect to point O (Fig. 3.6) as the integral: 59

(3.7)

where r is the distance from O to the element dA. While this integral is again a double integral, it is possible in the case of a circular area to select elements of area dA in the shape of thin circular rings, and thus reduce the computation of Ip to a simple integration. This will be illustrated later. It is to be noted that the polar moment of inertia is also a positive quantity, being expressed in mm4, cm4, m4 etc. An important relation may be established between the polar moment of inertia Ip of a given area and the moments of inertia Iz and Iy of the same area. Noting that r2 = z2 + y2 (Fig. 3.6) we write: I

If an area has an axis of symmetry, this axis together with any axis perpendicular to it will form a set of axes for which the centrifugal moment of inertia is zero. Consideration of the symmetrical section shown in Fig. 3.7 will disclose that, for any differential area dA, there is a symmetrically placed equal differential area dA’. With respect to the Oy axis of symmetry, the z coordinates of dA and dA’ are equal but of opposite sign, whereas their y coordinates are equal and of the same sign regardless of the Fig. 3.7 position of the Oz axis. Hence the sum of the products zy dA for each such pair of symmetrically placed elements dA and dA’ will be zero. It follows, therefore, that the value of zy d A for the entire area will be zero if either or both reference axes are axes of A
symmetry.
3.3 PARALLEL - AXIS THEOREM (STEINER’S RELATIONS) Consider the moments of inertia Iz and Iy and the centrifugal moment of inertia Izy of an area A with respect to two arbitrary perpendicular axes Oz and Oy (Fig. 3.8). We assume to know the quantities Iz, Iy and Izy, where 60

Relations (3.10) are known as Steiner’s formulas. For example, the first relation of (3.10) expresses that the moment of inertia of an area with respect to an arbitrary Oz1 axis is equal to the moment of inertia Iz
of the same area with respect to the centroidal Oz axis parallel to the Oz1, plus the product b2A of area A and the square of the distance b between the two axes. This result is also known as the parallel-axis theorem. It makes it possible to determine the moment of inertia of an area with respect to a given axis, when its moment of inertia with respect to a centroidal axis of the same direction is known. Conversely, it makes it possible to determine the moment of inertia Iz of an area A with respect to a centroidal axis Oz, when the moment of inertia I z of A with respect to a parallel axis 1
2
is known, by subtracting from I z the product b A. We should note that the parallel1
axis theorem may be used only if one of the two axes involved is a centroidal axis.

3.5 MOMENTS OF INERTIA OF COMPLEX SURFACES (COMPOSITE AREAS) To determine of the moments for inertia of a complex surface the following steps have to be covered: - the complex surface (area) A has to be divided into several component parts of areas A1, A2 ...; - determination of the centroidal point G of the complex area; - since the integral representing the moment of inertia of area A may be subdivided into integrals extending over A1, A2 ..., the moment of inertia of A with respect to a given axis will be obtained by adding the moments of inertia of areas A1, A2 ... , with respect to the same axis. Before adding the moments of inertia of the component areas, however, the parallel-axis theorem should be used to transfer each moment of inertia to the desired axis. This is shown in the following example. Determine the moments of inertia Iz, Iy and Izy of area A shown in Fig. 3.13, with respect to the centroidal axes.
Fig. 3.13
Fig. 3.14
We first divide the complex area A into the two rectangular areas A1 and A2 (Fig 3.14) and denote their centroids and their own centroidal axes by G1 ,G2 , z1 , y1 , z2, y2 respectively. 65

3.6 MOMENTS OF INERTIA WITH RESPECT TO INCLINED AXES In some cases, it is necessary to determine the moments of inertia with respect to axes that are inclined to the usual axes. The moments of inertia in such cases can be obtained by formal integration, but a general formula is usually easier to use. The problem may be stated as follows: assuming the values Iz, Iy and Izy with respect to the Oz and Oy axes to be known, determine the values of

The relation between these coordinates can be obtained by projecting the coordinates z and y on the z1 and y1 axes. This gives (Fig. 3.15): z1

Usually, the axis of maximum is denoted by 1 while the axis Fig. 3.16 of minimum by 2. It is important to be mentioned again that the product of inertia of the original area with respect to the coordinate system 1O2 (Fig. 3.16) is zero. 69

Axes 1 and 2 are called principal axes. One could demonstrate that if Izy < 0 the axis of maximum is placed in the first quadrant while, if Izy > 0, the axis of maximum is placed in the second quadrant.
3.7 RADIUS OF GYRATION. ELLIPSE OF INERTIA The term radius of gyration is used to describe another mathematical expression and occurs most frequently in column formulas. Radius of gyration is usually denoted by the symbol i and is defined as: I

where I is the moment of inertia and A the area. Thus, we have: iz

The following is a geometric interpretation of this relation. Assume the area of Fig. 3.2 to be squeezed into a long narrow strip as shown in Fig. 3.17. Each differential element of area dA will then have the same distance iz from the Oz axis. The moment of inertia is given by: 2

The strip may be placed on either side of the reference axis, since if iz is negative, squaring it will automatically make it plus. Also, part of the strip may be at a distance iz from one side of the reference axis and the remainder of the strip at equal distance iz from the other side of the axis. In view of this discussion, the radius of gyration is frequently considered to be the uniform distance from the reference axis at which the entire area may be assumed to be distributed. For an area whose dimensions perpendicular to a reference axis are negligibly small compared with its distance from that axis, the radius of gyration is practically equivalent to the centroidal location of the area. 70

Sample problems 1. For the area shown in Fig. 3.18 determine: (a) the centroidal point G of the area A; (b) the moments of inertia Iz, Iy and Izy with respect to the centroidal reference system zGy; (c) the principal axes of inertia 1 and 2; (d) the principal moments of inertia I1 and I2; (e) the principal radii of inertia i1 and i2 and (f) draw the ellipse of inertia. Solution We first divide the area A of the whole surface into three rectangular areas with centroidal points G1, G2 and G3 (Fig. 3.18). We observe that the centroid of the second rectangular area G2 coincides with the centroid G of the whole area A. Thus, axes z2 and y2 coincide with the centroidal axes Gz and Gy of the whole area A. Recalling (3.11) and (3.12) and using the parallel-axis theorem we may write the moments of inertia of the composite area A as follows: 165 Iz

The principal centroidal ellipse of inertia has been represented in Fig. 3.18. 2. For the composite area of Fig. 3.19, composed of two U-shaped profiles, determine the same quantities like in the previous example. Solution We first divide the area A of the whole surface into two areas 1 and 2 (the two U shapes) having the centroidal points at G1 and G2 (Fig. 3.19). From the appropriate tables containing the geometrical characteristics of rolled-steel shapes (APPENDIX III) we may get all the necessary data: I

4. DISPLACEMENTS, STRESSES AND STRAINS 4.1 DISPLACEMENTS Consider a body subjected to several external loads P1, P2,…, Pk, Pn in mechanical equilibrium, (Fig. 4.1). The body has been represented in a rectangular coordinate system Oxyz, with i , j and k the versors of the reference axes. Let us assume that, before the action of the external loads, a certain point of the body occupies the position A (Fig. 4.1). Due to the action of the external loads the body deforms and, after deformation of the body, the point A is displaced to A . The length A A is called the total displacement of point A. Denoting the displacement Fig. 4.1 components of point A by u, v and w, we may write AA
u i
v
j
w k
(4.1)
The components u, v, w are called linear displacements. 4.2 THE CONCEPT OF STRAIN Consider again a body subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium, P1,…,Pn. Before the action of the loads the involved body occupies a certain position in space. Due to the action of the external loads the body deforms (Fig. 4.2) and all its points are displaced to the other positions. Two points occupying the positions A and B, within the initial undeformed state of the body, are displaced to A and B respectively. In this way the distance between points A and B changes due to the action of the external loads. Denoting by the original length of Fig. 4.2 the segment AB and by ’
Strength of Materials
the length of A’B’ we define the linear absolute deformation as ’- .
(4.2)
Letting approach zero, we define the deformation per unit length at point A (or the normal strain at point A) along direction AB as lim
0
.
(4.3)
Since Δ and are expressed in the same units, the normal strain ε obtained by dividing by is a dimensionless quantity. Returning now to Fig. 4.2, let us consider three points (O, C, D) of the body in its original, undeformed state, where segments OC and OD are perpendicular. After deformation of the body, the points O, C, D are displaced to O , C , D the segments O C and O D losing their perpendicularity. In the same time a change of the right angle between OC and OD occurs ( COD C O D ). Letting the segments OC and OD approach zero, we define the shearing strain as COD

In fact represents the change of the original right angle COD. In case of a rectangular element of infinitely small sides a, b and c the shearing strain corresponding to the x and y directions is, (Fig. 4.3):

If we attach a rectangular coordinate reference system Oxyz to the body represented in Fig. 4.2, the knowledge of the body deformation state implies the knowledge, for each particular point of the body, of all components contained in the table bellow.

Displacements, stresses and strains
4.3 THE CONCEPT OF STRESS While the method of sections (i.e. internal forces diagrams) presented in chapter II represents a first and necessary step in the analysis of a certain mechanical structure (member, beam, etc) it does not tell us whether the loads may be safely supported. This is why we have to introduce the concept of stress. Let us now return for a while to the method of sections, considering a body subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium (Fig. 4.4a).
b.
a. Fig. 4.4
Passing an exploratory plane through the body at some arbitrary point we obtain the two segments shown in Fig. 4.4b. (I and II). In this way we expose the internal forces acting on the exploratory section that are necessary to maintain the equilibrium of either segment. As presented in chapter II, in general, the internal forces reduce to a force and a couple that, for convenience are resolved into their components that are normal and tangent to the section, (Fig. 4.5). The origin of the reference axes is always taken at the centroid which is the key reference point of the section. Although we are not get ready to show why this is so, we shall prove it as we progress. Anyhow, the internal forces defined above (R, M, R’, M’ or their components) represent a global effect occurred within the Fig. 4.5 exploratory section considered. But, if the considered body is to fail under the action of the external loads, this failure begins at the level of a certain point of the exploratory section. This is why we have to analyze the local effect occurred at the level of the exploratory sectional points, when the involved body is subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium. Such an analysis requires the concept of stress.
77
Strength of Materials
Let us now consider the Ist segment of the body shown in Fig.4.4, for which we take an elementary area ΔA of the section surface considered, around an arbitrary point C, (Fig.4.6). We denote by P the surface force acting on ΔA. This force models the mechanical interaction between the points of ΔA and the points of the area ΔA’ of the second segment of the body with which ΔA comes in contact. The vector quantity
Fig. 4.6
P

(4.6)
A
is called the total average stress developed on ΔA. Now letting ΔA approach zero (which means that ΔA reduces to the point C), the vector quantity p
P lim A
(4.7)
A
0
is called the total stress at point C or simply the stress at point C, (Fig.4.6). Generally speaking, the stresses on different sections passing though the same point in a body are different. Usually, the stress is resolved into a component (called the normal stress) acting along the normal direction n to the ΔA surface and a tangential component (called the shearing stress) acting along a tangential direction t , contained within the plane of surface ΔA (Fig.4.6). Since the force P is expressed in newtons (N) and ΔA in square millimeters, the stress p and the stress components and will be expressed in N/mm2. This unit is called a megapascal (MPa). We have 1 MPa

.
If we take a rectangular coordinate reference system xyz with its origin at point C (with Cx axis perpendicular to ΔA and Cz and Cy axes contained within the ΔA plane), the shearing stress may be resolved into other two components acting along Cy and Cz respectively, Fig. 4.7.To indicate the acting plane and the direction of a normal stress, we associate the stress with a coordinate subscript.

Displacements, stresses and strains
For instance, indicates the normal stress acting on a plane perpendicular to the x axis and also in the x direction. As to a shearing stress, we should associate it with two coordinate subscripts. For instance, indicates the shearing stress acting on a plane perpendicular to the x axis, but in the y direction. The stress p shown in Fig. 4.7 may be thus expressed as x

Returning to the exploratory plane π considered, it is to be noted that there is an infinit number of planes (sections), which may be passed through the point C of the body. For each plane passed through point C, we find a certain stress p . Although there is an infinit number of stresses which may be associated to the point C, one could demonstrate (and this will be done later) that the stress state at point C is defined by the stresses corresponding to the three perpendicular planes at C (Fig.4.9), where px

is called the stress tensor at point C. To facilitate the visualization of the stress condition at point C, we shall consider a small cube of side a centered of C and the stresses exerted an each of the six faces of the cube (Fig.4.10).
Fig. 4.10
Fig. 4.11
The stress components shown in the figure are , and , which represent the normal stresses of faces respectively perpendicular to the x, y and z axes, and the six shearing stress components , , etc. We recall that, according to the definition y

of the shearing stress components, represents the y component of the shearing stress exerted on the face perpendicular to the x axis, while represents the x component of the shearing stress exerted on the face perpendicular to the y axis. Note that only three faces of the cube are actually visible in Fig.4.10 and that equal and opposite stress components act on the hidden faces. While the stresses acting on the faces of the cube differ slightly from the stresses at C, the error involved is small and vanishes as side a of the cube approaches zero. Important relations between the shearing stress components will now be derived. Let us consider the free-body diagram of the small cube centered at point C (Fig.4.11). The normal and shearing forces acting on the various faces of the cube are obtained by multiplying the corresponding stress components by the area ΔA of each face. Selecting coordinate axes centered at C, we may write the six equilibrium equations: xy

Displacements, stresses and strains
Since forces equal and opposite to the forces actually shown in Fig. 4.11 are acting on the hidden faces of the cube, it is clear that equations 4.10 are satisfied. Turning now to the equations (4.11), we first consider the last of these equations, M 0 . Using a projection on the xy plane (Fig.4.12), we note that the only forces with moments about the z axis different from zero are the shearing forces. These forces form two couples one of A a , counterclockwise moment the other of clockwise moment A a . We write therefore z

These stress components are , , , , , . We also note that, at a given point, shear cannot take place in one plane only; an equal shearing stress must be exerted on another plane perpendicular to the first one (Fig.4.13). The two shearing stresses have the same orientation with respect to the common edge. This property is called the shearing stresses duality law. x

4.4 RELATIONSHIPS AMONG INTERNAL FORCES AND STRESSES WITHIN A BEAM (MEMBER) CROSS SECTION The method of sections tells us that, in the most general state, the global internal force at the level of a given cross section of a beam or member, may be expressed through six components (Fig.4.14): N , T , T , M M , M and M . y

5. STRENGTH OF MATERIALS BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
To evaluate the stress, strains and displacements in a strength of materials problem, we must derive a series of basic equations. During the process of derivation, however, if we consider all the influential factors in an all-round way, the results obtained will be so complicated that practically no solutions can be found. Therefore, we have to make some basic assumptions about the properties of the body considered. Under such assumptions, we can neglect some of the influential factors of minor importance temporarily, thus simplifying the strength of materials calculus. In this text we shall comply with the following assumptions in classical strength of materials: 1. The body is continuous, i.e., the whole volume of the body is filled with continuous matter, without any void. Only under this assumption, can the physical quantities in the body, such as stresses, strains and displacements, be continuously distributed and thereby expressed by continuous functions of coordinates in space. In reality, all engineering materials are composed of elementary particles and do not accord with the assumption of continuity. However, it may be conceived that this assumption will lead to no significant errors so long as the dimensions of the body are very large in comparison with those of the particles and with the distances between neighboring particles. 2. The body is homogeneous: the properties are the same throughout the body. Under this assumption we may analyse an elementary volume isolated from the body and then apply the results of analysis to the entire body. 3. The body is isotropic so that the material properties are the same in all directions. Thus, the strength study will be independent of the orientation of coordinate axes. Most engineering materials do not satisfy the above last two assumptions completely. Structural steel, for instance, when studied with a microscope, is seen to consist of crystals of various kinds and various orientations. It seems that the material is far from being homogeneous and isotropic. However, since the dimensions of any single crystal are very small in comparison with those of the entire body, and since the crystals are orientated at random, the behavior of a piece of steel, on average, appears to justify the assumptions of homogeneity and isotropy. This is the reason why the strength of materials calculus based on these assumptions can be applied to steel structures with very great accuracy so long as none of the members has been
Strength of Materials
subjected to the process of rolling which may produce a definite orientation of the crystals. In contrast with steel, wood is definitely not isotropic, since the properties of wood in the direction of the grain differ greatly from those in the perpendicular directions. In assuming isotropic material, we shall of course exclude the treatment of wooden structures. 4. The displacements and strains are small, i.e., the displacement components of all points of the body during deformation are very small in comparison with its original dimensions and the strain components and the rotations of all line elements are much smaller than unity. Thus when we formulate the equilibrium equations relevant to the deformed state, we may use the lengths and angles of the body before deformation. In addition, when we formulate the geometrical equations involving strains and displacements, we may neglect the squares and products of small quantities. For example, when writing the Fig. 5.1 moment given by the force P at point A (Fig. 5.1) we choose the arm instead of ’, the difference between the two lengths being a very small quantity. This is why we may write all the equilibrium equations on the undeformed state of the body.
a.
b. Fig. 5.2
Following the same idea, if the two members of Fig. 5.2a are subjected to a force P applied at B, within the context of the above mentioned assumption the angle made by each member with the vertical direction remains approximately equal to (Fig. 5.2b). 84
Strength of Materials Basic Assumptions
A direct consequence of the small displacements and strains assumption is the method (principle) of superposition. 5. The body is perfectly elastic, i.e., it wholly obeys Hooke’s law of elasticity, which shows the linear relations between the stress components and the strain components (Fig. 5.3). Under this assumption, the elastic constants will be independent of the magnitudes of these components. The justifications for this assumption lies in the physical behavior of nearly all materials in engineering construction. In the other words, if the strains caused in a certain body by the application of a given load disappear when the load is removed, the material is said to behave elastically.
Fig. 5.3
The linear relations between stress and strain in their simplest way, may be expressed by Hooke’s law as follows :
=E
and
= G ,
(5.1)
where E is called the modulus of elasticity of the material involved (or Young’s modulus, after the English scientist Thomas Young (1773-1829) and G is called the modulus of rigidity or shear modulus of the material. For structural steel we have: E = 2,1105 MPa ; G = 8 104 MPa. Fig. 5.3 does also tell us that the involved material behaves linearly. 6. Saint-Venant’s principle: except in the immediate vicinity of the points of application of the loads, the stress distribution in a body may be assumed independent of the actual mode of application of the loads. This statement practically applies to any type of load. While Saint-Venant’s principle makes it possible to replace a given loading by a simpler one for the purpose of computing the stresses in a structural member, we should keep in mind two important points when applying this principle: a. The actual loading and the loading used to compute the stresses must be statically equivalent; 85
Strength of Materials
b. Stresses cannot be computed in this manner in the immediate vicinity of the points of application of the loads. Advanced theoretical or experimental methods must be used to determine the distribution of stresses in these areas. Applying the above principle at a section K of a beam, for example, (where K is not placed in the immediate vicinity of the points of application of the loads), the effect occured at K is the same for both types of loading (Fig.5.4a,b).
a.
b. Fig. 5.4
7. Bernoulli’s hypothesis For structural members in tension or compression, the plane and parallel cross sections before the deformation of the members, remain plane and parallel after deformation (Fig.5.5). For beams (structural elements in bending), the plane sections, perpendicular to the beam axis before the deformation of the beam, remain plane and perpendicular to the beam axis after deformation (Fig.5.6). Fig. 5.5
Fig. 5.6
The above presented assumptions let us simplify the strength of materials calculus without loosing the accuracy in a fundamental manner. 86
6. AXIAL LOADING
One of the basic problems facing the engineer is to select the proper material and proportion it to enable a structure or machine to perform its function efficiently. For this purpose, it is essential to determine the strength, stiffness and other properties of materials. These properties are then compared with those computed using the strength of materials models. From this comparison the desired unknown elements may be found.
6.1 STRESS AND STRAIN A bar is said to be under axial loading (tension - Fig. 6.1a or compression Fig. 6.1b) if, at any cross section, the internal forces are represented by a single component: the axial force N.
a.
b. Fig. 6.1
To determine the stress and strain in a bar under axial loading, the following basic assumptions will be considered: The material is continuous, homogeneous, isotropic and linear-elastic; The displacements and strains are small; Bernoulli’s hypothesis is available; Hooke’s law is expressed through: σ x E ε x . Static considerations Suppose that a cutting plane , perpendicular to the bar axis (Ox), isolates the right segment of the bar (Fig. 6.2a). Then, as shown in Fig. 6.2a, the resisting internal force over the cut section must balance the applied load P. From the condition of equilibrium we have: Fx

The internal axial force N represents a global effect occurred at the level of the entire cut cross section considered. On the other hand, at the level of the cross sectional points, normal stresses develop (Fig. 6.2b). Thus, considering an element of area dA around an arbitrary cross sectional point Q, the elementary axial force developed b. at this level is (Fig. 6.3). (6.1) dN dA . This means that the relation between the global axial force N and the normal stress over the cross section considered may be written as follows: dA

(6.6)
We should also note that, in formula (6.6) is obtained by dividing the magnitude P of the resultant of the internal forces, distributed over the cross-section, by area A; it represents, therefore, the average value of the stress over the cross section, rather than the stress at a specific point of the cross section. To define the stress at a given point Q of a current cross section, we should consider a small area dA (Fig. 6.3) around Q. Dividing the magnitude of dN by dA, we obtain the average value of the stress over dA. In general the value obtained for the stress at a given point Q of the cross section is different from the value of the average stress, given by formula (6.6), and σ is found to vary across the section. In a slender rod subjected to equal and opposite concentrated forces P (Fig. 6.5a) this variation is small in a section away from the points of application of the a. b. c. d. concentrated forces (Fig. 6.5c), but Fig. 6.5. it is quite noticeable in the neighborhood of these points (Fig. 6.5b,d). In practice, we shall assume that the distribution of normal stresses in an axially loaded member is uniform, except in the immediate vicinity of the points of application of the loads. The value of the stress is then equal to σ average and may be obtained from formula (6.6). However, we should realize that, when we assume a uniform distribution of stresses over a given cross section, the concentrated forces P must be applied at the centroid of the section (Fig. 6.1). In other words, an uniform 89
Strength of Materials
distribution of stresses is possible only if the line of action of the applied concentrated loads P passes through the centroid G of the section considered. This type of loading is called centric loading (Fig. 6.6).
a. Fig. 6.6
b. Fig. 6.7
However, if a two-force member is axially loaded but eccentrically, as shown in Fig. 6.7a, we find from the conditions of equilibrium of the portion of member shown in Fig 6.7b, that the internal forces at a given section must be equivalent to a force P applied at the centroid of the section and a couple M = aP. In such a case the distribution of stresses cannot be uniform. This point will be discussed in detail later, within another chapter. Let us now return to formula (6.6). To determine whether the bar of Fig. 6.1 may support the given load P, we must compare the value obtained for σ under this loading with the maximum value of the stress which may be safely applied to steel (in case the bar is made of steel). From a table of properties of materials we find the maximum allowable stress in the type of steel to be used ( σ a ). Let us suppose we have to design a simple member (like that represented in Fig. 6.1, for example) so that it would not fail under specified loading conditions. In such a case, on one hand, we must compute the actual stresses σ in the involved member using formula (6.6): σ

On the other hand we have to find out the allowable value of the normal stresses σ a for the involved material (using different engineering tables containing materials properties). In the end, the strength condition of the member considered is P a

The condition (6.7) may be used for all three specific types of strength of materials problems. 90
Axial loading
Another important aspect of the analysis and design of structures relates to the deformations caused by the loads applied to the structures. Clearly, it is important to avoid deformations so large that they may prevent the structure for fulfilling the purpose for which it was intended. Let us now consider a bar BC, of length and uniform cross-sectional area A, which is suspended from B (Fig. 6.8a). If we apply a load P to end C, the bar elongates (Fig. 6.8b), with . Since x

where E is the modulus of elasticity of the material involved and N is the axial internal force which is constant along the member considered. Equation (6.9) may be used only if the bar is homogeneous (constant E), has a uniform cross section of area A and is loaded at its ends. If the bar is loaded at other points, or if it consists of several portions of various cross sections and possibly of different materials, we must divide it into component parts which satisfy individually the required conditions for the application of formula (6.9). Denoting respectively by Ni, i, Ai and Ei the internal force, the length, the cross sectional area and the modulus of elasticity corresponding to the part i, we may express the deformation of the entire bar as: N i i

In case of a rod of variable cross section and/or variable axial internal force (when N=N(x) and A=A(x), x being the parameter along the rod considered), formula (6.9) must be applied only to an element of the bar with an infinitely small length dx (Fig. 6.10). Since such an element has an infinitely small length dx, the variation of the cross sectional area A and/or that of the axial internal force N may be neglected along the element considered, formula (6.9) becoming available. Thus, in the case of the bar shown in Fig. 6.10, we may write the deformation of the element of length dx as: N x

Axial loading
Example 6.1 For the rod shown in Fig. 6.11, draw the axial force diagram, determine the required diameter d and the total displacement of point 1, knowing that the allowable normal stress for the involved material is a= 150 MPa and the modulus of elasticity is E = 2,1 105 MPa. Considering the free body of rod 1,2,3,B, we note that the reaction at B is : YB = 250 kN. It follows that: N1-2 = 125 kN = constant; N2-3 = 125 kN = constant; N3-B = 125 + 125 = = 250 kN = constant. The axial force diagram has been represented in Fig. 6.11. To determine the required diameter d so that the rod would not fail under the specified loading, we must use the condition (6.7): max a. The maximum value of normal stresses along the rod considered may be established only after the computation of normal stress for each particular portion of the rod. We write therefore: Fig. 6.11

Example 6.2 The rigid bar BCD is supported by two vertical rods 1 and 2 (Fig. 6.12). The two rods are made of steel with E = 2,1 105 MPa and a=150 MPa. For the 76,5 kN force shown, determine the required diameters of the two rods (d1 and d2) and the vertical displacement of point C.

From similar triangles, we may finally find that the vertical displacement of point C is CC"= 0,792 mm. Example 6.3 Two rods of uniform circular cross-sections BC and BD support a 30 kN vertical force (Fig. 6.15). Knowing that the allowable stress of the rods material is a = 150 MPa and E = 2,1 105 MPa, determine the required values of the diameters d1 and d2 and the vertical displacement of point B. From the geometry of the structure shown in Fig. 6.15 one can find that the lengths of the two rods are respectively:

Passing a cross-section through each of the two rods, the two corresponding internal axial forces N1 and N2 are revealed. From the mechanical equilibrium of point B we have (Fig. 6.16):

It is to be observed that, although the concentrated load P acts vertically, due to the lack of symmetry of the system considered, the point B displaces along direction BB’ which is not vertical. In the same time, the deformation of the two rods, 1 and 2, are revealed by sketching a perpendicular line from the initial position of point B to the two rods after deformations (although the method is approximate, it models with a sufficient accuracy the deformations of such bars when the hypothesis of small deformations is available). Using the same hypothesis of small deformations, we may also consider that, after deformation, the two rods 1 and 2 form with the vertical direction the same angles of 60 and 50 respectively. Assuming that the angle between BB’ and the vertical direction is , we may write (Fig. 6.17):

6.2 POISSON'S RATIO When a homogeneous slender bar is axially loaded, the resulting stress and strain satisfy the Hooke’s law as long as the elastic limit of the material is not exceeded.

Assuming that the load P is directed along the x axis (Fig. 6.21a), we have where A is the cross-sectional area of the bar, and from Hooke’s law: X
x
,
x
= P A,
(6.13)
E
where E is the modulus of elasticity of the material. We do also note that the normal stresses on faces respectively perpendicular to the y and z axes are zero: y = z = 0 (Fig. 6.21b). It would be tempting to conclude that the corresponding strains y and z are also zero. This, however, is not the case. In all engineering materials, the elongation produced by an axial tensile force P in the direction of the force is accompanied by a contraction in any transverse direction (Fig. 6.22). 98
Axial loading
Since the material under consideration is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic, the strain must have the same value for any transverse direction: . This value is referred to as the lateral strain. The absolute value of the ratio of the lateral strain over the axial strain is called Poisson’s ratio, denoted by the Greek letter . We write: y
Fig. 6.22 y

x

For the loading condition represented in Fig. 6.21, an increase of dimension along the x axis, means a decrease of transverse dimensions, so that we have: . y

6.3 STRESS CONCENTRATIONS The exact computation methods of the theory of elasticity and the experimental photoelastic methods show that, for members in tension or compression having a variable cross section, the corresponding normal stresses are not uniformly distributed over the cross sections. Therefore, Bernoulli’s hypothesis does loose its validity. When a structural member contains a discontinuity, such as a hole or a sudden change of the cross section, high localized stresses may also occur near the discontinuity. Fig. 6.23 and 6.24 show the distribution of stresses at the level of the critical sections corresponding to two such cases.
Fig. 6.23
Fig. 6.24
100
Axial loading
The ratio between the maximum stress ( max) and the average stress ( ave) computed at the level of the critical (narrowest) section of the involved discontinuity is called the stress - concentration factor: max k
.
(6.20)
ave
It is to be noted that the average stress ( ave) is computed with the basic formula (6.6) while the maximum stress ( max) represents the real maximum stress occured due to the stress-concentration phenomenon. To determine the maximum stress occurring near a discontinuity in a given member in tension or compression, the designer needs only to compute the average stress ave = P A in the critical section and multiply the result obtained by the appropriate value of the stress concentration factor k. On the other hand, the stress-concentration factor is given in form of tables or graphs, as shown in Fig. 6.25 for the two cases represented in Fig. 6.23 and Fig. 6.24.
Fig. 6.25
It is also to be noted that the above presented procedure remains valid only if max does not exceed the proportional limit of the involved material (the concept of proportional limit of a material will be explained later).

6.4 OWN WEIGHT EFFECT. MEMBERS OF CONSTANT STRENGTH As we saw in the preceding sections, the strength calculus for different types of members in tension or compression does neglect the own weight of the members. This procedure remains valid only if the length of the involved members has low values. Otherwise, if the length of the members has important values, the own weight cannot be neglected. Consider for example a homogeneous rod BC of length and uniform cross-sectional area A, which is suspended from B, hanging under its own weight, (Fig. 6.26). Let us also assume that the rod material specific weight is . is defined as the ratio between the weight G and the corresponding volume of the material, V. We may Fig. 6.26 write therefore: G

(6.26)
where G is the total weight of the involved rod. We note that the rod shown in Fig. 6.26 has a constant cross-section. It follows from (6.22) that the normal stress is maximum at section B. 103
Strength of Materials
Fig. 6.28
Fig. 6.27
This means that only at B, the rod can be dimensioned in a proper way, all other cross-sections having bigger dimensions than necessary. This is the reason why the engineers have tried to design a bar so that each cross-section of the bar to be equally loaded (i.e. at every cross-section of the bar the normal stress has the same value). Thus the concept of MEMBERS OF CONSTANT STRENGTH has arisen. Obviously, such a member of constant strength must have a continue variable cross section, increasing from the lower end to the upper end (Fig. 6.27). At distance x from end 1, the cross-sectional area is A(x). The problem is to determine the mathematical expression of the function A(x), finding in this way the cross-sectional area variation mode along the involved member. Let us now consider again the member shown in Fig. 6.27. We denote by G(x) the weight of the member portion of length x. We do also consider two cross-sections (mn and m'n') at an infinite small distance dx from each other (Fig. 6.28). The cross-sectional area increases from mn to m'n' with an infinite small quantity dA(x). At the level of the cross-section mn we may write: x
N x
P
A x
G x

Recalling that a member of constant strength must have the same stress at each particular cross-section (equal to a) we write: x

and thus A x

(6.28)
Applying formula (6.28) for the cross-section m'n' (for which the area is increased with dA(x) and the weight of the lower member portion with dG(x)) we have: 104

Although the relation (6.33) insures the condition of equal strength, such a member is enough complicated from the technological point of view. A much more practical solution is shown in Fig. 6.28. We may observe that the member shown in Fig. 6.29 has three distinct portions of cross-sectional areas A1, A2, A3 and lengths 1, 2, 3 respectively. For each portion the maximum stress is to be reached at the upper end. For the first portion we may write: A1 1

6.5 STRESS-STRAIN DIAGRAM 6.5.1 GENERALITIES Although apparently simple, the tensile tests of the material provide the strength of materials with necessary and useful information. It is to be noted that, the strength of a material is not the only criterion that must be considered in engineering design. The stiffness of a material is frequently of equal importance. On the other hand, the mechanical properties such as hardness, toughness and ductility are generally those which determine the selection of a certain material within a certain engineering context. These properties are determined by making tests on the materials and comparing the results with established standards. Although a complete description of these tests is the province of materials testing and hence will not be 107
Strength of Materials
given here, one of the tests (the tension test of steel) and its results will be considered because it helps to develop several important basic concepts. The tensile tests stress-strain diagram represents the graphical visualization of the relation between stress and strain in a given material, being a very important characteristic of the material. To obtain the stress-strain diagram of a material, one usually conducts a tensile test on a specimen made of that material. One type of specimen commonly used is shown in Fig. 6.30. In a tensile test, the specimen is gripped between the jaws of a testing machine (Fig. 6.31). Before the applying of the tensile load P, two marks are inscribed on the specimen (k and k’ - Fig. 6.30), at a distance 0 from each other. After the specimen is placed in the testing machine, as the load P increases, the distance between the two marks does Fig. 6.30 also increase. At a given moment “i”, the axial force at any cross-section of the cylindrical portion of the specimen is Ni (equal to P), while the distance between k and k’ is i. This means that, at any moment, we have two values: - the axial force in the involved specimen Ni = P; - the instant distance between the two marks k and k’. The distance i is measured with a dial gage and the elongation i = i -0 is recorded for each value of P. We then convert each pair of readings (Ni and i) at a certain moment “ i” into the instant normal stress and strain of the member as

Plotting these data on a graph with the ordinate representing the stress i and the abscissa representing the strain i of the specimen at different moments throughout the test, we obtain the diagram called the stress-strain diagram. Fig. 6.32 represents such a graph for structural steel. The diagram obtained by plotting the stress versus the strain, reflects the behavior of the involved material. It is to be mentioned that the following conditions have to be fulfilled within a tensile test: - the specimen must have a constant cross section; - the material must be homogeneous; - the load must be axial, Fig. 6.32 i.e. produces uniform stress. Finally, note that since strain represents a change in length divided by the original length, strain is a dimensionless quantity. However, it is common to use units of meters per meter (m / m) or millimeters per millimeter (mm/mm) when referring to strain. In engineering work, strains of the order of 1 10-3 are frequently encountered. The main points and concepts developed from the stress-strain curve (Fig. 6.32) are: The proportional limit (P) represents the maximum value of the stress p up to which the stress is directly proportional to the strain . From the origin O up to the proportional limit, the stress-strain diagram is a straight line. We may write: =E
(6.40)
,
a relation known as Hooke’s law, after the English mathematician Robert Hooke. The quantity E is called the modulus of elasticity of the material involved, or Young’s modulus. The elastic limit (E) represents the stress e up to which the material will return
Fig. 6.33 109
Strength of Materials
to its original shape when unloaded; The yield limit (Y) is the stress y at which there is an appreciable elongation or yielding of the material without any corresponding increase of the load. However, the phenomenon of yielding is peculiar to structural steel; other grades of steel and steel alloys or other materials do not possess it, as is indicated by the typical stressstrain curves of these materials shown in Fig. 6.33. The yield strength is closely associated with the yield point. The ultimate stress, or ultimate strength ( u) as it is more commonly called, is the highest ordinate on the stress-strain curve. The rupture strength ( r) is the stress at failure. For structural steel it is somewhat lower that the ultimate strength because the rupture strength is computed by dividing the rupture load by the original cross-sectional area, which, although convenient is incorrect. The error is caused by a phenomenon known as necking. As failure occurs, the material stretches very rapidly and simultaneously narrows down, as shown in Fig. 6.34, so that the rupture load is actually distributed over a smaller area.
Fig. 6.34
If the rupture area is measured after failure occurs, and divided into the rupture load, the result is a truer value of the actual failure stress. Although this is considerably higher than the ultimate strength, the ultimate strength is commonly taken as the maximum stress of the material.
6.5.2 SAFETY COEFFICIENTS. ALLOWABLE STRENGTHS The working stress, also called the allowable stress, is the maximum safe stress a material may carry. In design the allowable stress all should be limited to values not exceeding the proportional limit so as not to invalidate the stress-strain relation of Hooke’s law on which all subsequent theory is based. However, since the proportional limit is difficult to determine accurately, it is customary to base the allowable stress on either the yield point or the ultimate strength, divided by a suitable number c, called the factor of safety (or the safety coefficient): y a
or
c
u a
.
(6.41)
c
The determination of the factor of safety which should be used for various applications is one of the most important engineering tasks. On the one hand, if a factor of safety is chosen too small, the possibility of failure becomes unacceptably large; on the other hand, if a factor of safety is chosen unnecessarily large, the result 110
Axial loading
is an uneconomical or nonfunctional design. The choice of the factor of safety which is appropriate for a given design application requires engineering judgement based on many considerations, such as the following: - variations which occur in material properties; - the number of loadings which may be expected during the life of the structure or machine; - the type of loadings which are planned for in the design, or which may occur in the future; - the type of failure which may occur; - uncertainty due to the methods of analysis; - deterioration which may occur in the future due to poor maintenance or due to unpreventable natural causes; - the importance of a given member to the integrity of the whole structure. For the majority of structural and machine applications, the factors of safety are specified by design specifications or building codes written by committees or experienced engineers working with professional societies, with industries or agencies.
6.6 STATICALLY INDETERMINATE PROBLEMS In the problems considered in the preceding sections, we could always use the conditions of mechanical equilibrium to determine the internal forces produced in the various portions of a member under given loading conditions. But there are many problems, however, in which the internal forces cannot be determined from statics alone (i.e. the equations of static equilibrium are not sufficient for a solution). Such cases are called statically indeterminate and require the use of additional relations that depend on the elastic deformations Fig. 6.35 in the members. The following examples will show how to handle this type of problems. Consider, for example, two rods BC and DC, pin-connected at C and subjected to a vertical concentrated force P, applied at C, Fig. 6.35. The axial forces (N1 and N2) in the two rods may be completely computed from statics alone. We write Fx

from which we obtain the values of N1 and N2. This is a typical example of statically determinate problem. But what happens if another rod EC is attached (Fig. 6.36)? In such a case a part of the internal forces N1 and N2 will be taken over by the supplementary rod EC. So that, the internal forces in the three rods will be N 1' , N 2' and N 3' . We have therefore three unknowns in the problem ( N 1' , N 2' , N 3' ). On the other hand, from statics we can use only two equations of mechanical equilibrium as in the preceding case: Fx
0
and
Fy
0
.
Clearly, the two above equations are not sufficient to determine the three unknown internal forces N 1' , N 2' and N 3' . We have therefore, a statically indeterminate problem. The difference between the number of unknown quantities (3 in this case) and the number of equations available from statics is called the indetermination degree. In our example, the Fig. 6.36 indetermination degree is 1. It is to be noted that 2, 3 or more supplementary rods may be attached to the system shown in Fig. 6.35. In consequence, the indetermination degree will be 2, 3, …etc. Let us now consider another example. A rigid bar is pin-connected at O, and suspended from a vertical rod BC, as shown in Fig. 6.37. Determine the internal axial force N1 in the rod caused by the load P applied at D. Since, from the summation of moments at O, we can determine the value of N1, the problem is statically determinate. We write M

But a supplementary vertical rod B’C’ attached to the system shown in Fig. 6.37, transforms the problem into a statically indeterminate one, Fig. 6.38. This time, we have two unknowns and only a single equilibrium equation available from statics. We write M

Thus the indetermination degree is 1. In the same time the presence of the supplementary attached rod determines the decrease of the original axial 112
Axial loading
force N1 shown in Fig. 6.37. If a new supporting rod is attached, the indetermination degree increases with 1 unit (becoming 2). Such statically indeterminate problems (in which the reactions and the internal forces cannot be determined from statics alone) may be resolved by using adequate additional relations involving deformations which are obtained from the geometry of the problem (as presented below). Several specific types of statically indeterminate problems may be differentiated.
6.6.1 MEMBERS WITH UNHOMOGENEOUS CROSS SECTIONS A rod (1) of length , cross-sectional area A1, and modulus of elasticity E1, has been placed inside a tube (2) of the same length, but of a cross sectional area A2 and modulus of elasticity E2, as shown in Fig 6.39. Determine the internal forces in the two members when the load P is applied through a rigid plate as shown. We denote by N1 and N2 the unknown axial forces in the two involved members. The single equation which may be written from statics is: N1
N
P
2
.
(6.42)
Clearly, one equation is not sufficient to determine the two unknown internal forces N1 and N2.. Thus, the problem is statically indeterminate. However, the geometry of the problem shows that the two members have the same axial deformation. We may write, therefore Fig. 6.39

The above presented example may be also extended to the general case shown in Fig 6.40, where a member is composed of other "n" members, all being subjected to a concentrated load, applied through a rigid plate. Denoting by N1, N2,...,Nn the unknown axial forces in the n members we may write N1 + N2 + N3 +...+ Nn = P
113
(6.45)
Strength of Materials
But one equation (written from statics) is not sufficient to determine the n unknown axial forces. The problem is (n-1) degree statically indeterminate. However, since the axial deformations of the n members have the same value, we may also write another (n-1) supplementary equations as follows: 1

Equations (6.45) and (6.46) may be solved for N1, N2, N3,...,Nn. Numerical example A rod (1) with a variable circular cross section has been placed inside a tube (2) of the same length . The rod is made of steel with E E 1 2 ,1 10 5 MPa while the tube is made of aluminum with E E 2 0 , 7 10 5 MPa . The two members are compressed by a concentrated load P acting through a rigid plate, as shown in Fig. 6.41. Draw the axial forces and normal stresses diagrams for the two members.
Fig. 6.41 Denoting by N1 and N2, respectively, the axial forces in the rod and in the tube, we may write from statics (6.47) N1 N 2 P . The geometry of the problem shows that the axial deformations of the two members are equal. We write therefore: 1

6.6.2 STRAIGHT MEMBERS FIXED AT BOTH ENDS A horizontal member BC is fixed at its both ends before the external axial concentrated force P is applied. The member is of length , uniform cross section of area A, and modulus of elasticity E (Fig. 6.43). Compute the stresses corresponding to the portions B-1 and 1-C due to the application of load P at point 1?

6.6.3 SYSTEMS OF PARALLEL MEMBERS A horizontal rigid bar B1...Bn+1 is suspended from "n" vertical members (bars) as shown in Fig. 6.46. Determine the internal axial forces for the n bars and for the loading shown. Since from statics there are only two equations available ( F 0 M 0 ) the problem is and statically indeterminate (the indetermination degree being "n-2" ). Due to the action of the vertical concentrated forces P1, P2,..., Pn the rigid bar displaces vertically and rotates with a certain angle as shown in Fig. 6.46. We denote by ' ' ' B 1 , B 2 ,..., B n 1 the displaced Fig. 6.46. positions of points B1, B2,..,Bn+1. ' ' Since the bar B1 B2 B3... Bn+1 is rigid, points B 1 , B 2 , B 3' ,..., B n' 1 lie in a straight line. In the same time the vertical displacements of the supporting points B2, B4, Bi+1,...,Bn+1 coincide with the elongations of the vertical bars 1, 2 , 3, ...n respectively. This is why, the geometry of the problem lets us write other n-2 relations among 1 , 2 ,..., n , and, thus n-2 relations among N 1 , N 2 , N 3 ,..., N n . In this way, n distinct equations may be written among the axial forces in the n vertical bars: N 1 , N 2 , N 3 ,..., N n . Solving this system we reach to the values of N 1 , N 2 , N 3 ,..., N n as functions of the external applied loads P1, P2, ...,Pn. The normal stress corresponding to each of the n vertical bars may be then computed using the formula: Y

Knowing that the length of the three vertical bars are 1 = 1 m, 2 = 0,75 m, 3 = 1,25 m respectively, and the allowable stress of the material the bars are made of is a =120 MPa, determine the required value of the diameter d if a concentrated force P = 180 kN is applied at K.

6.6.5 PROBLEMS INVOLVING STRESSES PRODUCED BY ASSEMBLING IMPERFECTIONS 121
Strength of Materials
Let us consider a straight bar of uniform cross-section of area A and modulus of elasticity E. This bar has to be fixed between two supporting points B and C as shown in Fig. 6.50a. During the assembling process it comes out that the bar is shorter than necessary with a small quantity .
a.
b. Fig. 6.50
To fix the bar B'C' between points B and C, one must pull with an external axial force N until point C' reaches the position C. Only at that moment the assembly is possibly. But, at that moment, we find an internal axial force in the bar, which is equal to N. The necessary axial force used for the compensation of the imperfection is: N
N

.
(6.65)
We may write that, the normal stress in the bar due to the compensation of the assembling imperfection is N A
E
.
(6.66)
This assembling normal stress will be then added to the stress resulting from the functional use the bar has been designed for. This is why such assembling stresses are undesirable stresses, in many cases being unknown when starting the operation of the involved member. Numerical example The rigid bar OBCD is supported as shown by three vertical steel roads 1, 2 and 3 (with the crosssectional areas A 1 100 mm 2 , A 2 150 mm 2 and A 3 300 mm 2 respectively and E 2 ,1 10 5 MPa ) and pin connected at point O. The vertical rods have the same length l 3 m . During the assembling it comes out that a clearance exists between the supporting point D and the end of the rod 3, Fig. 6.51. Knowing that 0 , 6 mm and a 1 m determine the normal stresses in the three rods and the rotation angle of the rigid bar OBCD if the imperfection is removed.
122
Axial loading
The clearance is compensated by pulling downward from point D and pulling upward from the end F of rod 3, such as point D displaces to D' with quantity y while point F displaces to D' with quantity 3 . When points D and F are pin connected at D', the three vertical rods 1, 2 and 3 will be in tension, the internal axial forces in the three rods being N1, N2 and N3 respectively. Since the compensated clearance is a very small quantity the geometry of the system will not change essentially, the points B, C and D displacing vertically to Fig. 6.51 B', C' and D' respectively. In the same time, since the bar OBCD is rigid, points O, B', C' and D' will be in a straight line after compensation of . Considering the free body of bar OBCD, from statics we may write: M

6.6.6 PROBLEMS INVOLVING TEMPERATURE CHANGES The mechanical structures elements which have been considered so far were assumed to remain at the same temperature while being loaded. We shall now consider the situation involving changes in temperature. Let us consider for example a homogeneous member BC, of length 0 and uniform cross section, fixed at its both ends as shown in the figure below. If the member temperature is raised by t the member tends to elongate with the quantity
0
t
,
(6.70)
where is a constant characteristic of the material, called the coefficient
Fig. 6.52

of thermal expansion (expressed in C ). Since the member BC is fixed at its both ends, it cannot elongate, the supports exerting equal and opposite axial forces N on the member after the temperature has been raised, to keep it from elongating (Fig. 6.53). It follows that a state of stress occurs in the member. Since N cannot be computed from statics, the problem is statically indeterminate (the indetermination degree being 1). Fig. 6.53 To compute the unknown value of reaction N, we detach the member from its support at C (Fig. 6.54a) and let it elongate freely as it undergoes the temperature change t (Fig. 6.54b). Equation (6.70) tells that, in such conditions, the member elongates with the quantity
124
0
t
.
Axial loading
After the elongation has been produced we may return to the original state of Fig. 6.53 by applying the force N at point C and making the elongation become zero again, (Fig. 6.54c). From Fig. 6.54b,c we may write

7. SHEARING STRESSES IN MEMBERS OF SMALL CROSS SECTIONS
Bolts, pins, rivets and welds used within different machine components and technical systems are considered pieces of small dimensions, providing certain simplifying assumptions in Strength of Materials calculus. In many cases, these elements are subjected to transverse forces, as shown in Fig. 7.1.
Fig. 7.1
If the distance e between the two shearing forces application points 1 and 2 is too small, the bending moment at any cross section between the two points may be neglected, and thus the single internal force in the member remaining the shearing force T = P. The shearing force T determines the development of the shearing stresses at any cross section of the member considered (between points 1 and 2). Shearing stresses are commonly found in bolts, pins, rivets and welds used to connect various structural members and machine components. Consider for example, the two plates B and C, connected by a rivet as shown in Fig. 7.2. Due to the action of the opposite forces P, the cross section FG of the rivet is sheared by a shearing force T equal to P. The analysis of riveted, bolted and welded connections involve so many indeterminate factors that exact computation solutions are impossible. Nevertheless, by making certain Fig. 7.2 simplifying assumptions, we can easily obtain practical solutions.
Strength of Materials
7.1 SHEARING STRESS AND SHEARING STRAIN Let us consider for example, a current cross section of a member subjected to shear. The shearing force T may have a certain orientation in the section considered, as shown in Fig.7.3. The shearing force T may be resolved into two components Tz and Ty, acting along the axes Oz and Oy respectively. Due to the action of Tz and Ty at the level of an arbitrary element of area dA the shearing stresses xz and xy develop. For the entire cross section considered, the following relations may be written: xy d A T y ; A xz d A T z . A
(7.1)
The actual distribution of the shearing stresses in the section considered is therefore statically indeterminate. However, since the rivets, bolts and welds are in general components of small dimensions, we may assume that the shearing stresses are uniformly distributed over any cross section.
Fig. 7.3
This means that we may write: xy constant
;
xz constant

