Module 1: Elasticity1.1.1 INTRODUCTION
If the external forces producing deformation do not exceed a certain limit, the deformation disappearswith the removal of the forces. Thus the elastic behavior implies the absence of any permanentdeformation. Elasticity has been developed following the great achievement of Newton in stating the lawsof motion, although it has earlier roots. The need to understand and control the fracture of solids seems tohave been a first motivation. Leonardo da Vinci sketched in his notebooks a possible test of the tensilestrength of a wire. Galileo had investigated the breaking loads of rods under tension and concluded thatthe load was independent of length and proportional to the cross section area, this being the first steptoward a concept of stress.
Every engineering material possesses a certain extent of elasticity. The common materials of constructionwould remain elastic only for very small strains before exhibiting either plastic straining or brittle failure.However, natural polymeric materials show elasticity over a wider range (usually with time or rate effectsthus they would more accurately be characterized as viscoelastic), and the widespread use of naturalrubber and similar materials motivated the development of finite elasticity. While many roots of thesubject were laid in the classical theory, especially in the work of Green, Gabrio Piola, and Kirchhoff inthe mid-1800's, the development of a viable theory with forms of stress-strain relations for specificrubbery elastic materials, as well as an understanding of the physical effects of the nonlinearity in simple
problems such as torsion and bending, was mainly the achievement of the British-born engineer andapplied mathematician Ronald S. Rivlin in the1940's and 1950's.
1.1.2 T HE G ENERAL T HEORY OF E LASTICITY Linear elasticity as a general three-dimensional theory has been developed in the early 1820's based onCauchy's work. Simultaneously, Navier had developed an elasticity theory based on a simple particlemodel, in which particles interacted with their neighbours by a central force of attraction betweenneighboring particles. Later it was gradually realized, following work by Navier, Cauchy, and Poisson inthe 1820's and 1830's, that the particle model is too simple. Most of the subsequent developments of thissubject were in terms of the continuum theory. George Green highlighted the maximum possible numberof independent elastic moduli in the most general anisotropic solid in 1837. Green pointed out that theexistence of elastic strain energy required that of the 36 elastic constants relating the 6 stress componentsto the 6 strains, at most 21 could be independent. In 1855, Lord Kelvin showed that a strain energyfunction must exist for reversible isothermal or adiabatic response and showed that temperature changesare associated with adiabatic elastic deformation. The middle and late 1800's were a period in whichmany basic elastic solutions were derived and applied to technology and to the explanation of natural
phenomena. Adhémar-Jean-Claude Barré de Saint-Venant derived in the 1850's solutions for the torsionof noncircular cylinders, which explained the necessity of warping displacement of the cross section inthe direction parallel to the axis of twisting, and for the flexure of beams due to transverse loading; thelatter allowed understanding of approximations inherent in the simple beam theory of Jakob Bernoulli,Euler, and Coulomb. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz developed solutions for the deformation of elastic solids asthey are brought into contact and applied these to model details of impact collisions. Solutions for stressand displacement due to concentrated forces acting at an interior point of a full space were derived byKelvin and those on the surface of a half space by Boussinesq and Cerruti. In 1863 Kelvin had derived the
basic form of the solution of the static elasticity equations for a spherical solid, and this was applied infollowing years for calculating the deformation of the earth due to rotation and tidal force and measuring

the effects of elastic deformability on the motions of the earth's rotation axis.
1.1.3 ASSUMPTIONS OF L INEAR E LASTICITY
In order to evaluate the stresses, strains and displacements in an elasticity problem, one needs to derive aseries of basic equations and boundary conditions. During the process of deriving such equations, one canconsider all the influential factors, the results obtained will be so complicated and hence practically nosolutions can be found. Therefore, some basic assumptions have to be made about the properties of the
body considered to arrive at possible solutions. Under such assumptions, we can neglect some of theinfluential factors of minor importance. The following are the assumptions in classical elasticity.
The Body is Continuous
Here the whole volume of the body is considered to be filled with continuous matter, without any void.Only under this assumption, can the physical quantities in the body, such as stresses, strains anddisplacements, be continuously distributed and thereby expressed by continuous functions of coordinatesin space. However, these assumptions will not lead to significant errors so long as the dimensions of the
body are very large in comparison with those of the particles and with the distances between neighbouring particles.
The Body is Perfectly Elastic
The body is considered to wholly obey Hooke's law of elasticity, which shows the linear relations between the stress components and strain components. Under this assumption, the elastic constants will be independent of the magnitudes of stress and strain components.
The Body is Homogenous
In this case, the elastic properties are the same throughout the body. Thus, the elastic constants will beindependent of the location in the body. Under this assumption, one can analyse an elementary volumeisolated from the body and then apply the results of analysis to the entire body.
The Body is IsotropicHere, the elastic properties in a body are the same in all directions. Hence, the elastic constants will beindependent of the orientation of coordinate axes.
The Displacements and Strains are Small
The displacement components of all points of the body during deformation are very small in comparisonwith its original dimensions and the strain components and the rotations of all line elements are muchsmaller than unity. Hence, when formulating the equilibrium equations relevant to the deformed state, thelengths and angles of the body before deformation are used. In addition, when geometrical equationsinvolving strains and displacements are formulated, the squares and products of the small quantities areneglected. Therefore, these two measures are necessary to linearize the algebraic and differential
equations in elasticity for their easier solution.
1.1.4 A PPLICATIONS OF L INEAR E LASTICITY
The very purpose of application of elasticity is to analyse the stresses and displacements of elementswithin the elastic range and thereby to check the sufficiency of their strength, stiffness and stability.Although, elasticity, mechanics of materials and structural mechanics are the three branches of solidmechanics, they differ from one another both in objectives and methods of analysis.

3 Applied Elasticity for Engineers T.G.Sitharam & L.GovindaRaju
Mechanics of materials deals essentially with the stresses and displacements of a structural or machineelement in the shape of a bar, straight or curved, which is subjected to tension, compression, shear,
bending or torsion. Structural mechanics, on the basis of mechanics of materials, deals with the stressesand displacements of a structure in the form of a bar system, such as a truss or a rigid frame. Thestructural elements that are not in form of a bar, such as blocks, plates, shells, dams and foundations, theyare analysed only using theory of elasticity. Moreover, in order to analyse a bar element thoroughly andvery precisely, it is necessary to apply theory of elasticity.
Although bar shaped elements are studied both in mechanics of materials and in theory of elasticity, themethods of analysis used here are not entirely the same. When the element is studied in mechanics ofmaterials, some assumptions are usually made on the strain condition or the stress distribution. Theseassumptions simplify the mathematical derivation to a certain extent, but many a times inevitably reducethe degree of accuracy of the results obtained. However, in elasticity, the study of bar-shaped elementusually does not need those assumptions. Thus the results obtained by the application of elasticity theory
are more accurate and may be used to check the appropriate results obtained in mechanics of materials.While analysing the problems of bending of straight beam under transverse loads by the mechanics ofmaterials, it is usual to assume that a plane section before bending of the beam remains plane even afterthe bending. This assumption leads to the linear distribution of bending stresses. In the theory ofelasticity, however one can solve the problem without this assumption and prove that the stressdistribution will be far from linear variation as shown in the next sections.
Further, while analysing for the distribution of stresses in a tension member with a hole, it is assumed inmechanics of materials that the tensile stresses are uniformly distributed across the net section of themember, whereas the exact analysis in the theory of elasticity shows that the stresses are by no meansuniform, but are concentrated near the hole; the maximum stress at the edge of the hole is far greater than
the average stress across the net section.The theory of elasticity contains equilibrium equations relating to stresses; kinematic equations relatingthe strains and displacements; constitutive equations relating the stresses and strains; boundary conditionsrelating to the physical domain; and uniqueness constraints relating to the applicability of the solution.

Module 2: Analysis of Stress
2.1.1 I NTRODUCTION
body under the action of external forces, undergoes distortion and the effect due to thissystem of forces is transmitted throughout the body developing internal forces in it. To
examine these internal forces at a point O in Figure 2.1 (a), inside the body, consider a planeMN passing through the point O. If the plane is divided into a number of small areas, as inthe Figure 2.1 (b), and the forces acting on each of these are measured, it will be observedthat these forces vary from one small area to the next. On the small area AD at point O, aforce F D will be acting as shown in the Figure 2.1 (b). From this the concept of stress as theinternal force per unit area can be understood. Assuming that the material is continuous, theterm "stress" at any point across a small area AD can be defined by the limiting equation as
below.

double suffix for notation is used for shear stresses like ,, xz xy t t etc. xyt means a stress,

These values of the threeintensities are defined as the "Stress components" associated with the X -face at point O.The stress components parallel to the surface are called "Shear stress components" denoted
by t . The shear stress component acting on the X -face in the y-direction is identified as t xy.
The stress component perpendicular to the face is called "Normal Stress" or "Direct stress"component and is denoted by s . This is identified as s x along X -direction.

