SESG 1001 Mechanics of Solids
Lecture 1 and 2 Introduction to Solid Mechanics
Block 1: Statically Determinate Structures
0 Introduction This module will provide the basic techniques required to analyze and design load-bearing structures. In general, when designing structures we are concerned with ensuring their “structural integrity”. This comprises three aspects of structural performance:
1) The structure should not deform excessively under load 2) The structure should not fail (break) 3) The structure should have sufficient life
Solid mechanics covers the analysis techniques to determine how structures transmit load (force) and how they deform under load. There is a close link to Materials (SESG1003), which covers aspects of elastic deformation, failure and factors that control life (fatigue, creep). Throughout SESG 1001 we will be invoking three basic principles (sometimes called the “three great principles”):
1) Equilibrium of forces 2) Compatibility of displacements 3) Constitutive behavior of materials
We will see how these apply to several classes of structure during the module. Finally, we will be constructing models for how structures behave. These are idealizations (simplifications) of the real structure that enable us to analyze it. A key skill for an engineer is to be able to develop models for physical situations that allow him/her to design and analyze engineering systems. For the moment we will rely on the experience and wisdom of those who have gone before us to examine existing models. In due course we will start developing our own models.
1.0 Statically Determinate Structures (See BCA, Ch1) These are structures for which the force distribution can be determined solely by applying equations of static equilibrium. We will examine three examples during SESG1001: 2-D trusses, bars of varying thickness and pressure vessels.
1.1 Trusses A truss is a structural configuration consisting of bars connected at joints. Generally these are 3-D, but we will only consider 2-D cases in SESG1001. This will start us thinking about models for structures and how we can analyze internal forces in structures.
1.2 Idealized Planar, Pin-Jointed Truss First define an idealized planar truss – this is the model
Page 2
1. All bars are straight 2. Joints between bars are frictionless pins 3. Bars are massless and perfectly rigid (for loading analysis) 4. All loads and reactions are applied at the joints. 5. Loads in members are co-linear (axial), i.e. aligned with long axis of bar. Axial forces in bars also arise from (2).
1.3 Analysis of forces in pin-jointed trusses At this stage we are interested in determining the internal forces carried by the bars of the truss. In due course we will look at deformations and other factors related to determining the structural integrity of trusses Step 1. Determination of External Reactions Draw Free Body Diagram and apply equations of equilibrium EXAMPLE 1: A simple truss (3 bar truss). Note idealizations at support points: pins and/or pins on rollers:
Draw free body diagram (FBD)
Fbar = Fpin (by equilibrium)
Page 3
Apply planar equations of equilibrium: Equilibrium of forces in x1, x2 directions, equilibrium of moments about x3 axis (do not worry about axis symbols for now: x1=x, x2=y, x3=z).
! F1 = 0 +" # " $ HA + HB = 0 (1)
! F2 = 0 " + # VB + 200N = 0 (2)
!M3 = 0 A+ ⇒ 10 •200 ! 5HB = 0 (3)
HB = 400N
From (1)
HA = !400N
Is this statically determinate? – so far yes, we have been able to evaluate all reactions using equilibrium equations. Three reactions apply to the three degrees of freedom (translation in x1 and x2 and rotation about x3) give three equilibrium equations that we can write down.
VB = !200N
Page 4
Redrawing FBD
Step 2. Analysis of forces in bars (Method of Joints)
Now we want to evaluate the forces in the bars of the truss. This requires us to isolate part of the truss, replacing the cut bars by equivalent (equipollent) forces: Draw FBD for joint C, replace bars by equivalent forces (FCB and FCA)

NOTE: there is no opportunity to apply equilibrium of moments, all forces meet at C.

⇒ ⇐
FCB is positive i.e. tensile, pulls out of the joint, FCB is negative, i.e. compression, pushes into the joint. Redraw joint:
Now consider joint, B:
Apply equilibrium

FCA = +400N
Page 6
So what is the purpose of FBA?
As a check, look at joint A
In equilibrium – we have been consistent!
Finally, draw structure
If bar BA were not present a mechanism would result: this is a dynamic problem, not statically determinate

FBA = 0

This approach worked quite well for a truss with only a few bars, or if we want the load in every bar, then we work progressively through the truss. - but may not work for more complicated trusses - or if we only want to isolate a few bars - use method of sections Option 2: Method of Sections Isolate a section (part) of the truss of interest - Draw FBD, determine reactions - "cut" truss into sections (through bars) - Replace cut bars by coincident tensile forces - Apply planar equilibrium equations (positive tensile, negative compressive) All as for method of joints, but: - Can now use equilibrium of moments - Can now have 3 unknown bar forces in a section EXAMPLE 2

Redraw FBD. Is this correct?
Page 10
Is this correct? - Think about cutting members ED - shortens AB – lengthens NOTE: In both methods of joints, method of sections, we solve for the internal forces by isolating part of the structure. Two Tips: • Reduce computation by intelligent choice of method and section to analyze 1 equation, 1 unknown • Check, check and double check as you go!
1.4 Analysis of Truss Deformations For statically determinate trusses we have been able to use static equilibrium to obtain the bar forces. In order to calculate deformation (i.e. displacements of nodes due to loading), we need to invoke the other two great principles: constitutive behavior and compatibility. Constitutive Behavior of Bars in a Truss Will later show that the overall change in length of bar is (for a range of materials, loads)

[NOTE: a real spring has added geometry]
Compatibility For Trusses For truss like structures: • bars extend or contract axially • bars rotate about pin joints • bars remain attached at joints i.e., deflections and rotations must be compatible Consider three bar truss from lecture 1, assume no temperature change:

E = 70GPa
AE = 7 !106N
Page 12
Note; the bar extensions are very small compared to bar lengths Consider what this implies about deformations of 3 bar truss.
we can enlarge the region of interest: assume deflections are small, circular arcs become straight lines at right angles to extension/contraction of bars: displacement diagram
Page 13
Can extend to other joints by considering relative displacements. TIP: Do this on graph paper - measure deflections rather than calculate. 1.4 Concluding Remarks We have taken a quick look at how we can use equilibrium, constitutive behavior to examine the internal forces and deformations of a particular class of statically determinate structure; trusses. Most structures are not made up of discrete bars, instead they consist of continuous elements, e.g. aircraft skins, ship hulls, pressure vessel walls. We need to have analysis tools that allow us to deal with such cases. At the heart of these tools is an understanding of how forces and displacements can be understood in continuous structures. This leads to the ideas of stress and strain.
Page 1
Lectures 4 and 5 Stress
Block 2: Continuum Mechanics: Stress, Strain and Elasticity We want to look more closely at how structures transmit loads. In general, structures are not made up of discrete, 1-D bars, but continuous, complex, 3-D shapes. If we want to understand how they transmit load we need new tools. To this end we will introduce the concept of stress (and later strain). See BCA, Chapters 2 and 11. Definition Stress is the measure of the intensity (per area) of force acting at a point. Use coordinate system
x, y, z! x1, x2, x3 Example:
For each square, increment of force and area given by:
!F1 = F1 nm
!A = A nm
The stress is the intensity, force per unit area, so let m and n go to infinity.

i1 Consider a more general case:
Force F acting on x1face ( i1 is normal to plane of face).
Force, F, is a vector quantity
Page 2
Resolve force into three components
F = F1i1 + F2 i2 + F3i3
Then take the limit as the force on the face is carried by a smaller set of areas.
!A" 0lim !F
!A= 0 (but stress vector has other components)
! = !11i1 + !12 i2 + !13i3 Where !1 is the stress vector and !1n are the components acting on the x1 normal face, in the x1, x2 and x3 directions. We obtain similar results if we looked at the x2 and x3 faces.
! 2 = ! 21i2 +! 22 i2 +! 23i3 on i2 face! 3 = ! 31i1 +! 32 i2 +! 33i3 on i3 face
We can write this more succinctly as:
! m = !mn in
!mn is the stress tensor,
! m is the stress vector. This method of representing a set of vector equations is an example of indicial, or tensor, notation:
Tensor (Indicial) Notation
This is a simple way to write formulae with several terms. Example:
xi = FijY j By Convention Latin subscripts
m,n, i, j, p,q, etc. Take values 1, 2, 3, (3-D) Greek Subscripts
!,",# Take values 1 or 2 (2-D)
!F1!A1
!F2!A1
!F3!A1
Subscripts or indices
Page 3
Three Rules for Tensor Manipulation 1. A subscript occurring twice is a repeated (or dummy) index and is summed over 1, 2, (and)
3. Implicit summation
For
xi = FijY j = FijY jj=1
3!
i.e:
xi = Fi1Y1 + Fi2Y2 + Fi3Y3 2. A subscript occurring once in a term is called a free index, can take on the range 1, 2, (3) but
is not summed. It represents separate equations.
x1 = F11Y1 + F12Y2 + F13Y3x2 = F21Y1 + F22Y2 + F23Y3x3 = F31Y1 + F32Y2 + F33Y3
3. No index can appear in a term more than twice.
Stress Tensor and Stress Types
!mn is the stress tensor Consider a differential cubic element:
!mn
Acts in xn direction Stress acts on face with normal in the xm-direction
Page 4
Types of Stress We can identify two distinct types of stress: Normal (Extensional) - acts normal to face !11,! 22, !33 - acts to extend element Shear Stress - acts parallel to face plane !12,!13,! 21,!23,! 31,!32 - acts to shear element i.e. 9 components of stress, but it turns out that not all of these are independent:

