1 STRESS -STRAIN AND PROPERTIES OF METALS
ASSUMPTIONS MADE IN STRENGTH OF MATERIAL :
a) Material is continous (no cracks & voids)
b) Material is homogenous & isotropic.
c) There are no internal forces in a body prior to loading
d) Principle of superposition is valid
(It states that effect of number of forces is equal to algebric sum of individual forces)
e) Self weight is ignored :
f) St. Venants principle is valid ( It states that except in the region of extreme ends of a bar carrying
direct loading the stress distribution over the cross section is uniform)

STRESS
* It is the internal resistance offered by the body against external loading or deformation. Stresses are of
followingtypes :
i) Direct or normal stresses which may be tensile or compressive
= P
A
s = Resisting force against deformation
A=Area on which resistance is acting
P =Applied load
Unit - N/m2 or Pa
N/mm2 or MPa
ii) Shear or tangential stresses - Force acting tangential to surface is called shear force and correspond-
ing stress is called shear stress
Resisting shear force
Area on which shear force is acting
iii) Transverse or bending stress
iv) Torsional or twisting stresses.

stress or nominal stress. But, if area taken is actual area then stress is known as true stress.

C - Upper yield point
D - Lower yield point - yielding begins at this point
DE - Strain hardening region (The mtl in this region undergoes change in its atomic & cyrstalline structure
resulting in increased resistance to further drformation. This portion is not used for structural design)
E - Ultimate stress point
E F - Necking region (strain softening)
F - Fracture point
Note : * The magnitude of stress correspending to upper yield poinst depends on cross section area,
shape of specimen & type of equipment used to perform the test. It has no practical significance so lower
yield pt is considered as true characterstic yield stress for M.S.
** Materials that undergo large strains before failure are classified as ductile.Advantage of ductility is
that visible deformation can occur before failure hence remedial action can be taken.

PROOF STRESS :
When a material such as Aluminium which doesnot have an obvious yield point & yet undergoes large
strains after proportional limit, the yield stress is determined by offset method.
A line parallel to initial linear part is drawn, which is offset by some standard amount of strain such as
0.2%. The intersection of the offset point (A) defines the yield stress which is slightly above proportionality
limit and is called proof stress.

STRENGTH OF MATERIAL
PROPERTIES OF METALS
i) Ductility : It is the property by which material can be stretched
Eg. : M.S., Al, Cu, Mn, Lead, Brass etc.
ii) Brittleness : It is lack of ductility i.e. material cannot be stretched. For brittle materials, fracture point
& ultimate point are same. Materials with strain less than 5% at fracture point are regarded as brittle & those
having strains > 5% at fracture pt are called ductile
iii) Malleability : The property by which mateerial can be uniformly extended in a direction without
reputre.
iv) Toughness : This property enables material to absorb energy without fracture. This property is very
desirable in case of cylic loading or shock loading.
Modulous of toughness : Area under entire stress -strain curve and is the energy absorbed by material
of the specimen / unit vol. upto fracture.
Mod. of toughness = y u f
2
= yield tensile strength
y
= ultimate tensiel strength
u
f = strain at fracture pt
** Material having higher modulation of toughness will be very ductile.
Modulus of resilience : Maximum elastic engery / unit vol. that can be absorbed without attaining plastic
stage. It is area under stress - strain diagram upto dastic limit.
y
Mod. of resilience ( u) = 2E
** Higher u - Higher yield strength
** Higher toughness is desirable for gears, chains, crane hooks, etc, Higher resilience is destrable in
springs
v) Hardness : Reistance to indentation or scratching or surface abrasion.
vi) Fatigue : The behaviour of material under variable loads is referred as fatigue.
vii) Creep :Additional strains over a long peiod of time is called creep.
viii) Relaxation : Awire attached between two rigid supports after sometime stress in wire diminshes &
reaches constant value called relaxation of material. ^

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
ix) Tenacity : ultimate strength in tension is called Tenacity.
Note : * Ductile materials are tough & brittle materials are hard.As carbon content increases ductility
decreases but ultimate strength increases.
* Ductile materials are strong in tension, weak in shear, moderate in comprression
* Brittle mtls are : weak in tension, strong in Compression, moderate in shear
* Theoritically, ductile materials are equally strong in tension & in compression but practically due to
buckling this materials are weak in compression & very weak in shear.
Factor of Safety (N)
Used to determine permissible stress. Permissible stress is used to get safe dimensions of a component
under strength critieria
Failure stress or critical or limiting stress
N=
Permissible stress or allowable or working or Design or safe stress
Failure stress For ductile =
FOS per y
per = N
For brittle =
u
per N
Reasons for FOS :
i) Unknown loading conditions
ii) Imperfect workmanship
iii) Unknown environmental conditions
iv) Unrealityof assumptions made in STM equation
v) Effect of true stress
vi) Effect of stress concentration
Margin of Safety = N - 1
Note : Margin of safety is reduced to 0 or less, structure fails.

Shear force and Bending moment (SF and BM) :
* Shear force at the cross section of a beam is defined as the unbalanced vertical force to the right or left
of the section

*Algebric sum of forces on left or right side of section (In this case concentrated moment is ignored)
* Bending moment at section of a beam is defined as algebric sum of moment of forces to the right or left

BMD
Between A & B there is no shear force & B.M. is const. i.e. between A & B beam is absolutely free from
shear but is subjected to B.M.M. This condition of beam between A & B is called pure bending or
simple bending.
Note : In real beam self weight will also be acting over the beam in the form of udl pure bending is not
possible in parctice.
Assumptions made in Bending Theory :
1) Euler Bernaulli’s assumption-plane cross section remains plane after bending.As per this
assumption, there is no twisting or warping in this cross section.
max
Linear upto failure
strain dist. in cross section
The Baunaullis assumption is related with strains which indicates strain distribution in cross section
is linear upto failures
Validity :
i) Valid for all type of loads
ii) Valid for all theories (Elastic, Plastic, all failure theories)
www.ascentgateacademy.com Copyright : Ascent Gate Academy 40
STRENGTH OF MATERIAL<
Not Valid :
1) i) Long (slender) columns (Because of buckling)
ii) Sinking of supports
iii) Torsion of non circular shafts (In case of circular members subjected to torsion, assumption is
valid)
iv) Deep Beam
2) Material is homogenous, isotropic & follows hooks law
3) Every layer is free to expand & contract. i.e. no shear force between layer.
4) E has same value in tension & compression
E) tension = E) compression = E (const.)
i.e. Material properties are not changnig
5) Beam is subject to pure bending i.e. it bends in an arc of a circle
6) Radius of curvature is very large i.e. deflection is very small.