2.1.4 S TRESS T ENSOR
Let O be the point in a body shown in Figure 2.1 (a). Passing through that point, infinitelymany planes may be drawn. As the resultant forces acting on these planes is the same, thestresses on these planes are different because the areas and the inclinations of these planes
are different. Therefore, for a complete description of stress, we have to specify not only itsmagnitude, direction and sense but also the surface on which it acts. For this reason, the stress is called a "Tensor".
Figure 2.4 Stress components acting on parallelopiped
Figure 2.4 depicts three-orthogonal co-ordinate planes representing a parallelopiped onwhich are nine components of stress. Of these three are direct stresses and six are shearstresses. In tensor notation, these can be expressed by the tensor t ij, where i = x, y, z and j =
x, y, z. In matrix notation, it is often written as

s m =3
z y x s s s ++ (2.4)
Imagine a hydrostatic type of stress having all the normal stresses equal to s m, and allthe shear stresses are zero. We can divide the stress tensor into two parts, one havingonly the "hydrostatic stress" and the other, "deviatorial stress". The hydrostatic type ofstress is given by

Here the hydrostatic type of stress is known as "spherical stress tensor" and the other isknown as the "deviatorial stress tensor".
It will be seen later that the deviatorial part produces changes in shape of the body andfinally causes failure. The spherical part is rather harmless, produces only uniform volumechanges without any change of shape, and does not necessarily cause failure.

2.1.6 I NDICIAL NOTATION
An alternate notation called index or indicial notation for stress is more convenient forgeneral discussions in elasticity. In indicial notation, the co-ordinate axes x, y and z arereplaced by numbered axes x1, x2 and x3 respectively. The components of the force DF ofFigure 2.1 (a) is written as DF 1, DF 2 and DF 3, where the numerical subscript indicates thecomponent with respect to the numbered coordinate axes.The definitions of the components of stress acting on the face x1can be written in indicialform as follows:

2.1.7 T YPES OF STRESS
Stresses may be classified in two ways, i.e., according to the type of body on which they act,or the nature of the stress itself. Thus stresses could be one-dimensional, two-dimensional orthree-dimensional as shown in the Figure 2.5.

A two-dimensional state-of-stress exists when the stresses and body forces are independentof one of the co-ordinates. Such a state is described by stresses y x s s , and t xy and the Xand Y body forces (Here z is taken as the independent co-ordinate axis).
We shall now determine the equations for transformation of the stress components

Consider an infinitesimal wedge as shown in Fig.2.7 cut from the loaded body in Figure 2.6.
It is required to determine the stresses x¢s and y x ¢¢t , that refer to axes y x ¢¢, making an
angle q with axes X , Y as shown in the Figure. Let side MN be normal to the x¢axis.
Considering x¢s and y x ¢¢t as positive and area of side MN as unity, the sides MP and PN have
areas cosq and sinq , respectively.
Equilibrium of the forces in the x and y directions requires that
T x = s x cosq + t xy sinq T y = t xy cosq + s y sinq (2.9)

where T x and T y are the components of stress resultant acting on MN in the x and y directions respectively. The normal and shear stresses on the x ' plane (MN plane) areobtained by projecting T x and T y in the x¢ and y¢ directions.
x¢s = T x cosq + T y sinq (2.10)
y x ¢¢t = T y cosq - T x sinq
Upon substitution of stress resultants from Equation (2.9), the Equations (2.10) become
x¢s = s x cos 2q + s y sin 2q + 2t xy sinq cosq
y x ¢¢t = xyt (cos2q - sin2q )+( s y -s x) sinq cosq (2.11)

As 2q = tan ( p + 2q ), two directions, mutually perpendicular, are found to satisfy equation(2.14). These are the principal directions, along which the principal or maximum andminimum normal stresses act.

When Equation (2.12c) is compared with Equation (2.13), it becomes clear that 0=¢¢ y xt on
a principal plane. A principal plane is thus a plane of zero shear. The principal stresses aredetermined by substituting Equation (2.14) into Equation (2.12a)

Algebraically, larger stress given above is the maximum principal stress, denoted by s 1.The minimum principal stress is represented by s 2.
Similarly, by using the above approach and employing Equation (2.12c), an expression forthe maximum shear stress may also be derived.
2.1.10 C AUCHY’S STRESS P RINCIPLE
According to the general theory of stress by Cauchy (1823), the stress principle can be statedas follows:
Consider any closed surface S ¶
within a continuum of region B that separates the region B into subregions B1 and B2. The interaction between these subregions can be represented by afield of stress vectors ( )nT ˆ defined on S ¶ . By combining this principle with Euler’sequations that expresses balance of linear momentum and moment of momentum in any kindof body, Cauchy derived the following relationship.
T ( )n̂ = -T ( )n̂- T ( )n̂ = s T ( )n̂ (2.16)
where ( )n̂ is the unit normal to S ¶ and s is the stress matrix. Furthermore, in regionswhere the field variables have sufficiently smooth variations to allow spatial derivatives upto
any order, we have r A = div s + f (2.17)
where r = material mass density A = acceleration field f = Body force per unit volume.
This result expresses a necessary and sufficient condition for the balance of linearmomentum. When expression (2.17) is satisfied,
s = s T (2.18) which is equivalent to the balance of moment of momentum with respect to an arbitrary
point. In deriving (2.18), it is implied that there are no body couples. If body couples and/orcouple stresses are present, Equation (2.18) is modified but Equation (2.17) remainsunchanged.
Cauchy Stress principle has four essential ingradients

(i) The physical dimensions of stress are (force)/(area).(ii) Stress is defined on an imaginary surface that separates the region under consideration
into two parts.(iii) Stress is a vector or vector field equipollent to the action of one part of the material on
the other.
(iv) The direction of the stress vector is not restricted.

Consider a small tetrahedron isolated from a continuous medium (Figure 2.9) subjected to ageneral state of stress. The body forces are taken to be negligible. Let the arbitrary plane
ABC be identified by its outward normal n whose direction cosines are l, m and n.
In the Figure 2.9, z y x T T T ,, are the Cartesian components of stress resultant T , acting on
oblique plane ABC. It is required to relate the stresses on the perpendicular planesintersecting at the origin to the normal and shear stresses acting on ABC.
The orientation of the plane ABC may be defined in terms of the angle between a unit
normal n to the plane and the x, y, z directions. The direction cosines associated with theseangles are
cos (n, x ) = lcos (n, y ) = m and (2.19)cos (n, z ) = n
The three direction cosines for the n direction are related by

Figure 2.9 Stresses acting on face of the tetrahedron
The area of the perpendicular plane PAB , PAC , PBC may now be expressed in terms of A,the area of ABC, and the direction cosines.
Therefore, Area of PAB = APAB = A x = A.i
= A (li + mj + nk ) i
Hence, APAB = Al
The other two areas are similarly obtained. In doing so, we have altogether
APAB = Al, A PAC = Am, A PBC = An (2.21)
Here i, j and k are unit vectors in x, y and z directions, respectively.
Now, for equilibrium of the tetrahedron, the sum of forces in x, y and z directions must be zero.
Therefore, T x A = s x Al + t xy Am + t xz An (2.22)

Dividing throughout by A, we getT x = s x l + t xy m + t xz n (2.22a)
Similarly, for equilibrium in y and z directions,T y = t xy l + s y m + t yz n (2.22b)
T z = t xz l + t yz m + s z n (2.22c)
The stress resultant on A is thus determined on the basis of known stresses ,,, z y x s s s
zx yz xy t t t ,, and a knowledge of the orientation of A.
The Equations (2.22a), (2.22b) and (2.22c) are known as Cauchy’s stress formula. Theseequations show that the nine rectangular stress components at P will enable one to determinethe stress components on any arbitrary plane passing through point P .
2.1.13 S TRESS T RANSFORMATION
When the state or stress at a point is specified in terms of the six components with referenceto a given co-ordinate system, then for the same point, the stress components with referenceto another co-ordinate system obtained by rotating the original axes can be determined usingthe direction cosines.
Consider a cartesian co-ordinate system X, Y and Z as shown in the Figure 2.10. Let thisgiven co-ordinate system be rotated to a new co-ordinate system z,y,x ¢¢¢ where

y x ¢¢t = s x l1 l2+ s y m1 m2+ s z n1 n2+ t xy (l1 m2+ m 1 l2)+ t yz (m1 n2 + n 1 m2 ) + t xz (n1l2 + l 1n2)(2.25a)

Recalling that the stresses on three mutually perpendicular planes are required to specify thestress at a point (one of these planes being the oblique plane in question), the remainingcomponents are found by considering those planes perpendicular to the oblique plane.

z y y y ¢¢¢¢ t t s ,, would be derived. In a similar manner the stresses y z x z z ¢¢¢¢¢ t t s ,, are
determined when n coincides with the z¢ direction. Owing to the symmetry of stress tensor,only six of the nine stress components thus developed are unique. The remaining stresscomponents are as follows:
y¢s = s x l22 + s y m
22 + s z n
22 + 2 (t xy l2 m2 + t yz m2 n2 + t xz l2 n2) (2.25c)

z y ¢¢t = s x l2 l3 +s y m2 m3 +s z n2 n3+t xy (m2 l3 + l2 m3)+t yz (n2 m3 + m 2 n3)+t xz (l2 n3 + n 2 l3) (2.25e)
The Equations (2.25 to 2.25e) represent expressions transforming the quantities
xz yz xy y x t t t s s ,,,, to completely define the state of stress.
It is to be noted that, because x¢, y¢ and z¢ are orthogonal, the nine direction cosines must
satisfy trigonometric relations of the following form.l 2