Stress Transformations Just as we need to resolve forces with respect to structural axes - need to resolve stress. Identify directions which "see" maximum stress Two Dimensional Case: Consider a unit square (of unit depth dx3)
What is the stress acting on a plane at an arbitrary angle ! ? Consider equilibrium of a triangular, wedge shaped element:
• Align ˜ x 1 perpendicular to cut face, ˜ x 2 parallel to cut face
Page 7
• The element is of uniform depth dx3 • Must still be in equilibrium of forces:
F = 0! Σ(Stress component x length x depth) note: dx2 = d˜ x 2 cos!
dx1 = d˜ x 2 sin! Equation of equilibrium in ˜ x 1 direction: ˜ ! 11dx3d˜ x 2 " !11dx3 #˜ x 2 cos$[ ]cos$ " !22dx3 #˜ x 2 sin$[ ]sin$ " !12dx3 #˜ x 2 sin$[ ]cos$ " !21dx3 #˜ x 2 cos$[ ]sin$ = 0
cancelling out !˜ x 2 and combining ˜ ! 11 = cos2 " !11 + sin2 " ! 22 + 2 cos" sin" !12 This can be done for ˜ ! 12 and ˜ ! 22 , e.g.
˜ ! 12 = "!11 cos# sin# +! 22 sin# cos# + !12 cos2# " sin2 #( ) note one can always take equilibrium of an element Tensor form Transformation requires direction cosines (see below) Stresses are second order tensors (2 subscripts) and require two direction cosines for transformation. Thus:
˜ ! mn = ! ˜ m p! ˜ n q! pq
• 2nd order tensor requires 2 direction cosines • transforms stress from xn system to ˜ x m system

In 2-D ˜ ! "# = ! ˜ " $! ˜ # %!$%
Direction Cosines
Note: two angles: one for area; one for resulting force

Page 8
Define direction cosine as:
!m˜ n = cos xm ˜ x n[ ] such that
xm = !m˜ n x ˜ n
or ˜ x n = ! ˜ n m xm
where we mean
x1 = !1˜ 1 ̃ x ̃ 1 + !1˜ 2 ̃ x ̃ 2 + !1˜ 3 ̃ x ̃ 3
x2 = !2˜ n ̃ x ̃ n x3 = !3˜ n ̃ x ̃ n
We could use the same idea for forces:
˜ F n = ! ˜ n mFm
First order tensor is a vector (one subscript) requires one direction cosine for transformation. Angles measured positive counter-clockwise. ! ˜ m n = !n ˜ m Since cosine is an even function cos !( ) = cos "!( ) But ! ˜ m n ! ! ˜ n m - different angles 2-D Example

One further way to transform stress is to use "Mohr's Circle" graphical method for rotating 2nd order tensors in 2-D coordinate system
Mohr's Circle for Stress Mohr's circle is a geometric representation of the 2-D transformation of stresses. Construction: Given the state of stress shown below, with the following definition (by Mohr) of positive and negative shear: "Positive shear would cause a clockwise rotation of the infinitessimal element about the element center." Thus: !21 (below) is plotted positive !12 (below) is plotted negative:
Following these rules for the sign of stress do the following:
1. Plot !11, -!12 as point A
2. Plot !22 , !21 as point B
3. Connect A and B. 4. Draw a circle with a diameter given by the line AB about the point where the line AB crosses the horizontal axis (denote this as C).
To read off the stresses for a rotated system: 1. Note that the vertical axis is the shear axis; the horizontal axis is the extensional stress axis. 2. Positive rotations are measured anti-clockwise as referenced to the original system and thus to the line AB.
3. Rotate line AB about point C by the angle 2θ where θ is the angle between the un-rotated and rotated system.
Page 10
4. The points D and E where the rotated line intersects the circle are used to read off the stresses in the rotated system. The vertical location of D is ! ˜ " 1 2; the horizontal location of D is ˜ ! 1 1. The vertical location of E is ˜ ! 2 1, the horizontal location of E is ˜ ! 2 2 (recall Mohr's definition).
We can also immediately see the following: 1. The principal stresses, ! I and ! II are defined by the points G and F (along the horizontal axis ˜ ! 1 2 = 0 ). The rotation angle to the principal axis is θp which is half the angle from the line AB to
the horizontal line FG. 2. The maximum shear stress is defined by the points H and H' which are the endpoints of the vertical line. The line is orthogonal to the principal stress line and thus the maximum shear stress acts along a plane 45° (= 90°/2) from the principal stress system.

