Stress (ng sut)
Definition
Stress is the internal resistance
oered by a unit area of the
material from which a member is
made to an externally applied
load"
Uniformly distributed stress: the
same magnitude at any point in
the cross section"
Uneven distributed stress:
dierent magnitudes at dierent
points in the cross section"
σ =

dA
Strain is the deformation per unit length of the member, also known as “unit
deformation”"
Deformation can be a result of applied loads or temperature changes"
Strain is dimensionless, but it can be reported as in/in or mm/mm to reflect
deformation per unit length
Stress - strain relationship follows Hooke’s law in elastic material
is the stiness of material or modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus

Reminder
Normal stress (σ): perpendicular, or normal, to the cross
section of the load-carrying member."
One of the most fundamental types of stress"
If the stress is uniform across the resisting area, the stress is
called a “direct normal stress”.
Definition
Direct Normal Stress - ng sut pháp trc tiếp
Reminder
Compressive (Nén) and Tensile (Kéo) Stress
Direct Normal Stress
Compressive stress: tends to
crush the material and
shorten the member
Tensile stress: tends to pull
the material apart and stretch
the member
Direct Normal Stress
Example Problem
Solution:
Objective: Compute the stress in
the support rods"
Given: Casting weighs 11.2 kN.
Each rod carries half the load.%
Rod diameter = D = 12.0 mm"
Analysis: Direct tensile stress is
produced in each rod
Problem:
Two circular rods carrying a
casting weighing 11.2 kN. If each
rod is 12.0 mm in diameter and
the two rods share the load
equally, compute the stress in the
rods
