1.1 INTRODUCTION
Strength of material is a branch of applied mechanics that deals with the behaviour of solid bodies
subjected to various types of loading and internal forces developed due to these loading. A thorough understanding
of mechanical behaviour is essential for the safe design of all structures, whether buildings, bridges, machines,
motors, submarines or airplanes. Hence, strength of material is a basic subject in many engineering fiolds
he objective of our analysis will be to determine the stresses, strains and deflections produced b)
loads in different structures. Theoretical analysis and experimental results have equally importar
study of strongth of materials. So those quantitios are found for all values of load upto the failure load, and then
we will have a complete picture of the mechanical behaviour of the body.
The behaviour of amember subjected to forces depends not only on the fundamental law of Newtonian
mechanics that govern the equilibrium of the forces but also on the mechanical characteristics of materials of
which the member is fabricated. Sometimes, to predict the behaviour of material some necessary information
regarding the characteristics of material comes from laboratory tests.
1.2 STRESS -—— § ——
The fundamental concept of stress can be
understood by considering a prismatic bar that is loaded
by axial force Pat the ends as shown.
A prismatic bar is a straight structural member
having constant cross-sectional area throughout its length.
Inthe figure (a), axial force is acting away from the cross.
section producing a uniform stretching of the bar, hence
the bar is said lo be in tension, Similarly in figure (c), axial
forceis acting towards the cross-section producing uniform
‘compression of the bar, hence the bar is said to be in
‘compression,
To investigate the internal stresses produced in
the bar by axial forces, we make an imaginary cut at section
mn as shown in figure (b) and (d). This section is taken
Perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of bar. Hence it is,
known as cross-section,Civil
2 | Engineering MADE EASY
Now isolating the part of the bar to the right of the cut and considering the right of the cut as a free body,
The force Phas a tendency to move free bady in the direction of load, so to restrict the motion of bar an internal
force is induced which is uniformly distributed over cross-sectional area. The intensity of force developed, thatis,
internal force per unit area is called the stress.
Siress differs from pressure because pressure is defined as the externally applied
force on unit area while stress is internal resistive force on unit area, To have better
understanding of difference between externally applied force and internal resistance.
Consider a bar suspended from a fixed end and a weight Wis gradually applied at its
free end as shown in figure.

Case-1: Weight, W
applied gradually Fig. Axial oad on bar
Gradual loading means that value of load is zero atthe starting time and gradually increases to value of
W. Here, the bar gradually elongates with the increasing value of load. With increase in elongation, resistance
forces say R will also increase gradually

Here, external load variation with elongation of bar is such as that its value instantly increases to W. This
sudden load will sult into elongation of bar say A. When external load is applied suddenly, resistance force will
bbe set up in bar, but unlike external load which is sudden, resistance force has always linear vatiation with
elongation of bar.

Now, as clear from figure (a) and (b), intensity of pressure is not equal to stress induced in bar.
hus, stress can be defined as - "Stress is the internal resistance of a material offered
against deformation which is expressed in terms of force per unit area”

Publications Properties ofMaterials
Stress induced in material depends upon the nature of force, point of application and cross-sectional
area of material. Stress can be tensile or compressive in nature depending on the nature of load. Generally,
stress is represented by the Greek letler «. We can calculate stress mathematically as,
Pp
General Sign Convention: ’) Nim? or Pa (SI unit)
Tensile stresses = +ve (i) Nimm? or MPa,
Compressive stresses = -ve
= Stresses are induced only when motion of bar's restricted either by some force orreaction
induced. It body or bar is tree to move or free expansion is allowed, then no stresses will
1| be induced.
= Pressure has same unit but pressure is different physical quantity than stress, Pressure is
external normal force distributed over surface.
NOTE
(On the basis of cross-sectional area considered during calculation of stresses, direct stresses can be of
following two types:
{a) Engineering or nominal stress: Its the stress whore the original cross-sectional area of specimen

‘on small specimen. These experiments are conducted in laboratories equipped with tesling machines that are
capable of loading in tension or compression.
he American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has published guidelines for conducting test.

+ DE represents strain hardening region: In this range further addition of stress gives adcitional

change in its crystaline structure, resulting in increased resistance to further deformalion. This
portion is not used for structural design,

coresponding strain is about 20% for mild steel

fracture strain. It is about 25% for mild steel.

1.5 PROPERTIES OF METALS
15.1. Ductility
Duetilty is the property by which material can be stretched. Large deformations are thus possible in
ductile materials before the absolute failure or rupture takes place, These materials have post-elastic strain
(Plastic strain) greater than 5%. Some of the examples of ductile materials are mild steel, aluminium, copper.
manganese, lead, nickel, brass, bronze ete.
15.2. Brittleness
Brittioness is the lack of ductility i.e. materials can not be stretched. In brittle materials, fracture takes
place immediately atter elastic limit with a relatively smaller deformation. For the brittle materials, fracture and
Ultimate points are same and after proportional limil very small strain is seen. Britle materials have post elastic
strain less than 5%. Some examples of bitte materials are cast iron, concrete and glass.

To distinguish between these two type of materials, materials with post elastic strain less
than 5% at fracture point are regarded as brittle and those having post elastic strain greater
REMEMBER than 5% at fracture point are called ductile (this value for mild steel at fracture is about 25%),
153 Malleability
Malicabilty is the property of metal due to which a piace of metal can be converted into a thin sheet by
pressing it. A malleable material possess a high degree of plasticity. This property is of great use in operations

15.4 Hardness
* Hardness is resistance to scratch or abrasion,
* There are two methods of hardness measurements:
(a) Scratch hardness-commonly measured by Mohr’ test
(0) Indentation hardness (abrasion) measured by
‘+ Brinelfs hardiness method © Rockwell hardness
+ Vickers hardness * Knoop hardness
1.6 CREEP
Creep is permanent deformation which is recorded with passage of time al constant loading, Total creep
deformation continues to increase with time asymptotically. Consider a prismatic bar of longth Lon which an
external stalic load P is applied. Due to applied slatic load, goes a deformation of D,, bul after some time itis
observed that bar has gone permanent and some stress developed in bar released. This effect is called creep,
Elastic detlection = Pe

where,
Static load

Fig. Coep inbar
Factors affecting creep are as follows:
4. Magnitude of load
2. Type of oading (static or dynamic)
3. Time or age of loading
4. Temperature
+ Athigher temperature, due to greater mobility of atoms most of the materials loose their
strength and elastic constants also get reduced. Hence, greater deformation at elevated
temperature results, even under constant loading, Therefore, creep is more pronounced at
higher temperature, and thus it must be considered for design of engines and furnaces.
+ Temperature at which the creep becomes very appreciable shalt ofthe melting point temperature

Mild steel is enough strong in tension and
compression but itis weak in shear. Hence, the
failure of the specimen takes place due to shear.

For rue stress, the actual area at any time used

the Poisson's ratio. However the other elastic
constants K, G can also be used. For isotropic

On the basis of this information, compute the engineering stress necessary to produce an engineering