SESG1001 Lectures 7 & 8: Strain
We have examined stress, the continuum generalization of forces, now let's look at the
continuum generalization of deformations:
Definition of Strain
Strain is the deformation of the continuum at a point. Or, the relative deformation of an
infinitessimal element.
Two ways that bodies deform: By elongation and shear:
Elongation (extension, tensile strain)
Tensile strain can be thought of as the change in length relative to the original length
tensile strain =Ldeformed ! Lundeformed
Lundeformed
but body can also deform in shear – angles change
Shear
This produces an angle change in the body (with no rotation for pure shear)
Consider infinitesimal element.
Undeformed:
Deformed :
Consider change in angle BPA = φ
φ = undeformed - deformed
NOTE: By convention positive strain is a reduction in angle (consistent with positive
shear stresses)

NOTE: Strain is a non-dimensional quantity
(Just as for stress, strain varies with position and direction. Use tensor formulation to
describe)
Formally Define !mn= strain tensor
There is a general definition of strain, but usually we are concerned with small strains:
change in length < 10% (0.1), change in angles < 5% (0.05)
Good for range of use of most engineering materials, most structural applications.
Allows us to neglect higher order terms and leads to:
Strain - Displacement Relations (for small strains)
Conceptually, want to separate out rigid body translations from
deformations
!11 = relative elongation in x1 direction
!22 = relative elongation in x2 direction.
!33 = relative elongation to x3 direction.
Consider infinitesimal element, side length dx1 undergoing displacements and deformations in the x1 direction defined by
u1 is a field variable = u1 x1,x2, x3( ) , i.e. displacements vary with position
let u1 be the displacement of the left-hand side of the infinitesimal element.

- principal values are eigenvalues - principal directions are eigenvectors Next we will link stress and strain by constitutive behavior and to do this we will need to look at material properties.

