STRESS AND STRAIN CONCEPTS (For Shear and torsion) 6
The role of structural engineers is to determine stresses and stress distributions within members that are subjected to well-defined loads If a load is static or changes relatively slowly with time and is applied uniformly over a cross section or surface of a member, the mechanical behavior may be ascertained by a simple stress strain test; these are most commonly conducted for metals at room temperature. 7
Stress-Strain Test Tensile test specimen d=12.8mm Tensile testing machine One of the most common mechanical stress strain tests is performed in tension. The tension test can be used to ascertain several mechanical properties of materials that are important in design A specimen is deformed, usually to fracture, with a gradually increasing tensile load that is applied uniaxially along the long axis of a specimen 8
The tensile testing machine is designed to elongate the specimen at a constant rate, and to continuously and simultaneously measure the instantaneous applied load (with a load cell) and the resulting elongations (using an extensometer). A stress strain test typically takes several minutes to perform and is destructive; that is, the test specimen is permanently deformed and usually fractured. 9
The output of such a tensile test is recorded (usually on a computer) as load or force versus elongation. These load deformation characteristics are dependent on the specimen size. For example, it will require twice the load to produce the same elongation if the cross-sectional area of the specimen is doubled. To minimize these geometrical factors, load and elongation are normalized to the respective parameters of engineering stress and engineering strain. Engineering stress Engineering strain 10
Engineering Stress and Strain Cross-sectional area A F F x x Stress σ = F / A L 0 x F L 0 x L 1 F Elongation ΔL = (L 1 L 0 ) Strain ε = ΔL / L 0 F is the instantaneous load applied perpendicular to the specimen cross section (N). A 0 and is the original crosssectional area before any load is applied (mm 2 ) Engineering stress (stress) is in MPa (=1N/mm 2 =10 6 N/m 2 ) L 0 is the original length before any load is applied. L 1 is the instantaneous length.

Important Mechanical Properties from a Tensile Test Young's Modulus (Modulus of Elasticity): This is the slope of the linear portion of the stress-strain curve, it is usually specific to each material; a constant, known value. Yield Strength: This is the value of stress at the yield point, calculated by plotting young's modulus at a specified percent of offset (usually offset = 0.2%). Ultimate Tensile Strength: This is the highest value of stress on the stress-strain curve. Percent Elongation: This is the change in gauge length divided by the original gauge length. 13
Terminology Load - The force applied to a material during testing. Strain gage or Extensometer - A device used for measuring change in length (strain). Engineering stress - The applied load, or force, divided by the original cross-sectional area of the material. Engineering strain - The amount that a material deforms per unit length in a tensile test.

Plastic deformation Stress (σ) Modulus of Elasticity or Young Modulus (E) Stress and strain are linearly proportional upto an elastic limit through the relationship Hooke s Law Elastic def. Strain (ε) σ = E ε The constant of proportionality E (GPa) is the modulus of elasticity, or Young s modulus. For most typical metals the magnitude of this modulus ranges between 45 Gpa, for magnesium, and 407 GPa, for tungsten. It is about 200 GPa for structural steel The slope of this linear segment corresponds to the modulus of elasticity E
E modulus may be thought of as stiffness, or a material s resistance to elastic deformation. The greater the modulus, the stiffer the material, or the smaller the elastic strain that results from the application of a given stress. The modulus is an important design parameter used for computing elastic deflections. 22
Values of the modulus of elasticity for ceramic materials are about the same as for metals; for polymers they are lower. These differences are a direct consequence of the different types of atomic bonding in the three materials types. 23
Elastic Deformation σ σ σ ε Lineer elastic ε Non- L i n e e r e l a s t i c ε Deformation in which stress and strain are proportional is called elastic deformation. There is no permanent deformation on the elastic material after unloading!
Elastic Deformation Cast iron, concrete, many polymers For this nonlinear behavior, either tangent or secant modulus is normally used. Tangent modulus is taken as the slope of the stress strain curve at some specified level of stress, while secant modulus represents the slope of a secant drawn from the origin to some given point of the s curve 25

