CHAPTER: AXIAL LOADING - STRESS & STRAIN

TRUE STRESS AND TRUE STRAIN

Since the cross-sectional area of the specimen decreases as P increases, the stress plotted in our diagrams does not represent the actual stress in the specimen.

Engineering Stress

True Stress

Obtained by dividing P by the cross-sectional area A of the deformed specimen becomes apparent in ductile materials after yield has started.

Figure 2.19a

Two prismatic bars are rigidly fastened together and support a vertical load of 45 kN, as shown in Figure.
! The upper bar is steel having length 10 m and cross-sectional area 60 cm2.
The lower bar is brass having length 6 m and cross-sectional area 50 cm2.
! For steel E = 200 GPa, for brass E = 100 GPa. Determine the maximum stress in each material.

Question

Consider a steel tube surrounding a solid aluminum cylinder, the assembly being compressed between rigid cover plates by centrally applied forces as shown in Figure. " ! The aluminum cylinder is 8 cm in diameter and the outside diameter of the steel tube is 9.2 cm. If P = 200 kN, find the stress in the steel and also in the aluminum. " ! For steel, E = 200 GPa and for aluminum E = 80 GPa.

Question

Question

A steel bolt, 2.50 cm in diameter, carries a tensile load of 40 kN. Estimate the average tensile stress at the section a and at the screwed section b, where the diameter at the root of the thread is 2.10 cm.