SESG1001 Lectures 9 & 10: Elastic Stress-Strain Relations
These lectures will complete our quick journey through continuum mechanics, to provide
you with a continuum version of a constitutive law - at least for linear elastic materials
! pq = E ?"mn
Increasingly, materials are designed along with the structure, you need insight into what
contributes to material properties. These lectures will link to topics you will learn about
in materials lectures and form a foundation for material selection in design.
Engineering Elastic Properties of Materials In order to understand how we link stress and strain we need to understand that there are
two points of view to this matter. There is the experimental point of view that some
properties (behaviors) are easier to measure than others, and there is the mathematical
point of view that some representations of physical phenomena are mathematically easier
to handle than others. In the present case, engineering elastic constants are derived from
an experimental point of view, whereas the stress and strain tensors, are mathematically
useful. We need to resolve these two points of view.
Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio From materials lectures and the materials and solid mechanics labs you will become
familiar with at least two elastic constants.
If we apply a uniaxial tensile stress
! L to a constant cross-section rod of material, we
will obtain a biaxial state of strain, consisting of an axial tensile strain
!L and a
transverse strain
!T . The axial strain will be tensile for a tensile applied stress, and the
Elasticity Where does it come from?
transverse strain will usually be compressive. We can measure the strains using
resistance strain gauges.
For many materials, over some range of applied stress, the applied stress and the resulting
strains will follow a linear relationship. This observation is the basis for the definition of
the engineering elastic constants. The Young’s modulus, E, is defined as the constant of
proportionality between a uniaxial applied stress and the resulting axial strain, i.e:
! L = E"L
Note. This only applies for a uniaxial applied stress, and the component of strain in the
direction of the applied stress.
We can also define the Poisson’s ratio,
! , as the ratio of the transverse strain to the axial
strain. Since for the vast majority of materials the transverse strain is compressive for a
tensile applied stress, the Poisson’s ratio is defined as the negative of this ratio, to give a
positive quantity. I.e:
! = "#T#L
Typically, for metals, ν = ~ 0.3-0.4.
A similar process, of performing experiments in which a well-defined stress state is
applied and the resulting strain state is measured leads us to define other elastic constants,
we will concern ourselves with only one:
The Shear Modulus Application of a state of pure shear, leads to a shear strain:
Note angles are exaggerated in the figure.
An applied shear stress leads to an applied shear strain. The shear strain,
! , is defined in
engineering notation, and therefore equals the total change in angle:
! = " .
Consistent with the definition of the Young’s modulus, the Shear modulus. G, is defined
as:
! = G"
Again, note, that this relationship only holds if a pure shear is applied to a specimen.
For reasons that will become apparent shortly, The Young’s modulus, Shear Modulus and
Poisson’s ratio are linked. For most materials Poission’s ratio’s are approximately 0.33,
and for these materials
G ! 38E . However, values of the Young’s modulus can vary
widely.
The Young’s Moduli of Engineering Materials
A useful way of representing the range of Young’s moduli is to plot them for all the
classes of material against some other material property. Since we are often interested in
lightweight structures, we will choose the density of the materials for this purpose.
From: Material Selection in Mechanical Design, M.F Ashby, Pergamon Press, Oxford,
1992
Note, how the different classes of material tend to cluster: Metals, Polymer, Glasses and
ceramics have similar ranges of density and modulus. There are also some materials that
have quite wide ranges of moduli (and densities), while others are relatively narrowly
banded. Finally note how wide an overall range of moduli is represented, from 0.01 GPA
for foams to 1000 GPA for diamond. The range of densities is somewhat less, but still
spans more than two orders of magnitude. See SESG1003 for more details.
Generalized Hooke's Law We have met the engineering elastic constants, Young's moduli, Shear Moduli and
Poisson's ratio's, and understand that many structural materials behave elastically over
some range of stress and strain.
Now we want to add a mathematical formalism to this physical basis, i.e. our 3rd great
principle, that of constitutive behavior.
A couple of problems we would like to be able to solve: a) what are the strains due to
stresses at an arbitrary angle to the loading direction:
b) We would also like to be able to deal with any state of multiaxial stress and convert to
the resulting strains, or vice versa. To do this we need to revisit tensor stress and strain.
i.e. we want the elastic property that links the stress tensor to the strain tensor:
σmn=Emnpqεpq
Where Emnpq is the 4th order (i.e. 4 subscripts) ELASTICITY (or STIFFNESS) tensor.
e.g:
.
!11 = E1111"11 + E1112"12 + E1113"13 ( p =1,sum on q)
+E1121"21 + E1122"22 + E1123"23 p = 2,sum on q( )
+E1131"31 + E1132"32 + E1133"33 p = 3,sum on q( )
4th order tensor has 81 components, m,n,p,q =1, 2 and 3 therefore 34 = 81 terms
But fortunately there are symmetries which reduce this to only (!) 21 independent
components of the elasticity tensor. In matrix form, this can be written as:

Since it links strains to stresses, Emnpq is also termed the "stiffness tensor". By inverting
the matrix we could also obtain the tensor linking stresses to strains, i.e. εmn=Smnpqσpq
Where Smnpq is the "Compliance" tensor (Why S is for compliance and E is used for
stiffness is unclear to me!)
Even with the simplifications, 21 independent terms seems rather too many to have to
deal with!. Let's go back to the engineering elastic constants and see if we can see how to
simplify this list further.
We know that there are several different classes of material. Most metals and ceramics
are isotropic, that is they have the same properties in any direction that you measure. By
contrast, fiber-reinforced composites may have different properties in different directions,
i.e. they are anisotropic, generalized elasticity provides the framework to analyze these.
Elasticity of Isotropic Materials
In SESG1001 we will only look at isotropic materials. However, we do want to be able
to consider the case in which an element of a structure is loaded by all possible
components of stress and we want to know the resulting strains. Also let's ignore thermal
expansion strains for the time being. We have six components of stress producing six
components of strain, therefore we need a six by six matrix to link them: ! x