Poisson s Ratio Poisson s ratio is defined as the ratio of the lateral and axial strains. metals υ = ~ 0.33 ceramics (concrete) υ = ~ 0.25 Polymers υ = ~ 0.40 Max value is 0.5 (incompressible material; rubber) 32
Anelasticity Upto now it has been assumed that; Elastic deformation is time independent that is, that an applied stress produces an instantaneous elastic strain that remains constant over the period of time the stress is maintained. Upon release of the load the strain is totally recovered that is, that the strain immediately returns to zero. In most engineering materials, however, there will also exist a time-dependent elastic strain component. 33
Anelasticity In most engineering materials, however, there will also exist a time-dependent elastic strain component. That is, elastic deformation will continue after the stress application, and upon load release some finite time is required for complete recovery. This time-dependent elastic behavior is known as anelasticity. It is due to time-dependent microscopic and atomistic processes that are attendant to the deformation. For metals the anelastic component is normally small and is often neglected. However, for some polymeric materials its magnitude is significant; in this case it is termed viscoelastic behavior, which will be the topic of next lectures. 34
Plastic Deformation (Permanent deformation) From an atomic perspective, plastic deformation corresponds to the breaking of bonds with original atom neighbors and then reforming bonds with new neighbors. After removal of the stress, the large number of atoms that have relocated, do not return to original position. Yield strength is a measure of resistance to plastic deformation. 35

Permanent Deformation Permanent deformation for metals is accomplished by means of a process called slip, which involves the motion of dislocations. Most structures are designed to ensure that only elastic deformation results when stress is applied. A structure that has plastically deformed, or experienced a permanent change in shape, may not be capable of functioning as intended. 39

BASIC PROPERTIES of STRESS-STRAIN DIAGRAM of METALS OA Portion: Elastic Region. The stress is linearly proportional to the strain in this region. or σ σ = E ε E = ε σ σ e A B C D O ε e ε 41
AB Portion: Non-lineer elastic or σ Elastic-plastic transition region The point A defines the initial σ B y deviation from linearity of the stress-strain curve. This point A sometimes is called as propotional limit of the material. Some materials exhibits non-lineer elastic behavior in between proportional limit (A) and yield limit (Point B). O 0.002 Yield point can be determined as the intersection of the curve and a straight line drawn as parallel to elastic portion of the curve at a specified strain offset of 0.002. It is assumed that there is no permanent deformation on the material if the sample is unloaded before reaching the yield point. C D ε 42
BC Portion After yielding, the stress necessary to continue plastic deformation in metals increases to a maximum (point C) and then decreases to the eventual fracture (point D). The tensile strength is the stress at the maximum on the engineering stress strain curve. σ A B C D If the material in unloaded in between BC, the curve will follow back with the same E This corresponds to the maximum stress that can be sustained by a structure in tension; if this stress is applied and maintained, fracture will result. O 0.002 The maximum stress which the material can support without breaking is called tensile strength. ε 43
CD Portion (Necking) All deformation up to point C is uniform throughout the narrow region of the tensile specimen. However, at this maximum stress, a small constriction or neck begins to form at some point, and all subsequent deformation is confined at this neck. This phenomenon is termed necking and fracture ultimately occurs at the neck. The fracture strength corresponds to the stress at fracture (Point D). O A 0.002 B C D ε 44

Mechanical Behavior of Ceramics The stress-strain behavior of brittle ceramics is not usually obtained by a tensile test. Because; It is difficult to prepare a tensile test specimen with a specific geometry. It is difficult to grip brittle materials without fracturing them. Ceramics fail after roughly 0.1% strain; Therefore the specimen have to be perfectly aligned, it is very difficult... 72
For Brittle Materials, Bending test is used in determining tensile strength. Bending test - Application of a force to the center of a bar that is supported on each end to determine the resistance of the material to a static or slowly applied load. Flexural strength or modulus of rupture -The stress required to fracture a specimen in a bend test. Flexural modulus - The modulus of elasticity calculated from the results of a bend test, giving the slope of the stress-deflection curve.

The peak stress in 4-point bending test is at an extended region of the specimen in the mid-region. Hence, potantial to encounter a defect or flaw on the maximum stress region is high. Therefore testing the materials with 4-point bending provides more realistic results particularly in heteregeneous materials like concrete. 80