Module 2: Analysis of Stress
2.2.1 P RINCIPAL STRESS IN T HREE DIMENSIONS
For the three-dimensional case, for principal stresses it is required that three planes of zeroshear stress exist, that these planes are mutually perpendicular, and that on these planes thenormal stresses have maximum or minimum values. As discussed earlier, these normal
stresses are referred to as principal stresses, usually denoted by s 1 , s 2 and s 3. The largest
stress is represented by s 1 and the smallest by s 3.
Again considering an oblique plane x¢, the normal stress acting on this plane is given by theEquation (2.25).
x¢s = s x l2
+ s y m2
+ s z n2
+ 2 (t xy lm + t yz mn + t xz ln ) (2.27)The problem here is to determine the extreme or stationary values of x¢s . To accomplish
this, we examine the variation of x¢s relative to the direction cosines. As l, m and n are not
independent, but connected by l2 + m 2 + n 2 = 1 , only l and m may be regarded asindependent variables.
Thus,
l x

Differentiating Equation (2.27), in terms of the quantities in Equations (2.22a), (2.22b),(2.22c), we obtain

Introducing the above into Equation (2.27b), the following relationship between thecomponents of T and n is determined

These proportionalities indicate that the stress resultant must be parallel to the unit normaland therefore contains no shear component. Therefore from Equations (2.22a), (2.22b),
(2.22c) we can write as below denoting the principal stress by Ps
T x = s P l T y = s P m T z = s P n (2.27d)
These expressions together with Equations (2.22a), (2.22b), (2.22c) lead to
(s x - s P)l + t xy m + t xz n = 0
t xy l+ (s y - s P) m + t yz n = 0 (2.28)
t xz l + t yz m + (s z - s P) n = 0
A non-trivial solution for the direction cosines requires that the characteristic determinantshould vanish.

Invariants mean those quantities that are unexchangeable and do not vary under differentconditions. In the context of stress tensor, invariants are such quantities that do not changewith rotation of axes or which remain unaffected under transformation, from one set of axes

to another. Therefore, the combination of stresses at a point that do not change with theorientation of co-ordinate axes is called stress-invariants. Hence, from Equation (2.30)
s x + s y + s z = I 1 = First invariant of stress
s xs y + s ys z + s zs x - t 2xy - t 2
yz - t 2zx = I 2 = Second invariant of stress
s xs ys z - s xt 2yz - s yt 2

of a body and therefore must be in equilibrium if the entire body is to be in equilibrium. It isto be noted that the components of stress generally vary from point to point in a stressed
body. These variations are governed by the conditions of equilibrium of statics. Fulfillmentof these conditions establishes certain relationships, known as the differential equations ofequilibrium. These involve the derivatives of the stress components.
Assume that s x, s y, t xy, t yx are functions of X, Y but do not vary throughout the thickness(are independent of Z ) and that the other stress components are zero.
Also assume that the X and Y components of the body forces per unit volume, F x and F y,are independent of Z , and that the Z component of the body force F z = 0 . As the element isvery small, the stress components may be considered to be distributed uniformly over eachface.

Sign Convention
For the purposes of constructing and reading values of stress from Mohr’s circle, the signconvention for shear stress is as follows.
If the shearing stresses on opposite faces of an element would produce shearing forces that result in a clockwise couple, these stresses are regarded as "positive".
Procedure for Obtaining Mohr’s Circle
1) Establish a rectangular co-ordinate system, indicating + t and + s . Both stress scalesmust be identical.
2) Locate the centre C of the circle on the horizontal axis a distance ( )Y X s s +21

of a spherical surface inscribed within a cubic element as shown. It is to be noted that PQ ,
running from the origin of the principal axis system to point Q , is the line of intersection of
the shaded planes (Figure 2.15 (a)). The inclination of plane PA 2QB 3 relative to the s 1 axis
is given by the angle q (measured in the s 1 , s 3 plane), and that of plane PA 3QB 1, by the
angle F (measured in the s 1 and s 2 plane). Circular arcs A1 B1 A2 and A1 B3 A3 are located on

Procedure to determine Normal Stress ( ) and Shear Stress ( )
1) Establish a Cartesian co-ordinate system, indicating + s and + t as shown. Lay off the
principal stresses along the s -axis, with s 1 > s 2 > s 3 (algebraically).
2) Draw three Mohr semicircles centered at C 1, C 2 and C 3 with diameters A1 A2, A2 A3 and A1 A3.
3) At point C 1, draw line C 1 B1 at angle 2f ; at C 3, draw C 3 B3 at angle 2q . These lines cut
circles C 1 and C 3 at B1 and B3 respectively.
4) By trial and error, draw arcs through points A3 and B1 and through A2 and B3, with their
centres on the s -axis. The intersection of these arcs locates point Q on the s , t plane.
In connection with the construction of Mohr’s circle the following points are of particular interest:
a) Point Q will be located within the shaded area or along the circumference of circles C 1,
C 2 or C 3, for all combinations of q and f .
b) For particular case q = f = 0, Q coincides with A1.
c) When q = 450, f = 0, the shearing stress is maximum, located as the highest pointon circle C 3 (2q = 900). The value of the maximum shearing stress is therefore

s s t -= acting on the planes bisecting the planes of maximum and minimum

d) When q = f = 450, line PQ makes equal angles with the principal axes. The oblique plane is, in this case, an octahedral plane, and the stresses along on the plane, theoctahedral stresses.
2.2.9 G ENERAL E QUATIONS IN C YLINDRICAL C O-ORDINATES
While discussing the problems with circular boundaries, it is more convenient to use the
cylindrical co-ordinates, r, q , z . In the case of plane-stress or plane-strain problems, we have
0== z zr q t t and the other stress components are functions of r and q only. Hence the
cylindrical co-ordinates reduce to polar co-ordinates in this case. In general, polar
co-ordinates are used advantageously where a degree of axial symmetry exists. Examplesinclude a cylinder, a disk, a curved beam, and a large thin plate containing a circular hole.

3.1.1 I NTRODUCTION
o define normal strain, refer to the following Figure 3.1 where line AB of an axiallyloaded member has suffered deformation to become B A ¢¢ .
Figure 3.1 Axially loaded bar
The length of AB is D x. As shown in Figure 3.1(b), points A and B have each been displaced,
i.e., at point A an amount u, and at point B an amount u+ Du. Point B has been displaced by
an amount Du in addition to displacement of point A, and the length D x has been increased
by Du. Now, normal strain may be defined as
dxdu

x x =
DD=
®D 0lime (3.0)
In view of the limiting process, the above represents the strain at a point. Therefore "Strain
is a measure of relative change in length, or change in shape".

Figure 3.2(a), 3.2(b), 3.2(c), 3.2(d) represent one-dimensional, two-dimensional,three-dimensional and shear strains respectively.
In case of two-dimensional strain, two normal or longitudinal strains are given by

+ ve sign applies to elongation; –ve sign, to contraction.
Now, consider the change experienced by right angle DAB in the Figure 3.2 (d). The total
angular change of angle DAB between lines in the x and y directions, is defined as the
shearing strain and denoted by g xy.

Consider an infinitesimal line element PQ in the undeformed geometry of a medium as

into the line element QP ¢¢ . In general, both the length and the direction of PQ are changed.
Let the co-ordinates of P and Q before deformation be ( ) ( ) z z y y x x z y x D+D+D+ ,,,,, respectively and the displacement vector at point P have components ( u, v, w).
The co-ordinates of P, P ¢and Q are

3.1.9 P RINCIPAL STRAINS - STRAIN INVARIANTS
During the discussion of the state of stress at a point, it was stated that at any point in acontinuum there exists three mutually orthogonal planes, known as Principal planes, onwhich there are no shear stresses.
Similar to that, planes exist on which there are no shear strains and only normal strainsoccur. These planes are termed as principal planes and the corresponding strains are known
as Principal strains. The Principal strains can be obtained by first determining the three
mutually perpendicular directions along which the normal strains have stationary values.
Hence, for this purpose, the normal strains given by Equation (3.6b) can be used.
i.e., nlmnlmnml zx yz xy z y xPQ g g g e e e e +++++= 222
As the values of l, m and n change, one can get different values for the strain PQe .
Therefore, to find the maximum or minimum values of strain, we are required to equate

Module 3: Analysis of Strain
3.2.1 M OHR’S C IRCLE FOR STRAIN
The Mohr’s circle for strain is drawn and that the construction technique does not differ fromthat of Mohr’s circle for stress. In Mohr’s circle for strain, the normal strains are plotted onthe horizontal axis, positive to right. When the shear strain is positive, the point representing
the x-axis strains is plotted at a distance2g
below the e -line; and the y-axis point a distance
2g
above the e -line; and vice versa when the shear strain is negative.
By analogy with stress, the principal strain directions are found from the equations

3.2.2 E QUATIONS OF C OMPATABILITY FOR STRAIN
Expressions of compatibility have both mathematical and physical significance. From amathematical point of view, they assert that the displacements u, v, w are single valued andcontinuous functions. Physically, this means that the body must be pieced together.
The kinematic relations given by Equation (3.3) connect six components of strain to onlythree components of displacement. One cannot therefore arbitrarily specify all of the strainsas functions of x, y, z . As the strains are not independent of one another, in what way they
are related? In two dimensional strain, differentiation of e x twice with respect to y, e y twice
with respect to x, and g xy with respect to x and y results in

This is the condition of compatibility of the two dimensional problem, expressed in terms ofstrain. The three-dimensional equations of compatibility are derived in a similar manner:
Thus, in order to ensure a single-valued, continuous solution for the displacementcomponents, certain restrictions have to be imposed on the strain components.These resulting equations are termed the compatibility equations.
Suppose if we consider a triangle ABC before straining a body [Figure 3.4(a)] then the sametriangle may take up one of the two possible positions Figure 3.4(b) and Figure 3.4(c)) afterstraining, if an arbitrary strain field is specified. A gap or an overlapping may occur, unlessthe specified strain field obeys the necessary compatibility conditions.