(7.5)
Shearing Stresses in Members of Small Cross Sections
where A is the cross-sectional area (associated with the area of the plane surface shown in Fig. 7.3) and a – the allowable value of the involved material shearing stress. In general: a= (0,5 0,8) a. (7.6) Relation (7.5) may be used for all three types of strength of materials characteristic problems: - dimensioning problems; - checking problems; - calculus of the allowable external loads. It should be emphasized that the value obtained by using the relation (7.4) is an average value of the shearing stress over the entire section. As we shall see later, the actual value of the shearing stress varies from zero at the surface of the member to a maximum value max which may be much larger than the average value. Nevertheless, the accuracy obtained using the relation (7.4) is sufficiently high when the cross-sectional areas of the members considered have low values. The shearing strain is not of a great importance in such cases. It consists in fact in a relative displacement v of the sheared cross sections located at distance e from each other, as shown in Fig.7.4. Fig. 7.4 If the material obeys the Hooke’s law, we write (Fig. 7.4): tg

Thus, the relative displacement of the sheared cross sections 1 and 2 is: v

where T is the shearing force, e is the distance between the applied external forces, G is the shear modulus while A represents the cross-sectional area of the involved member.
7.2 STRENGTH OF A SIMPLE RIVETED JOINT The rivet shear is produced at those sections where it withstands the relative displacement tendency of the joined elements, as shown in Fig.7.5. We may observe that the shearing force at the rivet sheared cross section T equals P. The allowable maximum applied force P is therefore: 137

7.3 BEARING STRESS IN CONNECTIONS A rivet (pin, bolt etc.) is also subjected to bearing stresses. Consider for example the three plates of thickness t connected by a rivet as shown in Fig. 7.6. Since there are two sheared cross –sections in this case, the rivet is said to be in double shear. The contact between the rivet and the joined elements develops on half –cylinder surfaces as shown in Fig. 7.6 Fig. 7.7.
Fig. 7.7
Fig. 7.8
Since the actual distribution of the contact forces – and of the corresponding stresses- is quite complicated (Fig. 7.8), one uses in practice an average nominal value b of the stress, called the bearing stress, obtained by dividing the load by the area of the rectangle representing the projection of the rivet on the plate section (Fig. 7.9) 138
Shearing Stresses in Members of Small Cross Sections
Since this area is equal to t d in the case of element 2 (for example) of Fig. 7.7 (Fig. 7.9), where t is the plate thickness and d the diameter of the rivet, we write:
b
P
A
P
(7.9)
.
t d
Fig. 7.9
This value has to be equal to or less than b a (the allowable value of the involved material bearing stress). We write therefore:
b
P td
b a
.
(7.10)
In conclusion, a rivet has to be designed considering two important matters: the shearing stress and the bearing stress. Both computed stresses must be equal to or less than the allowable corresponding stress values, so that the involved structure would not fail under the action of external loads.
7.4 WELDED CONNECTIONS The reliability of welded connections has increased to the point where they are used extensively to supplement or replace riveted or bolted connections in structural and machine design. It is frequently more economical to fabricate a member by welding simple component parts together than to use a complicated casting. Welding is a method of joining metals by fusion. With heat from either an electric arc or an oxyacetilene torch, the metal at the joint is melted and fuses with additional metal from a welding rod. When cool, the weld material and the base material form a continuous and almost homogeneous joint. To protect the weld from excessive oxidation, a heavily coated welding rod is used that releases an inert gas that envelopes the arc stream; this technique is called the shielded arc process. The welded connections offer several important advantages: - the connected members strength is not diminished through additional drilling 139
Strength of Materials
like the riveted or bolted connections do; - the welded connections require a relatively simple technological process, leading to a low price of the manufacturing; - the maintenance technological process require a minimum effort. Here are the main types of welds: a) Butt welds (Fig. 7.10) In such a case, the weld is subjected to tension, the normal stress being computed with the formula:
P (b 2t ) t
(7.11)
.
We note that a length b – 2t is used instead of b. This happens due to the technological flaws, which usually occur at the two ends of the weld. The strength condition is therefore:

P (b 2t ) t
a w
(7.12)
,
where a w represents the allowable stress of the weld, usually taken to be:
a w
0 ,8

In the 45 fillet weld (Fig. 7.11), with the leg equal to t, the shearing area through the throat is the length of weld b times the throat depth. Considering the real length of the weld (as specified above) equal to b 2a, the two welds shearing stress is (Fig. 7.11): w

8. BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY
The examples of the previous sections were limited to members under axial loading and connections under transverse loading. Most structural members and machine components are under more involved loading conditions. Even in the case of members under axial or transverse loading, the normal and shearing stresses on planes which are not perpendicular to the axis of the involved members, obey complex and difficult mathematical and physical matters. This is why, before going further, we have to understand several important basic elements concerning the theory of elasticity. They will help us to go deeper inside the investigated mechanical elements or machine components and to find reasonable answers to the problems of Strength of Materials.
8.1 PLANE STATE OF STRESS Every elastic body is spatial and, in general, every external loads system is spatial. Hence, strictly speaking, any strength of materials problem (or elasticity problem) is a spatial problem. For its solution, we have to consider all the components of stress, strain and displacement. However, if the body has a particular shape and the external loads are distributed in a particular manner, we may consider the spatial problem as a plane one and neglect some of the components. This will greatly simplify the mathematical aspect of solution while the results may still be applied in engineering design with sufficient accuracy. Let us now consider a thin plate of uniform thickness, subjected to loads acting within the plate middle plane as shown in Fig. 8.1. In such a case the thin plate is Fig. 8.1 said to be in a plane stress condition. From the thin plate we isolate an infinitely small element in shape of a prism (Fig. 8.2). For convenience the plate dimension (or that of the infinitely small element considered) in the Oz direction is taken to be unity. The problem which arises consists in the determination of stresses at the arbitrary point O of the plate, on planes which are perpendicular to the plate middle
Strength of Materials
plane. In other words, we have to determine the normal and shearing stresses on arbitrary planes BCB’C’ inclined with angle with respect to the Oy axis, as shown in Fig. 8.2. We assume the elementary area of the rectangular surface BCB’C’ to be equal to dA. While the stresses acting on surface BCB’C’ differ slightly from the stresses at O, the error involved is small and vanishes as sides OB and OC approach zero.
Fig. 8.2
On the other hand, due to the action of the external loads P1, P2,...,Pn, normal and shearing stresses develop on the faces OBO’B’, OCO’C’ and BCB’C’ of the element shown in Fig. 8.2. These stresses are in fact a direct consequence of the interaction between the element and the surrounding material of the plate. For convenience, the element OBCO’B’C’ has been represented in Fig. 8.3 in a simplified manner. In Fig. 8.3, since the plane BC approaches point O, the stress acting on BC will become the stress acting on the inclined plane considered passing through the point O. Now assuming to know the values of stresses acting on the planes OB and OC (i.e. σy, τyx, σx, τxy ), we shall determine the stresses σ and τ on the inclined plane BC. From the summation of Fig. 8.3 moments about point D (Fig. 8.3) we write:

A simple analysis of relations (8.1’’) tells us that the normal and the shearing stresses σ and τ on surface BCB’C’ inclined with angle α (and thus the normal and the shearing stresses at point O about a surface parallel to BCB’C’) are functions of angle α. One could ask: which are the values of angle α that make these quantities (σ and τ) maximum or minimum? These values may be found by differentiating (8.1’’) with respect to α and setting the derivatives equal to zero. dσ

In other words, the two values of α (α1 and α2) do give us two perpendicular directions in the plane about which the normal stress σ has extreme values (a maximum value σ1 with respect to one direction and a minimum value σ2 with respect to the other one). The two extreme stresses σ1 and σ2 are thus perpendicular to each other. They may be obtained by substituting α from (8.3) into the expression of σ from (8.1’’). This gives

The two extreme normal stresses are called principal stresses, while the corresponding directions (given by α1 and α2) are called principal directions. Returning now to the second equation of (8.1’’), differentiating it with respect to α and setting the derivative equal to zero, we have dτ dα

In other words, on planes coinciding with the principal directions, the shearing stress τ is zero. Returning now to the original thin plate of Fig. 8.2, we may facilitate the visualization of the stress condition at point O by considering an infinitely small cube of different orientations, centered at O and the stresses exerted on each of the lateral faces of the cube, (Fig. 8.4). For a certain orientation of the cube B1B2B3B4 (given by the two perpendicular directions 1 and 2) the stresses acting on the Fig. 8.4 lateral faces of the cube reduce to the principal normal stresses σ1 and σ2, while the corresponding shearing stresses become zero (Fig. 8.4). Rotating this cube by 45o within the plate plane, we get to the cube C1C2C3C4 on whose lateral faces act both the extreme values of the shearing stress ( τ max
σ1 σ 2 2
) and the normal stresses denoted by σ3 and σ4. In other words, on
147
Strength of Materials
planes corresponding to the action of the extreme shearing stresses, the normal stresses do not become zero.
8.2 SPATIAL STATE OF STRESS Consider now a body subjected to several external loads P1, P2,…,Pi, Pn in mechanical equilibrium (Fig. 8.5). To understand the stress condition created by these loads at some arbitrary point O within the body, we isolate an infinitely small element in form of a parallelepiped, with its edges parallel to the coordinate axes and having the lengths dx, dy and dz (Fig. 8.6a). We sketch this element at a larger scale (Fig. 8.6b). Generally speaking, the Fig. 8.5 stress components acting on the element faces are functions of x, y and z. Thus, the stress components on a pair of parallel faces are not equal but differ by a differential quantity.

For instance, if the average normal stress component on a face is σx, then, that on the parallel face, due to the variation of x, will be σ

Basic elements of the theory of elasticity
Applying the same reasoning like in the preceding section, one could find a certain spatial orientation of the element considered, so that the shearing stresses on the element faces to be zero and, hence, the corresponding normal stresses to become the principal stresses σ1, σ2 and σ3 (Fig. 8.7). One could demonstrate that the principal stresses σ1, σ2 and σ3 (where σ 1 σ 2 σ 3 ) may be computed as the real roods of equation

We get to this result letting dx, dy and dz approach zero (Fig. 8.6b), so that the element in form of a parallelepiped is contracted to point O. Using the same analogy we may also reach to the expressions of the extreme shearing stresses: τ 1 ,2

These shearing stresses correspond to the planes passing through each of the principal axes of stress and bisecting the right angle between the other two principal axes of stress. Thus we see that: the magnitude of the largest shearing stress is equal to half the difference between the largest and the smallest principal stresses; the largest shearing stress acts on the plane bisecting the angle between these two principal stresses and passing through the line of action of the third principal stress. 149

8.3 MONOAXIAL (UNIAXIAL) STATE OF STRESS With the above presented concepts in mind, we may now return to the monoaxial state of stress. This is in fact a plane state of stress for which σ

Let us consider again the case of a member under axial loading (Fig. 8.8).
a.
b. Fig. 8.8
From this member we detach an infinitely small element in shape of a prism and, for convenience, we represent it in plane, separately (Fig. 8.8b). This element is in fact the one represented in Fig. 8.3, making σy = τyx = τxy= 0. We note therefore that the conditions of stress in the member may be described as shown in Fig. 8.8b. The only stresses exerted on the face OC of the prism (which is perpendicular to the x axis) are the normal stresses σx. However, on planes inclined with an angle α, normal and shearing stresses (σ, τ) develop. We thus conclude that the same loading condition may lead to different interpretations of the stress condition at a given point, depending upon the orientation of the plane BC (Fig. 8.8b).

acting on a plane inclined at 45o with Oy axis (α = 45o, Fig. 8.8).
8.4 PURE SHEAR STATE Let us assume that a pure state of stress exists at an arbitrary point O of a body subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium. In such a case σx= σy = 0, the pure state of stress being defined by the stress components τxy= τyx as shown in Fig. 8.9. Using equation (8.3’) tg 2 α 1 , 2

In other words, this means that a pure shear state is equivalent to a state of stress consisting in a tensile stress σ1 and a compressive stress σ2 of the same magnitude (σ1=τxy; σ2 = -τxy). The principal stresses σ1 and σ2 act on planes inclined at 45o and 135o with Ox axis as shown in Fig. 8.9.
8.5 GENERALIZED HOOKE’S LAW First of all we have to recall that, for a member in tension or compression which undergoes small deformations, involving only the straight-line portion of the corresponding stress-strain diagram, the Hooke’s law may be written in its simple form as follows: E
151
.
(8.16)
Strength of Materials
As mentioned in the preceding sections, E is called the modulus of elasticity of the material involved. In other words, the validity of such a law means that the stress σ is directly proportional to the strain ε. In the same manner, for values of the shearing stress (τ) which do not exceed the proportional limit in shear (in case of members subjected to shear) the Hooke’s law for shearing stress and strain may be written as G
,
(8.17)
where G is called the shear modulus of the material involved. If a rectangular coordinate system Oxyz is being used, the quantities in the above two relations may become σx, σy, σz, εx, εy, εz, τxy, τxz, τyz, γxy, γxz, γyz and x y z xy xz yz