We have three separate elastic constants required, i.e: E, ν and G. However if we go
back to our knowledge of stress and strain transformation we can reduce this further.
Remember that the application of a shear stress can be thought of as a shear stress
resulting in a shear strain:
! ="G
or a biaxial stress state, of a combined tension and compression, at 45 degrees to the axis
of pure shear, i.e:
In terms of the Mohr's circles of stress and strain these appear as (note the factor of two
for the representation of shear strain on the Mohr's circle):
For the biaxial tensile and compressive stress the resulting (principal) strain is given by:
!I =" IE
#$" IIE
but for the case of pure shear: !I =12" (From Mohr's Circle -remember the
factor of two between tensor and engineering shear strain)
and: ! = " II = #" I
$% = 2 1E
+&E
' (
) * ! + G =
E2 1 +&( )
So we actually only have two independent elastic constants for an isotropic material.
Note that this only applies for isotropic materials
If we want to go in the reverse direction (i.e. have known strains and want to calculate
stresses) we need to invert the matrix of elastic constants. Note, this situation may arise
because we can experimentally measure strains using strain gauges. The inverse matrix
is usually expressed in terms of groupings of the elastic constant, known as Lamé's
constants, µ& ! , where:

We are now equipped to analyze stresses and strains in simple continuous structures
SESG1001 Lecture 11 1-D Structures In the rest of the course we are going to utilize the principles we have learnt so far (i.e the 3 great principles and their embodiment in the equations of elasticity) in order to be able to analyze simple structural members. These structural members are: Rods, Beams, Shafts and Columns. The key feature of all these structural members is that one dimension is longer than the others (i.e. they are one dimensional). There is a basic logical set of steps that we will follow for each in turn: 1) We will make general modeling assumptions for the particular class of structural member In general these will be on: a) Geometry b) Loading/Stress State c) Deformation/Strain State 2) We will make problem-specific modeling assumptions on the boundary conditions that apply (such as pins, clamps, rollers that we encountered with truss) a.) On stresses b.) On displacements 3) We will apply an appropriate solution method: 1.) Exact/analytical (SESG1001) 2.) Numerical (2 nd , 3rd and 4th year classes) - approximate. Such as energy
methods (finite elements - use computers) Let us see how this works:
At certain locations in the structure
Rods The first 1-D structure that we will analyzes is that of a rod (or bar), such as we encountered when we analyzed trusses. We are interested in analyzing for the stresses and deflections in a rod. First start with a working definition - from which we will derive our modeling assumptions: "A rod (or bar) is a structural member which is long and slender and is capable of carrying load along its axis via elongation" Modeling assumptions a.) Geometry
L = length (x1 dimension) b = width (x2 dimension) h = thickness (x3 dimension) assumption: L much greater than b, h (slender member) (think about the implications of this - what does it imply about the magnitudes of stresses and strains) b.) Loading - loaded in x1 direction only Results in a number of assumptions on the boundary conditions
Similarly on the x3 face - no force is applied
!31 = 0 = !13
!32 = 0 = !23
!33 = 0
on x1 face - take section perpendicular to x1
and c.) deformation Rod cross-section deforms uniformly (is this assumption justified? - yes, there are no shear stresses)
!21 = 0!22 = 0!23 = 0
!12 = 0!13 = 0
!11dA = PA"
!11dx2dx3"" = P
#!11 =Pbh
= PA
So much for modeling assumptions, Now let's apply governing equations and solve.
1. Equilibrium
!"mn!xn

only !11 is non-zero

' ( = 0 √
Further assumptions (Closer inspection reveals that our solutions are not exact.) 1) Cross section changes shape slightly. A is not a constant.
If we solved the equations of elasticity simultaneously, we would account for this. Solving them sequentially is acceptable so long as deformations are small. (δA is second order.)
2) At attachment point boundary conditions are different from those elsewhere on
the rod.
We deal with this by invoking St. Venant's principle: "Remote from the boundary conditions internal stresses and deformations will be insensitive to the exact form of the boundary condition." And the boundary condition can be replaced by a statically equivalent condition (equipollent) without loss of accuracy. How far is remote?
This is the importance of the "long slender" wording of the rod definition. This should have been all fairly obvious. Next time we will start an equivalent process for beams - which require a little more thought.
u1 = 01, u2 = 01, u3 = 0
SESG1001 Lectures 12 and 13 Beam Theory: Bending Moment and Shear Force
Distributions
Reading: Benham, Crawford and Armstrong, 1.10, Ch 6 and Ch 7 A beam is a structural member which is long and slender and is capable of carrying bending loads. i.e loads applied transverse to its long axis. Beams are very common structural members and are to be found across all areas of engineering. Wings, masts, gas turbine blades even whole ships, aircraft or spacecraft can be treated as beams to varying degrees. 1. We will continue, as for 1-D rods to make a set of modeling assumptions: a.) Geometry, slender member, L>>b, h
At this stage, we will assume arbitrary, symmetric cross-sections, i.e.:
b) Loading:
Similar to rods (traction free surfaces) but applied loads can be in the z direction c) Deformation
We will talk about this later 2) Boundary conditions As for rods, trusses
Pinned, simply supported, point load Cantilever, built in support, distributed load Analysis approach: Draw free body diagram, apply equilibrium to determine reactions. 3.) Governing equations Equations of elasticity (stress, strain, constitutive behaviour) 4.) Solution Method
Exact (exactly solve governing differential equations) Approximate (use numerical solution)
Before moving through this process we need to understand how beams transmit load. Internal Forces and Moments Apply methods of sections to beam (also change coordinate system – to x, y, z – consistent with BCA). Method exactly as for trusses. Cut structure at location where we wish to find internal forces, apply equilibrium, obtain forces. In the case of a beam, the structure is continuous, rather than consisting of discrete bars, so we will find that the internal forces (and moments) are, in general, a continuous function of position.