3.2.3 M EASUREMENT OF SURFACE STRAINS - STRAIN R OSETTES
Strain Rosettes
Whenever a material is subjected to plane stress, it is desirable to obtain the stresses by directmeasurement. As the stresses cannot be measured directly, it is essential to measure thestrains or deformation that takes place in the material during loading. These strains ordeformations are measured with sensitive strain gauges attached to the surface of the body
before it is loaded so that these gauges can record the amount of strain that takes placeduring loading. It is more accurate and easier to measure in the neighbourhood of a chosen
point on the surface of the body, the linear strains in different directions and then computefrom these measurements the magnitudes and directions of the principal strains 1e and 2e .Such a group of strain gauges is called a strain rosette.
Strain Transformation Laws
If the components of strain at a point in a body are represented as y x e e , and xyg with
reference to the rectangular co-ordinate axes OX and OY, then the strain components withreference to a set of axes inclined at an angle q with axis OX can be expressed as

Module : 4 Stress-Strain Relations
4.1.1 I NTRODUCTION
n the previous chapters, the state of stress at a point was defined in terms of sixcomponents of stress, and in addition three equilibrium equations were developed to relate
the internal stresses and the applied forces. These relationships were independent of thedeformations (strains) and the material behaviour. Hence, these equations are applicableto all types of materials.
Also, the state of strain at a point was defined in terms of six components of strain. Thesesix strain-displacement relations and compatibility equations were derived in order to relateuniquely the strains and the displacements at a point. These equations were also independentof the stresses and the material behavior and hence are applicable to all materials.
Irrespective of the independent nature of the equilibrium equations and strain-displacementrelations, in practice, it is essential to study the general behaviour of materials under appliedloads including these relations. This becomes necessary due to the application of a load,stresses, deformations and hence strains will develop in a body. Therefore in a generalthree-dimensional system, there will be 15 unknowns namely 3 displacements, 6 strains and6 stresses. In order to determine these 15 unknowns, we have only 9 equations such as 3equilibrium equations and 6 strain-displacement equations. It is important to note that thecompatibility conditions as such cannot be used to determine either the displacements orstrains. Hence the additional six equations have to be based on the relationships between sixstresses and six strains. These equations are known as "Constitutive equations" because theydescribe the macroscopic behavior of a material based on its internal constitution.
4.1.2 L INEAR E LASTICITY -G ENERALISED H OOKE’S L AW
There is a unique relationship between stress and strain defined by Hooke’s Law, which isindependent of time and loading history. The law assumes that all the strain changesresulting from stress changes are instantaneous and the system is completely reversible andall the input energy is recovered in unloading.
In case of uniaxial loading, stress is related to strain as
x x E e s = (4.0)
where E is known as "Modulus of Elasticity".
The above expression is applicable within the linear elastic range and is calledHooke’s Law.
In general, each strain is dependent on each stress. For example, the strain xe written as a
function of each stress is

xe = C 11 xs + C 12 ys + C 13 zs + C 14 xyt + C 15 yzt + C 16 zxt + C 17 xzt + C 18 zyt + C 19 yxt
(4.1)
Similarly, stresses can be expressed in terms of strains stating that at each point in a material,each stress component is linearly related to all the strain components. This is known as
"Generalised Hook’s Law".For the most general case of three-dimensional state of stress, equation (4.0) can be writtenas
) { }klijklij D e s = (4.2)
where ijkl D = Elasticity matrix
ijs = Stress components
{ }kle = Strain components
Since both stress ijs and strain ije are second-order tensors, it follows that ijkl D is a fourth
order tensor, which consists of 3 4 = 81 material constants if symmetry is not assumed.Therefore in matrix notation, the stress-strain relations would be
Now, from jiij s s = and jiij e e = the number of 81 material constants is reduced to 36
under symmetric conditions of jilk ijlk jiklijkl D D D D ===
Therefore in matrix notation, the stress – strain relations can be

Equation (4.4) indicates that 36 elastic constants are necessary for the most general form ofanisotropy (different elastic properties in all directions). It is generally accepted, however,that the stiffness matrix ij D is symmetric, in which case the number of independent elastic
constants will be reduced to 21. This can be shown by assuming the existence of a strainenergy function U .
It is often desired in classical elasticity to have a potential function

Further, a material that exhibits symmetry with respect to three mutually orthogonal planes iscalled an "orthotropic" material. If the xy, yz and zx planes are considered planes ofsymmetry, then equation (4.11) reduces to 12 elastic constants as below.
Also, due to orthotropic symmetry, the number of material constants for a linear elasticorthotropic material reduces to 9 as shown below.

Now, in the case of a transversely isotropic material, the material exhibits a rationally elasticsymmetry about one of the coordinate axes, x , y , and z. In such case, the material constantsreduce to 8 as shown below.
(4.15)Further, for a linearly elastic material with cubic symmetry for which the properties alongthe x , y and z directions are identical, there are only 3 independent material constants.Therefore, the matrix form of the stress – strain relation can be expressed as:

For a material whose elastic properties are not a function of direction at all, only twoindependent elastic material constants are sufficient to describe it’s behavior completely.This material is called "Isotropic linear elastic". The stress- strain relationship for this

Module 4: Stress-Strain Relations
4.2.1 E LASTIC STRAIN E NERGY FOR UNIAXIAL STRESS
Figure 4.1 Element subjected to a Normal stress
In mechanics, energy is defined as the capacity to do work, and work is the product of forceand the distance, in the direction, the force moves. In solid deformable bodies,stresses multiplied by their respective areas, results in forces, and deformations are distances.
The product of these two quantities is the internal work done in a body by externallyapplied forces. This internal work is stored in a body as the internal elastic energy ofdeformation or the elastic strain energy.
Consider an infinitesimal element as shown in Figure 4.1a, subjected to a normal stress s x. The force acting on the right or the left face of this element is s x dydz . This force causes anelongation in the element by an amount e x dx , where e x is the strain in the direction x.
The average force acting on the element while deformation is taking place is2dzdy
xs .
This average force multiplied by the distance through which it acts is the work done on theelement. For a perfectly elastic body no energy is dissipated, and the work done on theelement is stored as recoverable internal strain energy. Therefore, the internal elastic strainenergy U for an infinitesimal element subjected to uniaxial stress is

s x e x dx dy dz
Therefore, dU =21
s x e x dV
where dV = volume of the element.Thus, the above expression gives the strain energy stored in an elastic body per unit volumeof the material, which is called strain-energy density 0U .
Hence,dV dU
= 0U =21
s x e x
The above expression may be graphically interpreted as an area under the inclined lineon the stress-strain diagram as shown in Figure (4.1b). The area enclosed by the inclinedline and the vertical axis is called the complementary energy. For linearly elastic materials,the two areas are equal.

Figure 4.2. Infinitesimal element subjected to: uniaxial tension (a), with resultingdeformation (b); pure shear (c), with resulting deformation (d)
When work is done by an external force on certain systems, their internal geometric statesare altered in such a way that they have the potential to give back equal amounts of workwhenever they are returned to their original configurations. Such systems are calledconservative, and the work done on them is said to be stored in the form of potential energy.For example, the work done in lifting a weight is said to be stored as a gravitational potentialenergy. The work done in deforming an elastic spring is said to be stored as elastic potentialenergy. By contrast, the work done in sliding a block against friction is not recoverable; i.e.,friction is a non-conservative mechanism.
Now we can extend the concept of elastic strain energy to arbitrary linearly elastic bodiessubjected to small deformations.
Figure 4.2(a) shows a uniaxial stress component s x acting on a rectangular element,and Figure 4.2(b) shows the corresponding deformation including the elongation dueto the strain component e x. The elastic energy stored in such an element is commonly calledstrain energy.
In this case, the force s x dydz acting on the positive x face does work as the elementundergoes the elongation dx xe . In a linearly elastic material, strain grows in proportion tostress. Thus the strain energy dU stored in the element, when the final values of stress andstrain are xs and xe is
dU =21 (s x dydz ) (e xdx)

where dV = dx dy dz = volume of the element.
If an elastic body of total volume V is made up of such elements, the total strain energy U isobtained by integration
U =21 ò

s x ve dV (4.29)
Taking s x = AP
and e x = Ld
where P = uniaxial load on the memberd = displacement due to load P
L = length of the member, A = cross section area of the member
We can write equation (4.28) as
ò÷ ø öçè æ ÷ ø öçè æ =v
dV L APU d 21
Therefore, U =21
P .d since V = L ´ A (4.30)
Next consider the shear stress component t xy acting on an infinitesimal element inFigure 4.2(c). The corresponding deformation due to the shear strain component g xy isindicated in Figure 4.2(d). In this case the force t xy dxdz acting on the positive y face doeswork as that face translates through the distance g xy dy. Because of linearity, g xy and t xy growin proportion as the element is deformed.
The strain energy stored in the element, when the final values of strain and stress are g xy andt xy is

Therefore, dU =21

The results are analogous to equation (4.28) and equation (4.31) can be written for any other pair of stress and strain components (for example, s y and e y or t yz and g yz) whenever thestress component involved is the only stress acting on the element.
Finally, we consider a general state of stress in which all six stress components are present.The corresponding deformation will in general involve all six strain components. The total

strain energy stored in the element when the final stresses are s x , s y , s z , t xy , t yz , t zx and thefinal strains are e x , e y , e z , g xy , g yz , g zx is thus
dU =21
(s xe x + s ye y + s ze z + t xy g xy + t yz g yz + t zx gzx) dV (4.32)
In general, the final stresses and strains vary from point to point in the body. The strainenergy stored in the entire body is obtained by integrating equation (4.32) over the volumeof the body.
U =21

The above formula for strain energy applies to small deformations of any linearlyelastic body.
4.2.3 B OUNDARY C ONDITIONS
The boundary conditions are specified in terms of surface forces on certain boundaries of a body to solve problems in continuum mechanics. When the stress components vary over thevolume of the body, they must be in equilibrium with the externally applied forces on the
boundary of the body. Thus the external forces may be regarded as a continuation of internalstress distribution.
Consider a two dimensional body as shown in the Figure 4.3
Figure 4.3 An element at the boundary of a body

Take a small triangular prism ABC , so that the side BC coincides with the boundary of the
plate. At a point P on the boundary, the outward normal is n. Let X and Y be the
components of the surface forces per unit area at this point of boundary. X and Y must be acontinuation of the stresses y x s s , and xyt at the boundary. Now, using Cauchy’s equation,
we haveml X T xy x x t s +== (a)
mlY T y xy y s t +==
in which l and m are the direction cosines of the normal n to the boundary.
For a particular case of a rectangular plate, the co-ordinate axes are usually taken parallel tothe sides of the plate and the boundary conditions (equation a) can be simplified. Forexample, if the boundary of the plate is parallel to x-axis, at point 1P , then the boundaryconditions become
xy X t = and yY s = (b)
Further, if the boundary of the plate is parallel to y-axis, at point 2P , then the boundaryconditions become
x X s = and xyY t = (c)
It is seen from the above that at the boundary, the stress components become equal to thecomponents of surface forces per unit area of the boundary.
4.2.4 S T . VENANT’S PRINCIPLE
For the purpose of analysing the statics or dynamics of a body, one force system may be
replaced by an equivalent force system whose force and moment resultants are identical.Such force resultants, while equivalent need not cause an identical distribution of strain,owing to difference in the arrangement of forces. St. Venant’s principle permits the use of anequivalent loading for the calculation of stress and strain.
St. Venant’s principle states that if a certain system of forces acting on a portion of thesurface of a body is replaced by a different system of forces acting on the same portion of the
body, then the effects of the two different systems at locations sufficiently far distant fromthe region of application of forces, are essentially the same, provided that the two systems offorces are statically equivalent (i.e., the same resultant force and the same resultant moment).
St. Venant principle is very convenient and useful in obtaining solutions to manyengineering problems in elasticity. The principle helps to the great extent in prescribing the
boundary conditions very precisely when it is very difficult to do so. The following figures4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 illustrate St. Venant principle.

Figures 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 demonstrate the distribution of stresses ( q) in the body when
subjected to various types of loading. In all the cases, the distribution of stress throughout the body is altered only near the regions of load application. However, the stress distribution isnot altered at a distance b x 2= irrespective of loading conditions.

This is an important theorem in the theory of elasticity and distinguishes elastic deformationsfrom plastic deformations. The theorem states that, for every problem of elasticity defined bya set of governing equations and boundary conditions, there exists one and only one solution.This means that “elastic problems have a unique solution” and two different solutions cannotsatisfy the same set of governing equations and boundary conditions.

Proof
In proving the above theorem, one must remember that only elastic problems are dealt withinfinitesimal strains and displacements. If the strains and displacements are not infinitesimal,the solution may not be unique.
Let a set of stresses zx y x t s s ¢¢¢ ,........, represents a solution for the equilibrium of a body undersurface forces X , Y , Z and body forces F x , F y , F z. Then the equations of equilibrium and
boundary conditions must be satisfied by these stresses, giving

where ( x , y , z) means that there are two more equations obtained by changing the suffixes y for x and z for y, in a cyclic order.
Similarly, if there is another set of stresses zx y x
t s s ¢¢¢¢¢¢ ,...., which also satisfies the boundary
conditions and governing equations we have,

In the same way it is shown that the new strain components ( e ' x -e '' x) ,(e ' y -e '' y)…. etc. also satisfy the equations of compatibility. A new solution ( s ' x - s '' x) , (s ' y - s '' y) ,….. (t ' xz - t '' xz) represents a situation where body forces and surface forces both arezero. The work done by these forces during loading is zero and it follows that the totalstrain energy vanishes, i.e.,
ò ò òV o dxdydz = 0
where V o = (s xe x + s ye y + s ze z + t xy g xy + t yz g yz + t zx g zx)

The strain energy per unit volume V o is always positive for any combination of strains andstresses. Hence for the integral to be zero, V o must vanish at all the points, giving all thestress components (or strain components) zero, for this case of zero body and surface forces.
Therefore ( s ' x-s '' x)= (s ' y-s '' y )= (s ' z-s '' z)= 0
and ( t ' xy-t '' xy) = (t ' yz-t '' yz) = (t ' zx-t '' zx) = 0
This shows that the set s ' x , s ' y , s ' z ,…. t ' zx is identical to the set s '' x , s '' y , s '' z , …. t '' zx andthere is one and only one solution for the elastic problem .

5.1.1 I NTRODUCTION Plane Stress Problems
In many instances the stress situation is simpler than that illustrated in Figure 2.7. Anexample of practical interest is that of a thin plate which is being pulled by forces in the
plane of the plate. Figure 5.1 shows a plate of constant thickness, t subjected to axial andshear stresses in the x and y directions only. The thickness is small compared to the othertwo dimensions of plate. These stresses are assumed to be uniformly distributed over thethickness t . The surface normal to the z-axis is stress free.

Plane Strain Problems
Problems involving long bodies whose geometry and loading do not vary significantly in thelongitudinal direction are referred to as plane-strain problems. Some examples of practicalimportance, shown in Figure 5.2, are a loaded semi-infinite half space such as a strip footingon a soil mass, a long cylinder; a tunnel; culvert; a laterally loaded retaining wall; and a longearth dam. In these problems, the dependent variables can be assumed to be functions of onlythe x and y co-ordinates, provided a cross-section is considered some distance away from theends.

while at y = - h, hb y 3-=s (i.e. compressive). xs is zero throughout. Shear stress xyt is

From (c) and the above boundary condition (b),0 = - b3 x ± c3a for any value of x
therefore c3 = 0
hence, xs = d 3 y ys = 0
t xy = 0
Obviously, Biharmonic equation is also satisfied.

5.3.4 B ENDING OF A SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM BY A DISTRIBUTED
L OADING (UDL )
Figure 5.10 Beam subjected to Uniform load
Consider a beam of rectangular cross-section having unit width, supported at the ends andsubjected to a uniformly distributed load of intensity q as shown in the Figure 5.10.
It is to be noted that the bending moment is maximum at position x = 0 and decreases withchange in x in either positive or negative directions. This is possible only if the stressfunction contains even functions of x. Also, it should be noted that ys various from zero at
y = -c to a maximum value of -q at y = +c . Hence the stress function must contain oddfunctions of y.

n any elasticity problem the proper choice of the co-ordinate system is extremelyimportant since this choice establishes the complexity of the mathematical expressions
employed to satisfy the field equations and the boundary conditions.
In order to solve two dimensional elasticity problems by employing a polar co-ordinatereference frame, the equations of equilibrium, the definition of Airy’s Stress function,and one of the stress equations of compatibility must be established in terms of PolarCo-ordinates.

6.1.6 B IHARMONIC E QUATION
As discussed earlier, the Airy’s Stress function f has to satisfy the Biharmonic equation
,04 =Ñ f provided the body forces are zero or constants. In Polar coordinates the stress
function must satisfy this same equation; however, the definition of 4Ñ operator must bemodified to suit the polar co-ordinate system. This modification may be accomplished by
transforming the 4Ñ operator from the Cartesian system to the polar system.

