ENEC13010: Term 2, 2010 Week 3

This document summarizes key concepts about the elastic and inelastic deformation of axially loaded members: 1) It describes Hooke's law and the relationships between stress, strain, load, displacement, and material properties for elastic deformation. 2) It introduces the principle of superposition to simplify problems by breaking loadings into components. 3) It discusses statically indeterminate members that require additional methods beyond equations of equilibrium alone. 4) It covers thermal stress and how temperature changes cause expansion or contraction similar to an external force. 5) It describes stress concentrations at areas of changing cross-section and how to calculate maximum stress.

4.2 Elastic Deformation of an Axially Loaded Member


Using Hookes law and the definitions of stress and strain,
P(x ) d = and = A( x ) dx = displacement P(x) = Internal axial force A(x) = Cross-sectional area E = Modulus of elasticity

=
0

P( x )dx A(x )E

Constant Load and Cross-Sectional Area


When a constant external force is applied at each end of a

member with constant cross- sectional area,


=
PL AE

Now go through the Examples 4.1 4.4 in the text book.

4.3 Principle of Superposition


Principle of superposition is to simplify stress and displacement

problems by subdividing the loading into components and adding the results.

4.4 & 4.5 Statically Indeterminate Axially Loaded Member


A member is statically indeterminate when equations of

equilibrium are not sufficient to determine the reactions on a member. We can solve statically indeterminate axially loaded members using principle of superposition/Force Method PL = and AE equation.
Now go through the Examples 4.5 4.9 in the text book.

4.6 Thermal Stress


Change in temperature cause a material to change its dimensions.

For a homogeneous and isotropic material,


T = Change in temperature of the member L = Original length of the member

= linear coefficient of thermal expansion (property of the material)

T = T L

In this case, temperature change cause expansion (or contraction)

T = Change in length of the member

in a member, which can be treated very similar to the expansion (or contraction) caused by an external force. Now go through the Examples 4.10 4.12 in the text book.

4.7 Stress Concentrations


Stress concentrations occur when cross-sectional area

changes. Maximum stress is determined using a stress concentration factor, K, which is a function of geometry.

max K= avg

4.8 Inelastic Axial Deformation


Until now, we analysed the axially loaded members within

their elastic range. Now we will see, how to analyse a member, which loaded to yield and thereby permanently deformed. For our convenient, we simply the stress-strain behaviour of such member (or material) as shown below. This is behaviour (material) referred to as elastic perfectly plastic or elastoplastic behaviour.
Pp = Y dA = Y A
A

4.9 Residual Stress


When a statically indeterminate member was loaded

beyond the yielding point, then residual stresses will be created in the material during unloading.

Now go through the Examples 4.15 4.17 in the text book.