NOTE: At boundaries values go to reactions (moment at root, applied load at tip). These representations are useful because they provide us with a visual indication of where the internal forces on the beam are highest, which will play a role in determining where failure might occur and how we should design the internal structure of the beam (put more material where the forces are higher).

Draw Loading, Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams
Observations • Shear is constant between point loads • Bending moment varies linearly between discrete loads. • Discontinuities occur in S and in slope of M at point of application of concentrated
loads.
• Change in shear equals amount of concentrated loads. • Values of S & M (and F) go to values of reactions at boundaries
Distributed loads e.g. gravity, pressure, inertial loading. Can be uniform or varying with position.

" #
$ % &= q0@ x = 0, = 0@ x = L

We deal with distributed loads in essentially the same way as for point loads.

beam.

Now we will move on to analyze how these internal forces and moments correspond to
the internal stress distribution and deformation of the beam.

Engineering Beam Theory Reading: Benham, Crawford and Armstrong Ch 6 and Ch 7
We have looked at the statics of a beam and we have seen that loads are transmitted by
internal forces: shear forces and bending moments.
Now look at how these forces imply stresses, strains, and deflections.
Recall model assumptions: slenderness
Geometry
L >> h,b
Loads
Leads to assumptions on stresses
Load in x - z plane →
! yy = ! xy = ! yz = 0
Also L >> h,b implies ! xx ,! xz >> ! zz
Consider moment equilibrium of a cross section of a beam loaded by some distributed
stress σzz, which is reacted by axial stresses on the cross section, σxx
General, symmetric, cross section
MX = 0 = ! zzL "! xx# h$! zz! xx
% hL% 0
i.e. geometry of beam implies σxx >> σzz
Assumptions on Deformations: The key to simple beam theory is the Bernoulli - Euler hypotheses (1750)
"Plane sections remain plane and perpendicular to the mid-plane after deformation."
It turns out that this is not really an assumption at all but a geometric necessity, at least
for the case of pure bending.
To see what the implications are of this, consider a beam element, which undergoes
transverse (bending)
deformation.
Obtain deflection in x-direction, displacement u of point k to K, defined by rotation
! .
Note, key assumption, "plane sections remain plane"
w= deflection of midplane/midline (function of x only)
axial displacement, u, of an arbitrary point on the cross-section arises from rotation of
cross, sections
u= -z sin θ
Note, negative sign here due to use of consistent definitions of positive directions for w, x
and dw/dx.
If deformations/angles are small sin! "!
! " dwdx
# u = $z dwdx
(1)
Hence obtain deformation field
u x,y,z( ) = !z dwdx
v x,y,z( ) = 0 nothing happening in y direction
w x,y,z( ) = w x( )
Hence we can obtain distributions of strain. (compatible with deformation). In absence of
deformations in transverse directions partial derivatives can be replaced by regular
derivatives, i.e.
! _! _

First consider relationship between stresses and internal force and moment resultants for
beams (axial force, F, shear force, S, and bending moment M). Consider rectangular

Shear Stresses in Engineering Beam Theory
Note for information – not to be lectured Reading: Benham Crawford and Armstrong 6.14
Returning to the derivations of simple beam theory, the one issue remaining is to
calculate the shear stresses in the beam. We would like to obtain an expression for:

shear is not confined to ! xz . Will also have ! xy (on flanges). E.g.

