Concept of Stress
Concept of Stress
designed to support a 30
kN load. It consists of a
HITEC University Taxila, Pakistan
boom AB with a 30 x 50
mm rectangular cross
section and a rod BC with
a 20 mm diameter circular
cross section. These are
connected by a pin at B
and are supported by pins
and brackets at A and C,
respectively.

Normal stresses 3
• The normal stresses can be either tensile or compressive
whether the stresses acts of the area or into the area.

Tensile: +ive
Compressive: -ive
τ = F/A
Shear stresses 6
• Forces P and P’ are applied transversely to the member AB
• Corresponding internal forces act in the plane of section C and
are called shearing forces.

• The stress (resulting stress) at any point in a body is
basically resolved into two components σ and τ
• One act perpendicular and other parallel to the area
