3. Types of Stresses & Strains
Direct Stress (σ)
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.
Tensile Stress due to tensile force
A tensile force makes the body longer
Compressive Stress due to compressive force
A Compression force makes the body shorter.

4. Tensile and compressive forces are called DIRECT FORCES
Resistance offered by the material per unit cross- sectional area is called STRESS
Tensile and compressive forces are called DIRECT FORCES
Stress is the force per unit area upon which it acts.
or Pascal (Pa)
( σ is called as Sigma)
Note: Most of engineering fields used kPa, MPa, GPa.

5. Direct Strain (ε) Also called as Longitudinal Strain
In each case, a force ‘F’ produces a deformation ‘x’ . In engineering, we usually change this force into stress and the deformation into strain and we define these as follows:
Strain is the deformation per unit of the original length.
Strain, ε = ΔL/L = Change in length/ Original length
(ε is called as Epsilon)
Strain has no unit’s since it is a ratio of length to length L DL

7. Hooke’s law σ = E ε Below the yield stress Stress α Strain (ie) σ α ε
Where E is a constant called as
Youngs Modulus or Modulus of Elasticity

10. Stress (σ) – strain (ε) diagrams
FIG Stress-strain diagram for a typical structural steel in tension (not to scale)
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

12. Working stress
The stress to which the material may be safely subjected in the course of ordinary use. Also called as Allowable Load or Allowable stress
Max load that a structural member/machine component will be allowed to carry under normal conditions of utilisation is considerably smaller than the ultimate load
This smaller load = Allowable load / Working load / Design load
Only a fraction of ultimate load capacity of the member is utilised when allowable load is applied
The remaining portion of the load-carrying capacity of the member is kept in reserve to assure its safe performance
