10.1 Introduction
Given all loads/moments on the given body, to determine deformation
(deflection) and stresses.
We may also find the allowable loading when failure may occur
A body is loaded, it deforms; but upon complete unloading body may either
return back to its original state
Then it is elastic- Else Inelastic (plastic)
ELASTIC
INELASTIC

10.2 Tension, Compression, Shear, and
Torsion

Strain, = (no dimensions)
Lo
If the load is used to extend the rod, it is tension
If the bar is pulled inside, it is compression (A -ve sign is used)

10.2.1 Shear Force
A body under shear will have an angle change
If is the shear stress acting over an area A and
Fs is the applied force, then

10.3 Poisson Effect
When a body is under tension, the length increases but width (or
diameter decreases and this effect is called Poisson’s effect.
If is the Poisson's ratio, then
lateral strain
=-
longitudinal strain
The values of are typically between 0.25 and 0.35.
