Lesson 3 Stress and Strain
𝑃
𝜎=
𝐴
Where:
σ = stress applied, (lbf/in2, N/m2)
F = force applied, (lbf, N)
A = area of force application (in2, m2)
TYPES OF
STRESSES
1. Normal Stress
2. Shear Stress
3. Bearing Stress
TYPES
= P/A
Where:
P = applied normal load
A = area
• A shear stress: is the
component of stress
coplanar with a material
cross section. Shear stress
SHEAR arises from the force •
vector component parallel
STRESS
where: = shear stress
to the cross section.
F = force
A = area
• It differs to tensile and
compressive stresses,
which are caused by
forces perpendicular to
the area on which they
act.

PROBLEM 1:
Ans. 119.35 mm
PROBLEM 2
What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a plate that is 25
mm thick? The shear strength is 350 MN/m2.
Ans. 549.8 kN
PROBLEM 3
In figure, assume that a 20-mm-diameter rivet joins the plates that are
each 110 mm wide. The allowable stresses are 120 MPa for bearing in the
plate material and 60 MPa for shearing of rivet. Determine (a) the
minimum thickness of each plate; and (b) the largest average tensile stress
in the plates.
Ans. 6000 7.85 mm, 26.67 MPa
STRAIN
Where:
ϵ = strain due to stress applied
= δl =change in length
L = original length of the material.
The strain is a dimensionless quantity
as it just defines the relative change
in shape.
STRESS AND STRAIN CURVE
•Proportional limit
•Elastic limit
•Yield point
•Ultimate stress point
•Fracture or breaking point
(i) Proportional Limit (iii) Yield Point
It is the region in the stress-strain curve The yield point is defined as the point
that obeys Hooke’s Law. In this limit, at which the material starts to deform

HOOKE’S LAW
• Hooke’s Law states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied
stress within the elastic limit of that material.
F = –k . x
Where :
F = force
x = extension length
k = constant of proportionality known as spring constant in