We will defer discussion of these cases until 2nd year courses. Next: Look at examples of
applying Engineering Beam Theory to examples of beams.

mechanical testing of materials – “four point bending”
Could solve for deflections by writing separate equations for: M(x) for 0 < x < L, L < x < 2L, 2L < x < 3L and integrating each equation separately and matching slope and displacements at interfaces between sections. This is a tedious process. Or we can use:.
Macaulay’s Method (BCA 7.3) Relies on the knowledge that the integral of the moment (i.e. the slope, and deflection) are continuous, smooth functions. Beams do not develop “kinks”. This is a particular example of a class of mathematical functions known as “singularity functions” which are discontinuous functions, defined by their integrals being continuously defined. Apply method of sections to the right of all the applied loads
Write down equilibrium equation for section, leaving quantities such as {x-L} grouped within curly brackets { } Mx=x = 0 M + P{x ! 2L} + P{x ! L} ! Px = 0

Statically Indeterminate Beams (not lectured in 2009) Reading: Benham, Crawford and Armstrong Ch 8.
(Two principal ways to approach.)
1.) By simultaneous application of three great principles
i.e., Set up: equilibrium
Moment - curvature
Geometric Constraints
2.) Superposition
Decompose problem into several statically determinate structures.
Replace constraints by applied loads
Solve for loads required to achieve geometric constraints.
Example: cantilever beam under uniform distributed load, with pin at right hand end.
Solve simultaneously (reactions remain as unknowns in moment-curvature equations)
Equivalent to:

From “standard solutions” or calculation obtain expressions for deflections in case (1)
and case (2):

This is a powerful technique for solving beam problems – statically indeterminate, or
otherwise complex loading.
Note. For superposition to work we must be superimposing the loads and boundary
conditions on the same beam. Only change one variable in each loading case.
L19 Shafts: Torsion of Circular Shafts Reading: Benham, Crawford and Armstrong, Ch 4
A shaft is a structural member which is long and slender and subject to a torque (moment) acting about its long axis. We will only consider circular cross-section shafts in SESG1001. These have direct relevance to circular cross-section shafts such as drive shafts for engines of all types. However, the basic principles are more general and will provide you with a basis for understanding how structures with arbitrary cross-sections carry torsional moments. Torsional stiffness, and the shear stresses that arise from torsional loading are important for the design of aerodynamic surfaces such as wings, and also play a key role in the design of ship hulls, automotive chassis and even hip and knee replacement prosthetics. Modelling assumptions
(a) Geometry (as for beam). Long slender, L >> r (b,h)
Note: For the time being we will work in tensor notation since this is all about shear stresses and tensor notation will make the analysis more straightforward. Remember we can choose the system of notation, coordinates to make life easy for ourselves!
(b) Loading Torque about x1 axis, T (units of Force x length). We may also want to consider the possibility of distributed torques (Force x length/unit length) (distributed aerodynamic moment along a wing, torques due to individual stages of a gas turbine)
No axial loads (forces) applied to boundaries (on curved surfaces with radial normal, or on x1 face)
!11 = !22 = !33 = 0 (c) Deformation
-Cross sections rotate as rigid bodies through twist angle φ, varies with x1 (cf. beams – plane sections remain plane and perpendicular)
- No bending or extensional deformations in x1 direction Cross-section:

L20 Buckling of Simple Columns Benham Crawford and Armstrong: Chapter 10
Elastic instabilities, of which buckling is the most important example, are a key limitation on structural integrity. The key feature of an elastic instability is the transition from a stable mode of deformation with increasing applied load to an unstable one, resulting in collapse (loss of load carrying capability) and possibly failure of the structure. Examples of elastic collapse are the buckling of bars in a truss under compressive load, the failure of columns under compressive load, the failure of the webs of “I” beams in shear, the failure of skin panels or hull plates in shear and many others. The only particular case we will consider in SESG1001 is the failure of a bar or column loaded in axial compression, however, as for the other slender members we have considered, the basic ideas will apply to more complex structures. A structure is in stable equilibrium if, for all possible (small)displacements/deformations, a restoring forces arise. Now apply this idea to a continuous structural member. Model of a column (a) Geometry – identical to a beam, long, straight, slender, symmetric cross-section etc.
(b) Loading – axial compressive axial forces
(c) Deflection At low loads - same as a rod, axial (x) stresses, axial deformation only At higher loads - buckling deflection (transverse) governed by bending relations