Let us now consider a body (made of a homogeneous isotropic material) subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium P1, P2,…, Pk, Pn (Fig. 8.10a).
a.
b. Fig. 8.10
We assume that the most general state of stress occurs within the body, due to the action of the external loads. 152
Basic elements of the theory of elasticity
This means that, if we isolate an elementary parallelepiped from the body, with its edges parallel to the coordinate axes, normal and shearing stresses develop on each face of such a parallelepiped (Fig. 8.10b). For convenience, the variation of stresses from one face to the other parallel face has been neglected. Let us now consider first only the effect of the stress component σx (Fig. 8.11).
Fig. 8.11
We recall that σx causes a normal strain to

Combining the results obtained, we may write that the components of strain corresponding to a multiaxial loading of the parallelepiped involved (the state in which only the normal stresses σx, σy and σz act, being all different from zero is referred to as a multiaxial loading – Fig. 8.12) are

(8.22)
These relations are referred to as the generalized Hooke’s law. They are valid only as long as the stresses do not exceed the proportional limit, and as long as the deformations involved remain small. It is important to mention again that a positive value for a normal stress component signifies tension, while a negative value signifies compression. We are now in the position to complete the generalized Hooke’s law corresponding to the state of stress of the parallelepiped sketched in Fig. 8.10b, by adding the shearing strains γxy, γxz, and γyz

as follows (Fig. 8.13):

We conclude therefore that relations (8.22) and (8.23) represent the complete form of the generalized Hooke’s law for a homogeneous isotropic material. For a plane state of stress (σz = 0, τxz= τyz = 0) the generalized Hooke’s law becomes:

A simple examination of the relations (8.22) and (8.23) might lead us to believe that three distinct constants E, G and ν must first be determined experimentally, if we are to predict the deformation caused in a given material by an arbitrary combination of stresses. Actually, only two of these constants need to be 154
Basic elements of the theory of elasticity
determined experimentally for any given material. But this will be discussed later, when a relation among E, G and ν will be found.

8.6 STRAIN ENERGY Consider a solid deformable body subjected to several external loads P1, P2,…, Pk, Pn in mechanical equilibrium (Fig. 8.14). If the loads applied increase slowly from 155

zero up to their nominal values, the loads application points A, B, K, N displace to different positions A', B', K', N' respectively, an external work L being done in this way (Fig. 8.14).
Fig. 8.14
The work done by the applied loads P1, P2,…,Pk, Pn must result in the increase of some energy associated with the deformation of the body. This energy is referred to as the strain energy of the body involved. We denote this energy by U. If the deformations of the body do not exceed the elastic limit of the material, then, the storaged strain energy U will be completely released to the surrounding environment when the external loads P1, P2,…, Pk, Pn are removed. In such a case U is called the elastic strain energy. On the other hand, we may consider that the whole performed external work is completely transformed into strain energy. We write therefore L U

8.6.1 ELASTIC STRAIN ENERGY UNDER AXIAL LOADING Consider a straight rod BC of length , fixed at one end and subjected to an axial external force P as shown in Fig. 8.15. We assume that the rod material obeys the Hooke’s law and the proportional limit is not exceeded. We do also assume that the force P is applied statically (P does slowly Fig. 8.15 increase from zero up to its nominal value, as shown in Fig. 8.16). Since the material does not exceed the proportional limit, during the application of force P, the axial force N in the rod will increase directly proportional to the horizontal displacement u of point C as shown in Fig. 8.17a.
156
Basic elements of the theory of elasticity
When N reaches the value P, the displacement u reaches the final value of the rod elongation Δ. In the same manner the normal stress in the rod, during the application of force P, does slowly increase and directly proportional to the normal strain ε, as shown in Fig. 8.17b.
Fig. 8.16
a.
b. Fig. 8.17
The work done by force P, as the rod elongates is equal to the hachured area located under the force deformation diagram (Fig. 8.17a). We may write therefore:

Work and energy are expressed in the same units, obtained by multiplying units of length by units of force. Thus, if the International System metric units are used, work and energy are expressed in N m , this unit being called a joule (J). Returning now to the relations (8.27) and (8.28), we observe that the strain energy depends upon the dimensions of the rod involved. To eliminate the effect of size and to direct our attention to the properties of the material we shall define the concept of elastic strain energy per unit volume. This quantity is referred to as the elastic strain-energy density and is denoted by U . We write therefore D

8.6.3 STRAIN ENERGY FOR A GENERAL STATE OF STRESS In the preceding sections we have determined the expression of the elastic strain energy of a body under normal and shearing stresses. Let us now consider a body subjected to several external loads in mechanical equilibrium (Fig. 8.19a). 158
Basic elements of the theory of elasticity
We do also assume that the most general state of stress develops in the body due to the action of the external loads. Now we shall isolate an elementary parallelepiped from the body (Fig. 8.19b). In such a case the general state of stress is characterized
a.
b. Fig. 8.19
by the six stress components σx, σy, σz, τxy, τxz, and τyz (for convenience, in Fig. 8.19b, the stresses have been represented only on the visible faces of the elementary parallelepiped considered). If the body behaves linear elastically, the elastic-strain energy density for a general state of stress may be obtained by adding the expressions given within the preceding sections. In this way, the elastic strain-energy density may be expressed as follows: U

9. TORSION
Members in torsion are encountered in many engineering applications, when there is necessary to transmit a twisting couple Mt from one plane to another parallel plane (Fig. 9.1). The twisting couples are also called torques.
Fig. 9.1
These couples (Fig. 9.1) have a common magnitude and opposite senses. A case in which torsion is dominant is provided by the transmission shafts, which are used to transmit power from one point to another, as from a motor to a machine tool, from an engine to the rear axle of an automobile or from a steam turbine to an electric generator, etc. (Fig. 9.2).
Fig. 9.2
These shafts may either be solid (Fig. 9.3a) or they may be hollow (Fig. 9.3b).

If we know the power P which is to be transmitted through the shaft (expressed in horsepowers - HP) and the frequency of the rotation n (number of revolutions per minute - rpm ), one could demonstrate that the twisting couple (or torque) the shaft is subjected to is given by the formula M t

9.1 TORSION OF CIRCULAR MEMBERS 9.1.1 STRESSES AND STRAINS Consider a circular shaft AB of diameter d, subjected to equal and opposite torques Mt , as shown in Fig. 9.4. We pass a section perpendicular to the axis of the shaft through some arbitrary point C.
a.
b. Fig. 9.4
The cross section at C will be subjected to elementary shearing forces dF acting perpendicular to the radius r of the shaft. The elementary shearing force dF developed at the level of an elementary area dA of the cross-section considered, is given by the shearing stress at that level multiplied by the area dA (Fig. 9.4b) 164
Torsion
Expressing that the sum of the moments given by the shearing forces dF with respect to the axis of the shaft is equal in magnitude to the externally applied torque Mt, we have: r dF M t, (9.3) A
where A is the cross-sectional area. Since dF = dA, (9.3) becomes: r dA
(9.4)
M t.
A
While the relation (9.4) gives us an important condition which has to be satisfied by the shearing stresses at any given cross section of the shaft, it does not tell us how these stresses are distributed over the cross section. This means that the problem is statically indeterminate, i.e., the distribution of stresses cannot be determined from statics alone. The integral of (9.4) may be solved only if the shearing stress distribution law is found. In deriving the torsion formulas, we make the following assumptions: - the member in torsion has a constant cross-section; - the member material is continuous, homogeneous and isotropic; - Hooke’s law is available;
a.
b. Fig. 9.5
- the member is loaded by twisting couples in planes that are perpendicular to the axis of the member; - stresses do not exceed the proportional limit. Under the above mentioned assumptions, let us now consider a circular member subjected to torsion (Fig. 9.5). The deformation in the circular member subjected to torsion may be easily illustrated if we trace several parallel circles and straight generatrix lines on the surface of the circular member as shown in Fig. 9.5. When the circular member represented in Fig. 9.5a is subjected to torsion it will 165
Strength of Materials
deform (Fig. 9.5b). Analysing the mode in which the circular member considered does deform under the specified loading, we note that: - when a circular member is subjected to torsion, every cross section remains plane and undistorted; - a straight radial line in the section (for example O1A) remains straight after deformation and rotates with a certain angle ; - the distance between two cross-sections remains unchanged after deformation. This means that x = 0, so that, applying the Hooke`s law, we have: x
0.
(9.5)
- due to the action of Mt the rectangle abcd (Fig. 9.5a) changes into a parallelogram (a`b`c`d` - Fig. 9.5b), the original right angles of abcd modifying with the quantity (the shearing strain). It follows therefore that shearing stresses develop on the faces of the elementary volume a`b`c`d`a``b``c``d`` (Fig. 9.5b). Let us consider now a point C located on the circumference of a given cross section of the circular member in torsion (Fig. 9.6).
Fig. 9.6
As mentioned above, at the level of point C, a shearing stress develops, contained within the cross-sectional plane. We do also assume that has a certain orientation within the cross-sectional plane (Fig. 9.6). But may be resolved into two components ( 1 and 2), respectively tangential to the circumference at C and radial. On the other hand we know that, at a given point, shear cannot take place in one plane only; an equal shearing stress must be exerted on another plane perpendicular to the first one. This means that the shearing stress component 2 will be accompanied by an equal shearing stress 2` acting along Ox direction and located on the external surface of the member (Fig. 9.6). Since this surface is not loaded, 2` = 0 and, therefore, 2 = 2` = 0. 166
Torsion
In other words, the shearing stress at point C will be directed along the tangent to the circumference at C, perpendicular to the radius OC. We assume that this property remains available for any other point of the cross-section (Fig. 9.7). We shall now determine the distribution of the shearing stresses in a given cross section of a circular shaft (Fig. 9.8a).
Fig. 9.7
The shaft of diameter d and length , is attached to a fixed support at one end. When the torque Mt is applied at section O, the shaft will twist with an angle called the angle of twist.
a.
b. Fig. 9.8
Let us now detach from the shaft an element of length dx, located between two cross sections of the shaft (I and II – Fig. 9.8a). We have sketched this element separately (Fig. 9.8b).The element considered is also subjected to torsion by the same torque Mt, the two ends of the element rotating reciprocally with an infinitely small angle of twist d . For convenience, we shall consider that the end II is fixed while the end I rotates with angle d . In this way, an arbitrary point C of the end I will displace to C``, while a point B, located on the same radius, will displace to B``, (Fig. 9.8b). We may write therefore: tg

Equation (9.12) is called the elastic torsion formula. It shows a linear distribution of the shearing stresses over an arbitrary cross-section of a shaft in torsion, (Fig. 9.9). Fig. 9.9 shows the shearing stress distribution in a solid circular shaft for the cross-sectional points located on Oy axis. Due to the symmetry of the cross section, we shall find the same stress distribution for any other cross-sectional points located on the same diameter. The shearing stress at the level of an arbitrary point A of the shaft cross-section is therefore (Fig. 9.9): 168

Even if the formula (9.16) has been derived for a shaft of uniform circular cross section, it may be also used for a shaft of variable cross section (Fig. 9.10a) or for a shaft subjected to torques at locations other than its ends (Fig. 9.10b).

