Resultant stresses by superposition:
Once the normal and shear stress components for each loading
have been calculated, use the principal of superposition to
determine the resultant normal and shear stress components.
Stress Analysis
EXAMPLE 2
A force of 15 kN is applied to the edge of the member shown in Fig.
83a. Neglect the weight of the member and determine the state of
stress at points B and C.

EXAMPLE 2 (cont)
For equilibrium at the section there must be an axial force of 15 000 N acting
through the centroid and a bending moment of 750 000 Nmm about the
centroidal or principal axis.
The maximum stress is

EXAMPLE 4 (cont)
The uniform normal-stress distribution acting over the cross section is produced
by the normal force.
At Point C,
In Fig. 85e, the shear stress is zero because A

Important Points in this Lecture
When the element is subjected to different types of loads, the principal of
superposition can be used to predict the resultant stress as the material
behave in elastic manner