Module 6: Two Dimensional Problems in PolarCoordinate System
6.2.1 AXISYMMETRIC PROBLEMS
Many engineering problems involve solids of revolution subjected to axially symmetricloading. The examples are a circular cylinder loaded by uniform internal or external
pressure or other axially symmetric loading (Figure 6.4a), and a semi-infinite half spaceloaded by a circular area, for example a circular footing on a soil mass (Figure 6.4b). It isconvenient to express these problems in terms of the cylindrical co-ordinates. Because ofsymmetry, the stress components are independent of the angular ( q ) co-ordinate; hence, allderivatives with respect to q vanish and the components v, g r q , g q z , t r q and t q z are zero.The non-zero stress components are s r ,s q ,, s z and t rz.

These expressions were first derived by G. Lambe.
It is interesting to observe that the sum ( s r + s q ) is constant through the thickness of the wallof the cylinder, regardless of radial position. Hence according to Hooke’s law, the
stresses s r and s q produce a uniform extension or contraction in z-direction.The cross-sections perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder remain plane. If two adjacentcross-sections are considered, then the deformation undergone by the element does notinterfere with the deformation of the neighbouring element. Hence, the elements areconsidered to be in the plane stress state.

6.2.6 S TRESS C ONCENTRATION
While discussing the case of simple tension and compression, it has been assumed that the bar has a prismatical form. Then for centrally applied forces, the stress at some distance fromthe ends is uniformly distributed over the cross-section. Abrupt changes in cross-section giverise to great irregularities in stress distribution. These irregularities are of particular
importance in the design of machine parts subjected to variable external forces and toreversal of stresses. If there exists in the structural or machine element a discontinuity thatinterrupts the stress path, the stress at that discontinuity may be considerably greater than thenominal stress on the section; thus there is a “Stress Concentration” at the discontinuity.The ratio of the maximum stress to the nominal stress on the section is known as the

'Stress Concentration Factor'. Thus, the expression for the maximum normal stress in acentrically loaded member becomes
÷ ø öç
è æ = AP
K s (6.55)
where A is either gross or net area (area at the reduced section), K = stress concentrationfactor and P is the applied load on the member. In Figures 6.8 (a), 6.8(b) and 6.8(c), the typeof discontinuity is shown and in Figures 6.8(d), 6.8(e) and 6.8(f) the approximate distributionof normal stress on a transverse plane is shown.
Stress concentration is a matter, which is frequently overlooked by designers. The high stressconcentration found at the edge of a hole is of great practical importance. As an example,holes in ships decks may be mentioned. When the hull of a ship is bent, tension orcompression is produced in the decks and there is a high stress concentration at the holes.Under the cycles of stress produced by waves, fatigue of the metal at the overstressed
portions may result finally in fatigue cracks.

Consider a plate subjected to a uniform tensile stress P as shown in the Figure 6.9. The platethickness is small in comparison to its width and length so that we can treat this problem as a
plane stress case. Let a hole of radius ' a ' be drilled in the middle of the plate as shown in thefigure. This hole will disturb the stress field in the neighbourhood of the hole. But fromSt.Venant's principle, it can be assumed that any disturbance in the uniform stress field will
be localized to an area within a circle of radius ' b '. Beyond this circle, it is expected that thestresses to be effectively the same as in the plate without the hole.
Now consider the equilibrium of an element ABC at r = b and angle q with respect to x-axis.

Therefore, we find that at points m and n, the stress q s is three times the intensity of applied
stress. The peak stress 3 P rapidly dies down as we move from r = a to r = b since at 2p

From the above, one can conclude that the effect of drilling a hole in highly stressed elementcan lead to serious weakening.
Now, having the solution for tension or compression in one direction, the solution for tensionor compression in two perpendicular directions can be obtained by superposition. However,
by taking, for instance, tensile stresses in two perpendicular directions equal to p, we find at
the boundary of the hole a tensile stress .2 p=q s Also, by taking a tensile stress p in the x-direction and compressive stress –p in the y-direction as shown in figure, we obtain thecase of pure shear.

6.3.1 B ARS WITH L ARGE INITIAL C URVATURE
There are practical cases of bars, such as hooks, links and rings, etc. which have large initialcurvature. In such a case, the dimensions of the cross-section are not very small incomparison with either the radius of curvature or with the length of the bar. The treatmentthat follows is based on the theory due to Winkler and Bach.
6.3.2 W INKLER’S – BACH THEORY
Assumptions
1. Transverse sections which are plane before bending remain plane even after bending.
2. Longitudinal fibres of the bar, parallel to the central axis exert no pressure on each other.
3. All cross-sections possess a vertical axis of symmetry lying in the plane of the centroidalaxis passing through C (Figure 6.11)
4. The beam is subjected to end couples M . The bending moment vector is normalthroughout the plane of symmetry of the beam.

Consider a curved beam of constant cross-section, subjected to pure bending produced bycouples M applied at the ends. On the basis of plane sections remaining plane, we can statethat the total deformation of a beam fiber obeys a linear law, as the beam element rotatesthrough small angle Dd q . But the tangential strain e q does not follow a linear relationship.
The deformation of an arbitrary fiber, gh = e c Rd q + yDd q
where e c denotes the strain of the centroidal fiber
But the original length of the fiber gh = ( R + y) d q
Therefore, the tangential strain in the fiber gh = e q =q

Sign Convention
The following sign convention will be followed:
1. A bending moment M will be taken as positive when it is directed towards the concaveside of the beam (or it decreases the radius of curvature), and negative if it increases the
radius of curvature.2. 'y' is positive when measured towards the convex side of the beam, and negative whenmeasured towards the concave side (or towards the centre of curvature).
3. With the above sign convention, if s q is positive, it denotes tensile stress while negativesign means compressive stress.
The distance between the centroidal axis ( y = 0) and the neutral axis is found by setting thetangential stress to zero in Equation (5.15)

where yn denotes the distance between axes as indicated in Figure 5.2. From the above,

This expression is valid for pure bending only.However, when the beam is acted upon by a normal load P acting through the centriod ofcross-sectional area A, the tangential stress given by Equation (5.15) is added to the stress
produced by this normal load P . Therefore, for this simple case of superposition, we have

Crane hook, split rings are the curved beams that are unstrained at one end or both ends. For
such beams, the bending moment at any section can be calculated by applying the equations
of statics directly. But for the beams having restrained or fixed ends such as a close ring,
equations of equilibrium are not sufficient to obtain the solution, as these beams are statically
indeterminate. In such beams, elastic behaviour of the beam is considered and an additionalcondition by considering the deformation of the member under given load is developed as in
the case of statically indeterminate straight beam.

Now, consider a closed ring shown in figure 6.12 (a), which is subjected to a concentratedload P along a vertical diametrical plane.
Figure 6.12 Closed ring subjected to loads
The distribution of stress in upper half of the ring will be same as that in the lower half dueto the symmetry of the ring. Also, the stress distribution in any one quadrant will be same asin another. However, for the purposes of analysis, let us consider a quadrant of the circularring as shown in the Figure 6.12 (c), which may be considered to be fixed at the section BB

Determination of A M
Figure 6.13 Section PQMN
Consider the elastic behavior of the two normal sections MN and PQ, a differential distanceapart. Let the initial angle q d between the planes of these two sections change by anamount q d D when loads are applied.
Therefore, the angular strain =q q
w d d D=
i.e., .q q d d =D
Therefore, if we are interested in finding the total change in angle between the sections, that
makes an angle 1q and 2q with the section AA, the expression ò1

q q w d will give that angle.
But in the case of a ring, sections AA and BB remain at right angles to each other before andafter loading. Thus, the change in the angle between these planes is equal to zero. Hence

Solution :
Area of the Section = A = 2 ´ 10 + 2 ´ 14 = 48 cm2
The value of m can be calculated from Table 6.1 by substituting b1 = 0 for the unsymmetric I -section.
From Figure, R = 18+5.66 = 23.66 cm
c1 = c3 = 10.34 cm
c2 = 3.66 cm, c = 5.66 cm
t = 2 cm
b1 = 0 , b = 10 cm

Module: 7 Torsion of Prismatic Bars
7.1.1 I NTRODUCTION
rom the study of elementary strength of materials, two important expressions related tothe torsion of circular bars were developed. They are
t = J
r M t (7.1)
and q =GJ
dz M L
t
Lò1
(7.2)
Here t represents the shear stress, M t the applied torque, r the radius at which the stress isrequired, G the shear modulus, q the angle of twist per unit longitudinal length, L the length,and z the axial co-ordinate.
Also, J = Polar moment of inertia which is defined by A Aò d r 2
The following are the assumptions associated with the elementary approach in deriving (7.1)and (7.2).
1. The material is homogeneous and obeys Hooke’s Law.
2. All plane sections perpendicular to the longitudinal axis remain plane following theapplication of a torque, i.e., points in a given cross-sectional plane remain in that plane aftertwisting.
3. Subsequent to twisting, cross-sections are undistorted in their individual planes, i.e., theshearing strain varies linearly with the distance from the central axis.
4. Angle of twist per unit length is constant.
In most cases, the members that transmit torque, such as propeller shaft and torque tubes of power equipment, are circular or turbular in cross-section.
But in some cases, slender members with other than circular cross-sections are used. Theseare shown in the Figure 7.0.