Let us now return for a while to the concept of angle of twist, to derive a relation between this angle and the torque exerted on the shaft (Fig. 9.8a). We recall that the angle of twist per unit length is given by (9.11): M

The relation obtained shows that, within the elastic range, the angle of twist is proportional to the torque Mt applied to the shaft and to the length of the shaft. This relation (9.17') may be used only if the material of the shaft is homogeneous (G = constant), the shaft is loaded only at its ends and has a uniform cross section. If the shaft consist of several portions with various values of the cross sections diameters and /or is subjected to torque at locations other than its ends (Fig. 9.11.), we must divide the shaft into component 170

In other words, the total angle of twist of the shaft represented in Fig. 9.11, i.e. the angle through which end A rotates with respect to end B, is obtained by adding algebraically the angles of twist of each component part. In case of a shaft with a variable circular cross section (Fig. 9.12a), relation (9.17') may be applied only to an element of infinitely small length dx of the shaft. Since such an element has an infinitely small length (dx) we may neglect the variation of its cross section from one end to the other. (Fig. 9.12). This means that we may apply the formula (9.17') for this element, as follows: a.

b. Fig.9.13
Since the shearing stresses over the solid cross sections of circular shafts in torsion have a linear distribution, in many cases one chooses hollow cross sections, thus reducing the own weight of the shafts (Fig. 9.14a). The distribution of the shearing stresses in a hollow cylindrical shaft of inner diameter d and outer diameter D has been represented in Fig. 9.14b. In such cases, the maximum shearing stress does also develop on the circumferential points of the shaft cross section. We may apply therefore the formula (9.14): m ax

where m expresses the ratio d / D. Important remarks Since the shearing stress cannot take place in one plane only (section 4.3), in case of a circular shaft in torsion, a shearing stress must be also exerted on other plane, perpendicular to the first one. This is why the shearing stresses over the shaft cross sections in torsion are always accompanied by equal shearing stresses directed along the shaft (Fig. 9.15). These longitudinal shearing stresses explain the specific longitudinal failure of members in torsion, made of different materials, whose strength is much smaller about longitudinal direction than about normal direction (normal to the axis of the member). This is for example the case of rods made of wood, whose failure takes place longitudinally, along the fibres of the material (Fig. 9.16). Consider now an element a located on the surface of a circular shaft subjected to torsion (Fig. 9.17). As presented above, on the faces of such an element, the only stresses which develop are the shearing stresses max = . 173
Strength of Materials
Fig. 9.15
Fig. 9.16
The element is said to be in pure shear. Another similar element b, located on the same surface but rotated with 45 is subjected to a tensile stress ( 1 = ) over two of its faces and to a compressive stress ( 2 = - ) on the other two faces (see the previous chapter). In general, the ductile materials fail in shear.
Fig.9.17
Therefore, when subjected to torsion, a member made of a ductile material breaks along a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis (Fig. 9.18a). On the other hand, brittle materials are weaker in tension than in shear. Thus, when subjected to torsion
a.
Fig. 9.19
Fig. 9.18
a member made of a brittle material tends to break along surfaces which are b. perpendicular to the direction about which tension is maximum ( 1–Fig. 9.18b), i.e. along surfaces forming a 45 angle with the axis of the member. If a circular shaft subjected to c. torsion presents an abrupt change in the diameter of its cross section, stress concentrations occur within the immediate vicinity of the discontinuity (Fig. 9.19). 174
Torsion
In such cases, the shearing stresses corresponding to the discontinuity area may be NOT computed with the above presented formulas. The maximum shearing stress corresponding to the portion of the shaft with diameter d (and for the immediate vicinity of the discontinuity) - Fig. 9.19, is given by: max
k
n
,
(9.22)
where n is the nominal value of the maximum shearing stress for the portion involved (computed with formula (9.14)), and k is a stress –concentration factor. The stress-concentration factor k is usually given in the form of tables or graphs, as shown in Fig. 9.20.
Fig.9.20
9.1.2 STATICALLY INDETERMINATE SHAFTS The statically indeterminate problems of torsion represent that kind of problems in which the internal torques cannot be determined from statics alone (i.e. the equations of static equilibrium are not sufficient for a solution). In such cases, the equilibrium equations must be complemented by relations involving the deformations of the shaft and obtained by considering the geometry of the problem. The following examples will show how to analyze statically indeterminate shafts. 175
Strength of Materials
Example 1 A shaft AB is attached to fixed supports at both ends and subjected to the torques shown (Fig. 9.21). Knowing that the entire shaft is made of steel for which G = 8 104 MPa and that M0 = 500 N m, d = 30 mm and = 500 mm, determine the maximum value of the shearing stress in the shaft ( max) and the angle of twist of section 1.
Fig.9.21 Due to the action of the two concentrated twisting couples (M0 and 3M0), two reactions develop at the supports (i.e. the torques MA and MB). The single equilibrium equation which may be written from statics is: M

Since this equation is not sufficient to determine the two unknown torques MA and MB , the problem is statically indeterminate. However, MA and MB may be determined if we note that the total angle of twist of shaft AB must be zero, since both of its ends are restrained. We write therefore: 0

9.2 TORSION OF NONCIRCULAR (RECTANGULAR) MEMBERS The formulas presented in the preceding section, for the distribution of strain and stress under a torsional loading apply only to circular members. This happens because the derivation of these formulas has been based upon the assumption that the cross sections of the member in torsion remain plane and undistorted. But this is not the case if the cross sections of the member in torsion are noncircular. For a rectangular member in torsion (for example): the plane and undistorted cross sections of member before deformation do not remain plane and undistorted after deformation, Fig. 9.23. the shearing stresses over the cross sections of a rectangular member in torsion may be not assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the axis of the member. More than that, the shearing stress at the corners of the cross section in such a case is zero. Consider for example a rectangular member in torsion (Fig.9.24). Due to the action of the torque Mt , shearing stresses develop over a current cross section of the Fig. 9.23 member. We detache a small cubic element of the rectangular member in torsion as shown in Fig. 9.24.
Fig. 9.24
We assume that the shearing stress developed on the face of the element considered has an arbitrary orientation within the section. However it may be resolved into two components ( xy and xz) as shown in Fig. 9.24. On the other hand we know that shear 180
Torsion
cannot take place in one plane only; an equal shearing stress must be exerted on another plane perpendicular to the first one. This means that the shearing stress components xy and xz will be accompanied by equal shearing stresses yx and zx respectively acting along the Ox direction. But, since the external surfaces of the member are not loaded, we may write: yx

We conclude that there is no shearing stress at the corners of the cross section of a rectangular member in torsion. The determination of stresses in rectangular members subjected to torsion may be done only through the Theory of Elasticity. Since this determination is not very simple, involving a mathematical reasoning which is beyond the scope of this text, we shall indicate here only the final results concerning the distribution of the shearing stresses over the cross sections of rectangular members in torsion. Consider for example a rectangular member in torsion (Fig. 9.25a).

9.3 THIN-WALLED HOLLOW SHAFTS (TUBES) As discussed in the preceding section, the torsion of noncircular shafts requires advanced mathematical methods. However, a simple approximate solution is possible for the special case of thin-walled hollow shafts. Let us now consider for example a hollow member of noncircular section subjected to torsion (Fig. 9.28a). The computation of the shearing stresses equivalent to the applied torque Mt , requires the following assumptions:
a.
b. Fig. 9.28 185
Strength of Materials
the thickness t of the wall is small compared to the other dimensions of the member in torsion; the thickness t of the wall may vary within a cross section of the member, but remains constant along the axis of the member; the shape of the member cross section is arbitrary; since the thickness of the wall is small compared to the other dimensions of the member in torsion, we may admit that the shearing stresses are uniformly distributed over the wall thickness, but with a certain variation law along the contour of the cross section; since the inner and outer walls of the hollow shaft are free surfaces, the stresses on them are equal to zero. Thus the shearing stress at any point of a cross section of the tube is directed along the tangent to the center line – Fig. 9.28a. This reasoning is similarly to that presented in Fig. 9.6. For the determination of the shearing stress variation law along the center line of the member cross section, we shall detach from the member an element of the wall (121’2’aba’b’ - Fig. 9.28b), bounded by two transverse planes at a distance dx from each other and by two longitudinal planes perpendicular to the wall, at distance ds from each other (measured along the center line of the wall). The shearing stress 1 across the thickness t1 induces a numerically equal longitudinal stress, as discussed within section (4.3). In the same manner, across thickness t2, the corresponding shearing stress 2 is accompanied by a numerically equal longitudinal stress directed along the x axis, (Fig. 9.28b). Since the element considered is in mechanical equilibrium, we may write that the summation of all forces acting along x axis is zero. This means that: 1 t1
dx

t2 dx

constant.
(9.49)
Since the element represented in Fig. 9.28b has been chosen arbitrarily, the above relation tells us that the product t of the shearing stress at a given level (point) of the cross section and of the wall thickness t at that level is a constant throughout the member. The term t is called the shear flow. In other words, at points where the wall thickness has a minimum value, the corresponding shearing stress is maximum and vice versa. To relate the shear flow to the applied torque Mt , we consider a small element of the wall section, of length ds (Fig. 9.29). Since this small element has an infinitesimal length ds, we may consider that the wall thickness remains approximately constant along the element (and equal to t).
186
Torsion
Fig. 9.29
The elementary force which develops at the level of this element is expressed through the product of the shearing stress at this level and the area (tds) of the element (Fig. 9.29). We write: dF
(9.50)
t ds .
The moment of this elementary force about an arbitrary point O within the cavity of the member is: dM

The angle of twist of a thin-walled hollow shaft may be obtained by using the method of energy: the work done by the external torque M t will be equal to the elastic strain energy accumulated by the member in torsion. Consider for example an element of length dx detached from the hollow member of noncircular section represented in Fig. 9.28 (Fig. 9.31a). a

10. BENDING
A member is said to be in bending if at its current cross section a bending moment develops. A member in bending is called beam. The bending may be classified using different criteria: a) After the forces position in space, we have: plane bending: the forces acting on the beam are located within the same plane, this plane containing the beam axis and one of the principal axes of inertia of the beam cross sections (Fig. 10.1). unsymmetric bending: the forces acting on the beam are located within the same plane, this plane contains the beam axis but contains neither of the principal axes of inertia of the beam cross sections (Fig. 10.2).
Fig. 10.1
Fig. 10.2
general bending: the forces acting on the beam are not located within the same plane, but each force does intersect the axis (Ox) of the beam (Fig. 10.3). b) After the types of internal forces developing at the current cross section we have: pure bending: the internal forces reduce to a bending moment (of a constant value, orientation and sense along the beam), the shearing force being zero (Fig. 10.4a and Fig. 10.4b – between points 1 Fig. 10.3 and 2).
Strength of Materials
simple bending: the bending moment Mi developed at the current cross section of the beam is accompanied by the shearing force T (Fig. 10.4b, between points A-1 and B-2).
a.
b. Fig. 10.4
10.1 PRISMATIC MEMBERS IN PURE BENDING As discussed above, an example of a member in pure bending is furnished by the portion 1-2 of the beam shown in Fig. 10.4b. In deriving the pure bending formulas, we make the following assumptions: the beam material is continuous, homogeneous, isotropic and elastic; material modulus of elasticity in tension is equal to that in compression; the beam cross section is constant along the member involved; stresses do not exceed the proportional limit (i.e. Hooke’s law is available); the beam is in pure bending; Bernoulli’s hypothesis is also valid. We shall now detach a portion of infinitely small length dx, located between points 1 and 2, from the beam shown in Fig. 10.4b (Fig. 10.5). This portion is bounded by the planes (I and II) perpendicular to the axis of the beam. Due to the action of the external loads the portion considered will bend, but will remain symmetric with respect to the plane containing the loads applied to the beam. Moreover, since the bending moment Miz is the same at any cross section, the portion considered will bend uniformly (Fig. 10.5b). Thus the line C’’D’’ (for example) along which the upper face of the member intersects the plane of the external forces P will have a constant curvature. In other words, the line C’’D’’, which was originally a straight line, will be transformed into a circle of center O1 and so will the lines CD, C’D’ etc. 196
Bending
On the other hand, we note that, due to the action of the external loads, the longitudinal fibers of the portion considered will deform: the fibres of the upper part of the portion considered decrease in length while the fibers of the lower part increase in length. It follows that there must exist a surface parallel to the upper and the lower faces of the beam whose fibers do neither increase nor decrease in length. This surface is called the neutral surface. The neutral surface intersects the plane of forces P along an arc of circle CD (Fig. 10.5b) which is called the neutral axis of the beam.
a. (Scheme of Fig. 10.4b)
b. Fig. 10.5
Since the longitudinal fibres of the member in pure bending do modify their length along the longitudinal direction, we conclude that normal stresses x develop at any cross section of such a member. Using the theory of elasticity or certain experimental methods, one may verify that the normal component x is the only nonzero stress component exerted on the current cross-sectional points of the beam. Let us now return for a while to the bended portion of the beam represented in Fig. 10.5b. We denote by d the angle made by the two sectional planes I and II which bound the beam portion considered and by the radius of curvature corresponding to the neutral axis CD. We shall now consider a fibre C’D’ located at a distance y bellow the neutral surface. As discussed above, the neutral fibre CD will not modify its length in bending. The length of fibre CD will therefore remain equal to dx. We write (10.1) dx d , On the other hand, the arbitrary longitudinal fibre C’D’ considered will change its original length dx with quantity dx . We have dx

Formula (10.5) shows that, in the elastic range, the normal stress varies linearly with the distance from the neutral surface (Fig. 10.6).

