Types of Stresses
• Normal Stress
Tensile Stress
Compressive Stress
• Shear Stress

STRAIN
change in dimensions of the body
Strain (ε) =
the original dimensions
Types of Strain
1) Linear Strain
a) Tensile Strain
b) Compressive Strain
2) Lateral Strain
3) Shear Strain
4) Volumetric Strain= δv/V
Dr. Ramesh B T, SIT- Pune 6
the value of Poisson’s ratio lies in the range, 0 to
0.5.
Dr. Ramesh B T, SIT- Pune 7
Hook’s Law
It states that “When a material is loaded within its elastic limit,
stress is directly proportional to the strain”
E = A constant of proportionality
known as Modulus of Elasticity E
σ = Stress & ε = Strain
Hook’s law holds good for tension as well as compression.
Modulus of Elasticity or Young’s Modulus (E)
Modulus of Elasticity or Young’s Modulus (E) is the
constant of proportionality and is defined as the
ratio of linear stress to linear strain within elastic
limit. UnitB T,isSIT-

Compound or composite bars
A composite bar can be made of two bars of different materials rigidly
fixed together so that both bars strain together under external load.
Let the extension of composite bar of length L be δL. Let ES and EH be the modulus of
elasticity of solid bar and hollow tube respectively. Let S and H be the stresses
developed in the solid bar and hollow tube respectively.

Temperature stresses in a single bar
The coefficient of linear expansion of the bar α
The temperature is raised ΔT (°C)
diameter d
length L
Free thermal expansion in the bar = α ΔT L.
Since the supports are rigid, the final length of the bar does
not change. The fixed ends exert compressive force on the bar
so as to cause shortening of the bar by α ΔT L.
Hence the compressive strain in the bar = α ΔT L / L = α ΔT
Compressive stress = α ΔT E
Hence the thermal stresses introduced in the bar = α ΔT E

Simple Shear stress and Shear Strain
negative
positive shear stress
The shear stress is also called
Tangential stress.
Dr. Ramesh B T, SIT- Pune 20
Volumetric strain the ratio of change in volume to the original volume
Bulk Modulus the ratio of the normal stresses (p) to the volumetric
strain ( v) and denoted by ‘K’
Dr. Ramesh B T, SIT- Pune 21
Relation between elastic constants
1 Relation between E and G
2 Relation between E and K
Dr. Ramesh B T, SIT- Pune 22
3 Relation between E, G and K
K is the Bulk modulus
G is shear modulus or modulus of rigidity.
E is Young’s modulus or modulus of Elasticity.
Young modulus can be expressed using
Bulk modulus and Poisson’s ratio as
Similarly, Young’s modulus can also be
expressed using rigidity modulus and
Poisson’s ratio as
