STRESS ():
It is the internal resistance offered by a body against the deformationnumerically, it is given as force per unit area.
Stress on elementary area A,

i.e. lim (N / m )

This unit is called
Pa(Pascal)
In case of normal stress dF always (perpendicular) to
area dA.

generally used

1. Normal Stress:It may be tensile or compressive depending upon the force acting on the material.
Tensile and compressive stresses are called direct stresses.
When, 0, Tensile
When, 0, Compressive
The other types of normal stress is bending normal stress.
Bending stress are linearly distributed from zero at neutral axis to maximum at surface.
In bending, the cross-sectional area rotates about transverse axis and the axis about which the cross-sectional
area rotates is called neutral axis hence in bending, neutral axis is always transverse axis.

Isotropic Material: These materials have same elastic properties in all directions.
No. of independent elastic constants = 2, i.e. if any of 2 elastic constants is known then other can be derived.
Orthotropic Material: The number of independent elastic constants is 9.
Anisotropic materials: These materials don’t have same elastic properties in all directions.
Elastic modulii will vary with additional stresses appearing. There is a coupling between shear stress and normal
stress for an isotropic material.
The number of independent elastic constants is 21.
Hooke’s Law:It states that when a material is loaded such that the intensity of stress is within a certain limit, the
ratio of the intensity of stress to the corresponding strain is a constant which is characteristics of that material.

Point ‘a’ Limit of proportionality: Up to this point ‘a’, Hooke’s law isobeyed; ‘oa’ is a straight line.
Stress corresponding to this point is called ‘proportional limit stress, p’
Upto point a, Hooke’s law is obeyed and stress is proportional to strain. Therefore, OA is straight line.
Point A is called limit of proportionality.
Point ‘b’ Elastic limit point: ‘ab’ is not a straight line but upto point ‘b’ the material remains elastic.

Reduction of area is more a measure of deformation required to produce failure and its chief contribution
results from necking process.
There is a complicate state of stress in necking condition.

PROPERTIES OF METALS:
1. Ductility: It is the characteristics of metal by virtue of which, it can be stretched. Large deformations are thus
possible in these materials before the rupture takes place.
Those metals are ductile which has more than 5% post elastic strain (i.e., plastic strain).
e.g. - Mild Steel, Aluminium, Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead etc.
Yield failure occurs in ductile materials.

This is behavior of material under tensile loading conditions.
2. Brittleness: Tendency of fracture without any appreciable deformation. Hence, for brittle material, fracture point
and ultimate points are same.
Generally non-elastic strain is less than 5%.
e.g. - Cast iron, concrete,glass, etc.
Fracture occurs in brittle materials.
3. Toughness: It is the ability of a material to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracture. It is usually
measured by the energy absorbed in a notched impact test like charpy and Izod test. Higher toughness is desirable
property for materials used for gears, chains, crains etc.
4. Malleability: It is the property by which a material can be uniformly extended in a direction without rupture. A
malleable material possesses a high degree of plasticity. This property is of great use in operations like forging,
hot rolling etc.
This is behavior of material under compressive loading conditions.
5. Hardness:It is defined as the resistance of metal to plastic deformation or scratching, abrasion or cutting.
Test on hardness is classified into:
(a) Scratch test :
(b) Indentation test:
Brinell Hardness method
P
Brinnell hardness number =
d
[D d
2 2
D ]
2
Where, P = Standard load in kg
D = diameter of steel ball (mm)
d = diameter of indent (mm)
Rockwell method
Vicker hardness method
Ductile materials are tough and brittle materials are hard.
6. Fatigue: It is a phenomenon which leads to fracture under repeated or fluctuating cyclic stresses below the
tensile strength of the material.
Fatigue fractures are progressive in nature.
The number of cycles of stress that can be sustained prior to failure for a stated stress condition is called as
fatigue life.

Fatigue or Endurance limitsthe maximum stress below which the material can endure an infinite number of
stress cycle.
e.g. 1. Breaking of wire in reverse cycling bending.
2. Failure of fly-wheel
Factors affecting fatigue are:
(a) Loading condition
(b) Frequency of loading
(c) Corrosion, temperature etc.
Fatigue failure in material depends on cycle frequency