Formula (10.8) (usually called Euler-Bernoulli's formula) gives us the expression of the curvature of the beam neutral surface as a function of the applied bending moment Miz, modulus of elasticity E and the second moment of the beam cross sectional area A with respect to the axis about which the bending moment is applied (Iz). The curvature is defined as the reciprocal of the radius of curvature . It measures the deformation of the member caused by the bending moment Miz. Substituting

This happens only if the applied bending moment is positive (Fig. 10.7a). If the bending moment at the cross section considered is negative then we shall have compression bellow and tension above the neutral axis (Fig. 10.7b). From formula (10.9) it follows that the maximum normal stress develops at cross sectional points for which the distance y is maximum.

IMPORTANT REMARK The relatively small number of engineering application where pure bending is encountered does not justify a complex study in this matter. Fortunately the results obtained for pure bending may be also applied to simple bending or to other types of loading as well. An example is presented below. Numerical example A steel beam of the cross-section shown, is subjected to several external loads (Fig. 10.11). Knowing that a 150 MPa : a) Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams;

It is important to note that formula (10.9) has been derived for a member with a plane of symmetry and a uniform cross section. As presented in chapter 6 or 9, for beams heaving a variable cross section, the corresponding normal stresses will not agree with Navier’s formula. In such cases a stress concentration occurs. For example higher stresses develop if the beam cross-section presents a sudden change (Fig. 10.12). The ratio between the maximum actual normal stress ( ' ) and the maximum stress ( max ) computed with formula (10.10) is called the stress concentration factor: max

10.2 SHEARING STRESSES IN BEAMS SUBJECTED TO SIMPLE BENDING Let us consider a beam with a vertical plane of symmetry, in simple bending. This means that, at any cross section, the bending moment (Miz or Miy) is accompanied by the corresponding shearing force (Ty or Tz respectively) - Fig. 10.13. Since a shearing force develops at any cross section of the beam, besides the normal stresses x , shearing stresses do also develop at any elementary area dA of the cross section. It may be shown that, excepting some particular points of the cross section, the direction of (with components xy and xz ) cannot be determined using the strength of materials methods only.
a.
b. Fig. 10.13 203
Strength of Materials
For example, let us detache the element abcda'b'c'd' from the beam represented in Fig. 10.13b, Fig. 10.14. We assume that, at an arbitrary point B located on the circumference of the beam cross section, the shearing stress has an arbitrary direction. It may be resolved however into two components 1 and as shown in the figure. But we know that shear cannot take Fig. 10.14 place in one plane only, an equal shearing stress occuring on another plane perpendicular to the first one. This means that 1 must be accompanied by 1 ' which is perpendicular to 1 and contained within the surface aba'b' . Since the face aba'b' of the element considered is a part of the free surface of the beam, all stresses on this face must be zero. Thus, 2

(10.16)
.
It follows that 1

(10.17)
Since the stress component equals zero, we conclude that the shearing stress at point B acts along the tangent at the cross section circumference. This conclusion remains valid for any particular point of the cross section circumference. Let us now to return to the current cross section of the beam represented in Fig. 10.13a. As mentioned above, at the level of this cross section the internal forces are represented by the bending moment Miz and the shearing force Ty. Since the effect of Miz (which gives the normal stresses ) has been discussed previously (Navier's formula) we shall now concentrate our attention on the shearing stresses. We shall try to investigate the shearing stresses occuring at points located on an arbitrary segment mn, parallel to Oz axis, at distance y from the neutral surface (i.e. from Oz axis) (Fig. 10.15). As demonstrated above, at points m and n the shearing stress is tangent to the cross section circumference. On the other hand, due to the symmetry of the cross section with respect to the plane Oxy, the tangents at points m and n will intersect the Oy axis at the Fig. 10.15 same point O1 (Fig. 10.15). Within such a 1

Bending
context, two basic assumptions (usually called Juravski's assumptions) have to be considered: for any other point m1 of segment mn, the direction of passes through point O1; the shearing stress remains constant for all points located on the segment mn. Its value depends only upon the distance y from the Oz axis (i.e. from the neutral surface). From Fig. 10.15 we have xy

In other words, the shearing stress component xz at any particular point of segment mn may be expressed as a function of The problem is, xy . therefore, to find out the mathematical connection between the shearing stress component xy and the shearing force Ty over the cross section considered. This will be done bellow. We shall now detache from the beam of Fig. 10.13 a portion of infinitely small length dx, bounded by two planes perpendicular to the axis of the beam (sections S1 and S2) (Fig. 10.16a). We do also cut this portion with a longitudinal plane passing through an arbitrary segment mn (analogous to that of Fig. 10.15) of the beam cross section. This plane

(mnm'n') will be, therefore, parallel to the beam neutral surface (Fig. 10.16b). We shall now retain only that part of the beam located bellow the sectional plane mnm'n' (Fig. 10.16b). We denote by A1 the area of surface mnq (this area remaining constant along Ox axis) and by b the width of the beam of distance y from the neutral axis Oz. As represented in Fig. 10.16b, at the level of the cross section S1, M i M iz and Ty develop, while, at the level of the cross section S2, M i d M i and T y develop as cross sectional internal forces. The retained element mnqm'n'q' is subjected to: the cross sectional shearing stresses xy developed at the level of the crosssectional points located on segment mn. As discussed above, these stresses are accompanied by equal longitudinal shearing stresses yx . the normal stresses developed at the level of the cross-sectional surfaces mnq and m'n'q' of area A1. The axial force N1 developed at the level of the entire mnq surface is therefore Navier’s formula N1

It is important to note that the cross–sectional shearing stresses xy (which depend upon the quantities described in formula (10.22)), are always accompanied by equal longitudinal shearing stresses which tend to shear the beam about a longitudinal plane (Fig. 10.17a). In other words, at each such level a reciprocal sliding tendency occurs (Fig. 10.17b). 207

RECTANGULAR SECTIONS The distribution of shearing stresses ( xy ) in a rectangular section may be sketched using formula (10.22) – Fig. 10.18. We shall compute the shearing stress value, at a current level mn located at distance y1 from the neutral axis and then we shall represent the shearing stress variation along the rectangular section depth as a Fig. 10.18 function of y1.

CIRCULAR SECTIONS The distribution of shearing stresses in a circular section may be derived in a similar manner.

For convenience we shall first derive the current expression of the first moment of the area A1 located below the current Fig. 10.19 level mn (hachured area of Fig. 10.19) with respect to the neutral axis Oz as a function of distance y1.

10.3 PREVENTION OF LONGITUDINAL SLIDING IN CASE OF COMPOSITE SECTIONS For beams with a long span or subjected to high loads, a high value of the elastic cross-section modulus is required. In many such cases beams with composite sections are chosen. If a beam, for example, were composed of two or more layers placed on each other, bending would produce the effect shown in Fig. 10.20.
Fig. 10.20
The separate layers 1 and 2 would slide past each other and the total strength of the beam would be the sum of the strengths of the layers. The beam is considerably weaker than a solid beam of equivalent dimensions. To increase the strength of the beam shown in Fig. 10.20, the layers are gripped together by means of several rivets or bolts. These rivets or bolts will prevent the layers from sliding when bended (Fig.10.21). The built-up beam will work like a solid beam of equivalent dimensions, and a considerably more effort is required to make it fail. On the other hand the rivets or bolts which prevent the layers from sliding reciprocally will be sheared by longitudinal forces developed at the layers separation plane. It is important to mention that this horizontal reciprocal sliding tendency does 210
Bending
Fig. 10.21
also occur even if the beam is solid. This may be explained through the longitudinal shearing stresses yx which develop in simple bending (Fig. 10.17).
Numerical example The composite beam shown in Fig. 10.22, is made by discontinuous welding. It is subjected to a uniformly distributed force q 42 kN / m and three concentrated forces P 420 kN . Knowing that the weld throat depth is a 7 mm , the length of weld c 100 mm and the weld allowable shearing stress

10.4 BEAMS OF CONSTANT STRENGTH The above presented matters concerning bending have been limited so far to prismatic beams of constant cross sections. If the applied bending moment is constant 213
Strength of Materials
along the beam involved, the stresses developed at any cross section will have the same value and distribution (Fig. 10.24). Since the maximum normal stress max usually controls the design of the beam, the strength condition max
a
(where a is the allowable value of the normal stress for the material involved) for the beam shown in Fig. 10.24 is met in the same manner at each particular cross section. If the applied bending moment varies along the beam, the strength condition must insure that the stresses in the critical section(s) are at most
Fig. 10.24
equal to the allowable values of the normal and shearing stresses (Fig. 10.25). It follows that, in all other sections, the stresses will be smaller (or much smaller) than the allowable stresses.
Fig. 10.25
A prismatic beam therefore, is almost always overdesigned, and considerable savings of material may be realized by using 214
Bending
nonprismatic beams of variable cross sections. The problem is, therefore, to design such beams for which the elastic cross sectional modulus W z (or W y ) to vary along the beam ( W z = W z (x) or W z = W z (x)), so that at any cross section, to have M W

If we know the variation law of the bending moment as a function of x ( M i M i ( x ) ) and the stress allowable value of the material involved - a , we may thus design the geometry of the beam which to lead to an optimum use of the material. A beam designed in this manner is referred to as a beam of constant strength. Let us now return to the beam represented in Fig. 10.26 in a simplified manner. The bending moment diagram shows a linear variation of M i with respect to x: M

P

.
This beam may be designed as a beam of constant strength if we vary the cross section in a continuous way along the length of the member. Usually, there are two ways to do this in practical
Fig. 10.26
applications: to vary the depth of the beam at constant width or to vary the width of the beam at constant depth. Let us now consider the first case (Fig. 10.26). The strength condition at any cross section of the beam is: M i (x) max

Formula (10.31) shows us a parabolic variation of the beam cross section depth as a function of x. The geometry of such a beam has been represented in Fig. 10.26. On the other hand, it is important to note that, for cross sections located in the vicinity of the external force P application point, the cross sectional area decreases too much and does not meet the shearing stresses strength condition requirement (

In the second case we may keep the depth constant and vary the width of the
beam (Fig. 10.28). We shall follow the same reasoning. The only difference compared with the preceding case consists in the variation of the width instead of that of the depth. The strength condition at any cross section of the beam is:

Formula (10.32) shows us a linear variation of the beam cross section width as a function of x. The geometry of such a beam has been represented in Fig. 10.28.

10.5 UNSYMMETRIC BENDING A beam is said to be under unsymmetric bending if at any cross section the bending moment vector is not directed along a principal centroidal axis of the cross section (Fig. 10.30).
Fig. 10.30
GENERAL CASE OF UNSYMMETRIC BENDING STATE OF STRESS Consider a straight beam of constant cross section subjected to unsymmetric bending. A centroidal rectangular coordinate system zOy is attached to the beam cross sections (Fig. 10.31). Due to the action of the applied bending moment M i (with components M iz and M iy ), normal stresses develop at the level of each particular elementary area d A of the beam cross section. To derive the unsymmetric bending formulas, we make the following assumptions: 218
Bending
stresses do not exceed the proportional limit (i.e. Hooke’s law is available; the beam is in unsymmetric bending; Bernoulli’s hypothesis is also valid. The stresses developed may be obtained by superposing the stresses corresponding to the bending moment components M iz and M iy , as long as the conditions of applicability of the principle of superposition are satisfied. Within the context of the above presented assumptions, we may consider that the normal strain of the beam longitudinal fibres does Fig. 10.31 linearly depends upon the coordinates z and y. We may write therefore: C1 z
x
C2 y
C3
,
(10.33)
where C1’, C2’ and C3’ are constants. Since the Hooke ‘s law conditions are satisfied we have x

10.6 GENERAL BENDING A beam is said to be under general bending if the forces acting on the beam are not located within the same plane, but the support of each force does intersect the Ox axis of the beam (Fig. 10.3). In such cases the beam deforms after a certain curve in space. The neutral axes of different cross sections will not be located within the same plane and there will be NO neutral plane. To resolve such cases the following steps have to be covered: The external forces have to be resolved about two principal planes (Oz and Oy); The bending moment diagrams must be then drawn for each of the two planes (Oz and Oy); The critical sections (where the resultant bending moment has maximum values) must be established; For each critical section the maximum normal stress has to be computed and then compared with the normal stress allowable value of the material involved.
