NORMAL STRESSES

ENGR. ANNA MARIE G. CALUB


NORMAL STRESSES

SIMPLE STRESSES
-ratio of the applied force divided by the resisting area
-types: Normal Stress, Shearing Stress and Bearing Stress

𝐹 Where:
𝜎= 𝜎 = stress (Pa, kPa, psi, ksi)
𝐴 F = force (N, kN, lbf, kips)
A = area (𝑚2 , 𝑖𝑛2 )

EXAMPLE 1
EXAMPLES

A hollow tube with an inside diameter of 100mm must carry a


tensile load of 400kN. Determine the outside diameter of the tube
if the stress is limited to 120 MN/m2.

EXAMPLE 2
EXAMPLES

A homogeneous 800 kg bar AB is supported at either end by a cable as


shown in the figure. Calculate the smallest area of each cable if the
stress is not to exceed 90MPa in bronze and 120 MPa in steel.

EXAMPLE 3
EXAMPLES

A rod is composed of an aluminum section rigidly attached between


steel and bronze sections. Axial loads are applied at the positions
indicated. If P=3000lb and the cross sectional area of the rod is 0.5 in2 ,
determine the stress in each section.

EXAMPLE 4
EXAMPLES

An aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod and a bronze


rod as shown. Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Find
the maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in steel of 140
Mpa, in aluminum of 90MPa, or in bronze of 100MPa.

EXAMPLE 6
EXAMPLES

If the block is subjected to the centrally applied force of 600kN,


determine the average normal stress in the material. Show the stress
acting on a differential volume element of the material.

EXAMPLE 5
EXAMPLES

Determine the largest weight W that can be supported by two wires


shown. The stress in either wire is not to exceed 30ksi. The cross
sectional areas of wires AB and AC are 0.4 in2 and 0.5in2 respectively.

EXAMPLE 7
EXAMPLES

Determine the average normal stress in each of the 20mm diameter


bars of the truss. P=40kN.

EXAMPLE 8
EXAMPLES

The 150kg bucket is suspended from end E of the frame. Determine


the average normal stress in the 6mm diameter wire CF and the 15mm
diameter short strut BD.

EXAMPLE 9
EXAMPLES

For the truss shown, calculate the stresses in members CE, DE, and DF.
The cross sectional area of each member is 1.8in2. Indicate tension (T)
or compression (C).