Figure 7.0 Non-Circular Sections Subjected to Torque
While treating non-circular prismatic bars, initially plane cross-sections [Figure 7.0 (a)]experience out-of-plane deformation or "Warping" [Figure 7.0(b)] and therefore assumptions
2. and 3. are no longer appropriate. Consequently, a different analytical approach isemployed, using theory of elasticity.
7.1.2 G ENERAL SOLUTION OF THE T ORSION P ROBLEM
The correct solution of the problem of torsion of bars by couples applied at the ends wasgiven by Saint-Venant. He used the semi-inverse method. In the beginning, he made certainassumptions for the deformation of the twisted bar and showed that these assumptions couldsatisfy the equations of equilibrium given by

Also from the uniqueness of solutions of the elasticity equations, it follows that the torqueson the ends are applied as shear stress in exactly the manner required by thesolution itself.
Now, consider a prismatic bar of constant arbitrary cross-section subjected to equal and
opposite twisting moments applied at the ends, as shown in the Figure 7.1(a).
Figure 7.1 Bars subjected to torsion
Saint-Venant assumes that the deformation of the twisted shaft consists of
1. Rotations of cross-sections of the shaft as in the case of a circular shaft and
2. Warping of the cross-sections that is the same for all cross-sections.
The origin of x , y , z in the figure is located at the center of the twist of the cross-section,about which the cross-section rotates during twisting. Figure 7.1(b) shows the partial endview of the bar (and could represent any section). An arbitrary point on the cross-section,
point P ( x , y), located a distance r from center of twist A, has moved to P ¢( x-u , y+ v) as aresult of torsion. Assuming that no rotation occurs at end z = 0 and that q is small, the x and
y displacements of P are respectively:u = - (r q z) sina
But sina = r y /
Therefore, u = - (r q z) y / r = - yq z (a)Similarly, v = (r q z) cosa = (r q z) x / r = xq z (b)
where q z is the angle of rotation of the cross-section at a distance z from the origin.

The warping of cross-sections is defined by a function as

Here, the equations (a) and (b) specify the rigid body rotation of any cross-section through asmall angle zq . However, with the assumed displacements (a), (b) and (c), we calculate the

It can be observed that with the assumptions (a), (b) and (c) regarding deformation, there will be no normal stresses acting between the longitudinal fibers of the shaft or in the longitudinaldirection of those fibers. Also, there will be no distortion in the planes ofcross-sections, since e x , e y and g xy vanish. We have at each point, pure shear defined by thecomponents t xz and t yz.

Therefore the stress in a bar of arbitrary section may be determined by solving Equations(7.3) and (7.4) along with the given boundary conditions.

Now, consider the boundary conditions given by
X = s x l + t xy m + t xzn
Y = s ym+ t yzn + t xy l
Z = s zn+ t xz l + t yzm
For the lateral surface of the bar, which is free from external forces acting on the boundaryand the normal n to the surface is perpendicular to the z-axis, we have
X = Y = Z = 0 and n = 0. The first two equations are identically satisfied and the thirdgives,
t xz l + yzt m = 0 (7.5)
which means that the resultant shearing stress at the boundary is directed along the tangent tothe boundary, as shown in the Figure 7.2.

Thus each problem of torsion is reduced to the problem of finding a function satisfying

7.1.4 S TRESS FUNCTION M ETHOD
As in the case of beams, the torsion problem formulated above is commonly solved byintroducing a single stress function. This procedure has the advantage of leading to simpler
boundary conditions as compared to Equation (7.6). The method is proposed by Prandtl.In this method, the principal unknowns are the stress components rather than thedisplacement components as in the previous approach.
Based on the result of the torsion of the circular shaft, let the non-vanishing components bet zx and t yz. The remaining stress components s x , s y and s z and t xy are assumed to be zero.In order to satisfy the equations of equilibrium, we should have

The first two are already satisfied since t xz and t yz, as given by Equations (d) and (e) areindependent of z.
In order to satisfy the third condition, we assume a function f ( x , y) called Prandtl stressfunction such that

¶f , t yz =

(7.7)
With this stress function, (called Prandtl torsion stress function), the third condition is alsosatisfied. The assumed stress components, if they are to be proper elasticity solutions, haveto satisfy the compatibility conditions. We can substitute these directly into the stress

(7.9)
This shows that the stress function f must be constant along the boundary of the cross-section. In the case of singly connected sections, example, for solid bars, this constant can
be arbitrarily chosen. Since the stress components depend only on the differentials of f , fora simply connected region, no loss of generality is involved in assuming f = 0 on S .However, for a multi-connected region, example shaft having holes, certain additionalconditions of compatibility are imposed. Thus the determination of stress distribution over across-section of a twisted bar is used in finding the function f that satisfies
Equation (7.8) and is zero at the boundary.Conditions at the Ends of the Twisted bar
On the two end faces, the resultants in x and y directions should vanish, and the momentabout A should be equal to the applied torque M t . The resultant in the x-direction is

t = ò ò ¶¶

Therefore, òò =dxdy xzt 0 (7.10)
Since f is constant around the boundary. Similarly, the resultant in the y-direction is

hence, òò =dxdy yzt 0 (7.11)
Thus the resultant of the forces distributed over the ends of the bar is zero, and these forcesrepresent a couple the magnitude of which is

Hence, we observe that each of the integrals in Equation (7.13) contributing one half of thetorque due to t xz and the other half due to t yz.
Thus all the differential equations and boundary conditions are satisfied if the stress functionf obeys Equations (7.8) and (7.14) and the solution obtained in this manner is the exactsolution of the torsion problem.

Since all terms under the radical (power 1/2) are positive, the maximum shear stress occurs

7.2.2 P RANDTL’S M EMBRANE ANALOGY
It becomes evident that for bars with more complicated cross-sectional shapes, moreanalytical solutions are involved and hence become difficult. In such situations, it is

desirable to use other techniques – experimental or otherwise. The membrane analogyintroduced by Prandtl has proved very valuable in this regard.
Let a thin homogeneous membrane, like a thin rubber sheet be stretched with uniformtension fixed at it’s edge which is a given curve (the cross-section of the shaft) in the xy-plane as shown in the figure 7.5.
Figure 7.5 Stretching of a membrane
When the membrane is subjected to a uniform lateral pressure p , it undergoes a smalldisplacement z where z is a function of x and y.
Consider the equilibrium of an infinitesimal element ABCD of the membrane afterdeformation. Let F be the uniform tension per unit length of the membrane. The value of the
initial tension F is large enough to ignore its change when the membrane is blown up by thesmall pressure p . On the face AD, the force acting is F.dy . This is inclined at an angle b to
the x-axis. Also, tan b is the slope of the face AB and is equal to x z¶¶
. Hence the component
of Fdy in z-direction is ÷ ø öç

Now, if the membrane tension F or the air pressure p is adjusted in such a way that p / F becomes numerically equal to 2Gq , then Equation (7.22) of the membrane becomes identicalto Equation (7.8) of the torsion stress function f . Further if the membrane height z remainszero at the boundary contour of the section, then the height z of the membrane becomesnumerically equal to the torsion stress function f = 0. The slopes of the membrane are thenequal to the shear stresses and these are in a direction perpendicular to that of the slope.
Further, the twisting moment is numerically equivalent to twice the volume under themembrane [Equation (7.14)].

The membrane analogy provides a useful experimental technique. It also serves as the basisfor obtaining approximate analytical solutions for bars of narrow cross-section as well as formember of open thin walled section.
7.2.3 T ORSION OF T HIN -W ALLED SECTIONS
Consider a thin-walled tube subjected to torsion. The thickness of the tube may not beuniform as shown in the Figure 7.6.
Figure 7.6 Torsion of thin walled sections
Since the thickness is small and the boundaries are free, the shear stresses will be essentially parallel to the boundary. Let t be the magnitude of shear stress and t is the thickness.
Now, consider the equilibrium of an element of length Dl as shown in Figure 7.6. The areasof cut faces AB and CD are t 1 Dl and t 2 Dl respectively. The shear stresses (complementaryshears) are t 1 and t 2.For equilibrium in z-direction, we have-t 1 t 1 D l + t 2 t 2 D l = 0
Therefore, t 1 t 1 = t 2 t 2 = q = constant
Hence the quantity t t is constant. This is called the shear flow q, since the equation issimilar to the flow of an incompressible liquid in a tube of varying area.

