Stress
𝐹
If an object is in static equilibrium it will look like the object on the right.
In reality the force does not act in an infinitesimally small point, but it will be
distributed over the surface as shows underneath.
𝐹 =𝑚∙𝑔
𝐹 = ∫ 𝜎 ∙ 𝑑𝐴
𝐴
𝜎 is called the stress and it has units 𝑁/𝑚2 . It expresses the intensity of a force. An average stress
can be calculated by:
𝐹
𝜎=
𝐴
However, this only applies for a uniformly distributed load over the entire area.
Stress is a vectors, however scalars are often easier to work with. Therefore a force can be broken
down to different directions and thus the stress.
Perpendicular to a surface: normal stress
The normal stress is computed by:
∆𝐹𝑧 𝑧
𝜎𝑧𝑧 = lim
∆𝐴→0 ∆𝐴
Parallel to a surface: shear stress
∆𝐹𝑦
𝜎𝑧𝑥 = lim
∆𝐴→0 ∆𝐴
𝑦
Sign convention for stresses 𝑥
Stress magnitude
If we have a shear stress:
𝜏𝑥𝑦 → |𝜏| × 𝑥 × 𝑦
Resultant force direction (positive or negative)
Surface normal direction (positive or negative) 𝑦
Complementary stress
Equilibrium is required for the element shown on the right. 𝑥
We find, for normal stress equilibrium:
