Stress
DIRECT STRESS
When a force is applied to an elastic body, the body deforms.
The way in which the body deforms depends upon the type of force applied
to it.

MODULUS OF ELASTICITY (E)
The stiffness is different for the different material and different sizes of
the material. We may eliminate the size by using stress and strain
instead of force and deformation:

Elastic Behavior
• The initial region of the curve, indicated in light orange, is
referred to as the elastic region.
• Here the curve is a straight line up to the point where the
stress reaches the proportional limit,σpl.
• When the stress slightly exceeds this value, the curve bends
until the stress reaches an elastic limit.
• What makes the elastic region unique,
however, is that after reaching σy if the
load is removed, the specimen will recover
its original shape (no damage will be
done to the material).
10
• Because the curve is a straight line up to σpl any increase in
stress will cause a proportional increase in strain. It is
expressed mathematically as
11
Yielding
• A slight increase in stress above the elastic limit will result in
a breakdown of the material and cause it to deform
permanently.
• This behavior is called yielding, and it is indicated by the
rectangular dark orange region.
• The stress that causes yielding is called the yield stress or
yield point, σY, and the deformation that occurs is called
plastic deformation.
• Once the yield point is reached, then, the
specimen will continue to elongate (strain)
without any increase in load.
• When the material behaves in this manner,
it is often referred to as being perfectly
plastic.
12
Strain Hardening
• When yielding has ended, any load causing an increase in
stress will be supported by the specimen, resulting in a
curve that rises continuously but becomes flatter until it
reaches a maximum stress referred to as the ultimate
stress, σu
• The rise in the curve in this manner is called strain
hardening, and it is shown as the region in
light green.
13
Necking.
• Up to the ultimate stress, as the specimen elongates, its
cross-sectional area will decrease in a fairly uniform manner
over the specimen’s entire gage length.
• However, just after reaching the ultimate stress, the cross-
sectional area will then begin to decrease in a localized
region of the specimen, and so it is here where the stress
begins to increase.
• As a result, a constriction or “neck” tends to form with
further elongation.
• This region of the curve due to necking is
indicated in dark green.
• Here the stress–strain diagram tends to
curve downward until the specimen
breaks at the fracture stress, σf

POISSON’S RATIO
16
• For example, consider the bar in Fig. that has an original
radius r and length L, and is subjected to the tensile force P.
• This force elongates the bar by an amount δ, and its radius
contracts by an amount δ’.
• The strains in the longitudinal or axial direction and in the
lateral or radial direction become
17
• Within the elastic range the ratio of these strains is a
constant.
• This ratio is referred to as Poisson’s ratio, 𝝂 (nu)

Example 3
A specimen of titanium alloy is tested in torsion and the shear
stress–strain diagram is shown in Fig. a.
• Determine the shear modulus G, the proportional limit, and the ultimate
shear stress.
• Also, determine the maximum distance d that the top of a block of this
material, shown in Fig. b, could be displaced horizontally if the material
behaves elastically when acted upon by a shear force V. What is the
magnitude of V necessary to cause this displacement?
Fig. a Fig. b 24
• Shear Modulus - represents the slope of the straight-line
portion OA in graph. A (0.008 rad, 52 MPa)
G = 52/0.008 = 6500 MPa
• Proportional limit 𝝉pl = 52 MPa
• Maximum shear stress, 𝝉u = 73 MPa
25
Maximum Elastic Displacement and Shear Force.
• The shear strain at the corner C of the block in Fig.
b is determined by finding the difference in the 900
angle DCE and the angle θ.
• This angle is 𝛾 = 900 - θ. From the 𝜏-𝛾 diagram the
maximum elastic shear strain is 0.008 rad.
• The top of the block in Fig. b will therefore be
displaced horizontally a distance d
tan (0.008 rad) = 0.008 rad = d/(2 m)
d = 0.016 m
• The corresponding average shear stress in the
block is 𝜏pl = 52 MPa.
52 MPa = (V)/(3m X 4m)
V = 624 MN

Example 5
The plug has a diameter of 30 mm and fits within a rigid sleeve having
an inner diameter of 32 mm. Both the plug and the sleeve are 50 mm
long. Determine the axial pressure p that must be applied to the top
of the plug to cause it to contact the sides of the sleeve. Also, how far
must the plug be compressed downward in order to do this? The plug
is made from a material for which E = 5 MPa, v = 0.45.
