2. STRESS Stress is defined as external force per unit area which resist force. Stress is denoted by ‘p’. Stress = p = Internal resistance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cross sectional area Cross sectional area = External force = External force ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- C/S Area C/S Area =P/A =P/A

3. TYPES OF STRESS ► Tensile stress : Internal resistance of material against increase in length per against increase in length per unit area. unit area. Compressive Stress : Internal resistance of Compressive Stress : Internal resistance of material against reduction material against reduction in length per unit area in length per unit area

4. TENSILE TEST In order to understand the mechanical behaviour of materials we need to perform experimental testing in the lab A tensile test machine is a typical equipment of a mechanical testing lab ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

5. STRAIN ► Strain is defined as this change in length per unit original length. ► Strain is denoted by ‘e’. ► Strain = e = Change in dimension --------------------------- --------------------------- Original dimension Original dimension

6. MILD STEEL CURVE ► ► Nominal stress and strain (in the calculations we use the initial cross-sectional area A) ► ► True stress (in the calculations we use the cross-sectional area A when failure occurs) ► ► True strain if we use a strain gauge ► ► Stress-strain diagrams contain important information about mechanical properties and behaviour

7. STRESS (σ) – STRAIN (ε) DIAGRAMS OA: Initial region which is linear and proportional Slope of OA is called modulus of elasticity BC: Considerable elongation occurs with no noticeable increase in stress (yielding) CD: Strain hardening – changes in crystalline structure (increased resistance to further deformation) DE: Further stretching leads to reduction in the applied load and fracture OABCE ’ : True stress-strain curve FIG. 1-10 Stress-strain diagram for a typical structural steel in tension (not to scale)

8. STRESS (σ) – STRAIN (ε) DIAGRAMS The strains from zero to point A are so small as compared to the strains from point A to E and can not be seen (it is a vertical line…) Metals, such as structural steel, that undergo permanent large strains before failure are ductile Ductile materials absorb large amounts of strain energy Ductile materials: aluminium, copper, magnesium, lead, molybdenum, nickel, brass, nylon, teflon FIG. 1-12 Stress-strain diagram for a typical structural steel in tension (drawn to scale)

9. FIG. 1-13 Typical stress- strain diagram for an aluminum alloy. ALUMINIUM Although ductile…aluminium alloys typically do not have a clearly definable yield point… However, they have an initial linear region with a recognizable proportional limit Structural alloys have proportional limits in the range of 70-410 MPa and ultimate stresses in the range of 140-550 MPa

10. FIG. 1-16 Typical stress- strain diagram for a brittle material showing the proportional limit (point A) and fracture stress (point B) BRITTLE MATERIAL Brittle materials fail at relatively low strains and little elongation after the proportional limit Brittle materials: concrete, marble, glass, ceramics and metallic alloys The reduction in the cross- sectional area until fracture (point B) is insignificant and the fracture stress (point B) is the same as the ultimate stress

11. FIG. 1-17 Stress-strain diagram for copper in compression COPPER Stress-strain curves in compression are different from those in tension Linear regime and proportional limit are the same for tension and compression for materials such as steel, aluminium and copper (ductile materials) However, after yielding begins the behaviour is different. The material bulges outward and eventually flattens out (curve becomes really steep) Brittle materials have higher ultimate compressive stresses than when they are under tension. They do not flatten out but break at maximum load.