Determination of Torque Due to Shear and Rotation
Figure 7.7 Cross section of a thin-walled tube and torque due to shear
Consider the torque of the shear about point O (Figure 7.7).The force acting on the elementary length dS of the tube = DF = t t dS = q dSThe moment arm about O is h and hence the torque = D M t = (qdS ) h Therefore, D M t = 2qdA
where dA is the area of the triangle enclosed at O by the base dS .
Hence the total torque is
M t = S 2qdA+ Therefore, M t = 2qA (7.23)
where A is the area enclosed by the centre line of the tube. Equation (7.23) is generallyknown as the "Bredt-Batho" formula.
To Determine the Twist of the Tube
In order to determine the twist of the tube, Castigliano's theorem is used. Referring to Figure7.7(b), the shear force on the element is t t dS = qdS . Due to shear strain g , the force doeswork equal to DU

Figure 7.8 Torsion of thin-walled multiple cell closed section
Consider the two-cell section shown in the Figure 7.8. Let A1 and A2 be the areas of the cells1 and 2 respectively. Consider the equilibrium of an element at the junction as shown in theFigure 7.8(b). In the direction of the axis of the tube, we can write
-t 1 t 1 lD + t 2 t 2 lD + t 3 t 3 lD = 0 or t 1 t 1 = t 2 t 2 + t 3 t 3
i.e., q1 = q2 + q3
This is again equivalent to a fluid flow dividing itself into two streams. Now, choosemoment axis, such as point O as shown in the Figure 7.9.

Figure. 7.9 Section of a thin walled multiple cell beam and moment axis
The shear flow in the web is considered to be made of q1 and – q2, since q3 = q1 - q2. Moment about O due to q1 flowing in cell 1 (including web) is
1t M = 2q1 A1
Similarly, the moment about O due to q2 flowing in cell 2 (including web) is
M t 2 = 2q2 ( A2+ A1) - 2q2 A1
The second term with the negative sign on the right hand side is the moment due to shearflow q2 in the middle web.
Therefore, The total torque is
M t = M t 1 + M t 2
M t = 2q1 A1 + 2q2 A2 (a)

Solution: The above figure shows the membrane surface ABCD
Now, the Applied torque =M t = 2qA
56,500 = 2 q(0.5x0.25)

or 2.36 q1 – 1.74 q2 = 0
or q2 = 1.36 q1
The torque due to shear flows should be equal to the applied torque

Module 8: Elastic Solutions and Applicationsin Geomechanics
8.1.1 I NTRODUCTION
ost of the elasticity problems in geomechanics were solved in the later part ofnineteenth century and they were usually solved not for application to geotechnical
pursuits, but simply to answer basic questions about elasticity and behavior of elastic bodies.With one exception, they all involve a point load. This is a finite force applied at a point: asurface of zero area. Because of stress singularities, understanding point-load problems willinvolve limiting procedures, which are a bit dubious in regard to soils. Of all the point-load
problems, the most useful in geomechanics is the problem of a point load acting normal tothe surface of an elastic half-space.
The classical problem of Boussinesq dealing with a normal force applied at the plane boundary of a semi-infinite solid has found practical application in the study ofthe distribution of foundation pressures, contact stresses, and in other problemsof soil mechanics. Solutions of the problems of Kelvin, Flamant, Boussinesq, Cerrutti andMindlin related to point load are discussed in the following sections.

It is clear from the above expressions that both displacements and stresses die out for larger
values of R. But on the plane z = 0, all the stress components except for t rz vanish, at all points except the origin.

Solving, we get resultant upward force on the lower plane = P which is exactly one-half theapplied load. Further, if we consider a similar surface z = - h , shown in Figure 8.2, we willfind tensile stresses of the same magnitude as the compressive stresses on the lower plane.
Hence, Resultant force on the upper plane = - P (tensile force). Combining the two resultantforces, we get 2 P which exactly equilibrate the applied load.

which is the equation of a circle with radius C centered on the z-axis at a depth C beneath theorigin, as shown in Figure 8.7.
Figure 8.7 Pressure bulb on which the principal stresses are constant
At every point on the circle, the major principal stress is the same. It points directly at the
origin. If a larger circle is considered, the value of s 1 would be smaller. This result gives usthe idea of a "pressure bulb" in the soil beneath a foundation.

8.1.6 C OMPARISON BETWEEN K ELVIN’S AND BOUSSINESQ’SSOLUTIONS
On the plane z = 0, all the stresses given by Kelvin vanish except t rz. For the special casewhere Poisson’s ratio n = 1/2 (an incompressible material), then t rz will also be zero on this
surface, and that part of the body below the z = 0 plane becomes equivalent to the half space

of Boussinesq’s problem. Comparing Kelvin’s solution (with n = 1 / 2) with Boussinesq’s
solution (with n = 1/2), it is clear that for all z ³ 0, the solutions are identical. For z £ 0, we
also have Boussinesq’s solution, but with a negative load – P . The two half-spaces,
which together comprise the infinite body of Kelvin’s problem, act as if they are
uncoupled on the plane z = 0, where they meet.
Further, a spherical surface is centered on the origin, we find a principal surface on whichthe major principal stress is acting. The magnitude of the principal stress is given by
s 1 = 323
RPz
p (8.17)
where R is the sphere radius. It can be observed that the value of s 1 changes for negative
values of z, giving tensile stresses above the median plane z = 0.

The point load represented by P acts at the origin of co-ordinates, pointing in the x-direction.This is a more complicated problem than either Boussinesq’s or Kelvin problem due to theabsence of radial symmetry. Due to this a rectangular co-ordinate system is used inthe solution.

It is observed from the above stress components that the stresses approach to zero for large
value of R. Inspecting at the x-component of the displacement field, it is observed thatthe particles are displaced in the direction of the point load. The y-component ofdisplacement moves particles away from the x-axis for positive values of x and towardsthe x-axis for negative x. The plot of horizontal displacement vectors at the surface z = 0 is

8.1.8 M INDLIN’S PROBLEM
Figure 8.12 Mindlin’s Problem
The two variations of the point-load problem were solved by Mindlin in 1936. These are the problems of a point load (either vertical or horizontal) acting in the interior of an elastichalf space. Mindlin’s problem is illustrated in Figure 8.12. The load P acts at a point
located a distance z beneath the half-space surface. Such problems are more complex thanBoussinesq’s or Kelvin or Cerrutti’s. They have found applications in the computations ofthe stress and displacement fields surrounding an axially loaded pile and also in the study ofinteraction between foundations and ground anchors.
It is appropriate to write Mindlin’s solution by placing the origin of co-ordinates a distanceC above the free surface as shown in the Figure 8.12. Then the applied load acts at the
point z = 2h.
From Figure 8.12,
R2 = r 2 + z 2
R21 = r
2
+ z21
where z1 = z – 2h
Here z1 and R1 are the vertical distance and the radial distance from the point load.

For the vertical point load, Mindlin’s solution is most conveniently stated in terms ofBoussinesq’s solution. For example, consider the displacement and stress fields inBoussinesq’s problem in the region of the half-space below the surface z = C . Thesedisplacements and stresses are also found in Mindlin’s solution, but with additional terms.The following equations will give these additional terms.
To obtain the complete solution, add them to Equations (8.7a) and (8.7b)

Mindlin’s solution for a horizontal point load also employs the definitions for z1 and R1. Now introduce rectangular coordinate system because of the absence ofcylindrical symmetry.
Replace r 2 by x2+y 2, and assume (without any loss of generality) that the load acts in the x-direction at the point z = c. Here the solution is conveniently stated in terms of Cerrutti’ssolution, just as the vertical point load was given in terms of Boussinesq’s solution.Therefore, the displacements and stresses to be superposed on Cerrutti’s solution are

8.1.9 A PPLICATIONS
The mechanical response of naturally occurring soils are influenced by a variety of factors.These include (i) the shape, size and mechanical properties of the individual soil particles,(ii) the configuration of the soil structure, (iii) the intergranular stresses and stress history,and (iv) the presence of soil moisture, the degree of saturation and the soil permeability.These factors generally contribute to stress-strain phenomena, which display markedlynon-linear, irreversible and time dependent characteristics, and to soil masses, which exhibitanisotropic and non-homogeneous material properties. Thus, any attempt to solve asoil-foundation interaction problem, taking into account all such material characteristics,is clearly a difficult task. In order to obtain meaningful and reliable information for practical
problems of soil-foundation interaction, it becomes necessary to idealise the behaviour ofsoil by taking into account specific aspects of its behavior. The simplest type of idealised soilresponse assumes linear elastic behaviour of the supporting soil medium.

Applied Elasticity for Engineers T.G.Sitharam & L.GovindaRaju
In general, one can divide the foundation problems into two classes, (1) interactive problemsand (2) noninteractive problems. In the case of interactive problems, the elasticity of thefoundation plays an important role. For example, a flexible raft foundation supporting amultistorey structure, like that illustrated in Figure 8.13 interacts with the soil. In terms ofelasticity and structural mechanics, the deformation of the raft and the deformation of the
soil must both obey requirements of equilibrium and must also be geometrically compatible.If a point on the raft is displaced relative to another point, then it can be realised that the
bending stresses will develop within the raft and there will be different reactive pressures inthe soil beneath those points. The response of the raft and the response of the soil arecoupled and must be considered together.
Figure 8.13 Flexible raft foundation supporting a multistorey structure
But non-interactive problems are those where one can reasonably assume the elasticity of thefoundation itself is unimportant to the overall response of the soil. Examples of non-interactive problems are illustrated in Figure 8.14.
The non-interactive problems are the situations where the structural foundation is either very
flexible or very rigid when compared with the soil elasticity. In non-interactive problems, itis not necessary to consider the stress-strain response of the foundation. The soildeformations are controlled by the contact exerted by the foundation, but the response of thesoil and the structure are effectively uncoupled.
