Concept of Stress

Consider a rod subjected to an axial force; as a result, a resistive force is developed across the cross-sectional area, which is termed as stress. The SI …

A structure when subjected to transverse forces develops internal forces in the sectional plane between the points where the forces are applied. The …

The stress exerted on a material due to the contact pressure created while interacting with another object is called bearing stress. Consider two plates …

Consider a structure consisting of a boom and a rod designed to support a load. The boom and the rod are joined by a pin and supported by brackets and …

Consider a member subjected to axial forces. Introduce a sectional plane inclined to the normal plane, called an oblique plane. The stresses acting on …

Consider a body subjected to multiple loads. When dissected through a point using a plane parallel to the xy plane, it is observed that the shearing …

The stress components of a body subjected to multiple loading are analyzed by considering a small cube centered at point O. The cube has the normal and …

While designing a structure, the considerations start with the ultimate strength of a material, which is determined through tests, measuring changes under …
