• If the bar CD is slightly longer than intended, the beam will make
a small angle with the horizontal.
• Nevertheless, there will be no strains or stresses in either the
bar.

2.5 THERMAL EFFECTS, MISFITS, AND PRESTRAINS
Misfits and Prestrains
• The situation is quite different if the structure is statically indeterminate, because
then the structure is not free to adjust to misfits.
• Suppose bar CD is slightly longer than the prescribed length.
• Then, in order to assemble the structure, bar CD must be compressed by external
forces (or bar EF stretched by external forces).
• The bars must be fitted into place, and then the external forces must be released.
• As a result, the beam will deform and rotate, bar CD will be in compression, and bar EF
will be in tension.
FIG. 2-36 Normal and shear stresses acting on stress elements oriented at θ = 0° and θ = 45° for a
bar in tension
• Thus, in this special case of an element oriented at θ = 45°, the normal stresses
on all four faces are the same (equal to σx /2) and all four shear stresses have the
maximum magnitude (equal to σx /2).
Example 2.11
• From the first equation we see that increasing the length of a bar increases the
amount of strain energy even though the load is unchanged (because more material is
being strained by the load).
• On the other hand, increasing either the modulus of elasticity or the cross-sectional
area decreases the strain energy because the strains in the bar are reduced.
• Geometric interpretation: They are equal to the area σε/2 (from equation 2-44) of the
triangle below the stress-strain diagram for a material that follows Hooke’s law (σ = εE).
• In more general situations where the material does not follow Hooke’s law, the strain-
energy density is still equal to the area below the stress strain curve, but the area must
be evaluated for each particular material.
• Strain-energy density has units of energy divided by volume, (J/m3) or (ft-lb/ft3)
• Since all of these units reduce to units of stress, we can also use units such as pascals
(Pa) and pounds per square inch (psi) for strain-energy density.
• Note that the modulus of resilience is equal to the area below the stress-strain curve
up to the proportional limit.
• Resilience represents the ability of a material to absorb and release energy within the
elastic range.

The strain energy decreases as the part of the bar with the larger area increases.
If the same amount of work is applied to all three bars, the highest stress will be
in the third bar, because the third bar has the least energy-absorbing capacity.
We therefore conclude that it takes only a small amount of work to bring the
tensile stress to a high value in a bar with a groove, and the narrower the groove,
the more severe the condition. When the loads are dynamic and the ability to
absorb energy is important, the presence of grooves is very damaging.
In the case of static loads, the maximum stresses are more important than
the ability to absorb energy. In this example, all three bars have the same
maximum stress P/A (provided stress concentrations are alleviated), and
therefore all three bars have the same load-carrying capacity when the load is
applied statically.
Thus, this example illustrates that the strain energy of a bar subjected to two
loads is not equal to the sum of the strain energies produced by the individual
loads acting separately.
FIG. 2-53 Impact load on a prismatic bar AB due to a falling object of mass M
Note that the maximum elongation of the bar increases if either the weight of the collar or
the height of fall is increased.
• From this equation we see that the elongation of the bar under the impact load
is much larger than it would be if the same load were applied statically.
• Suppose, for instance, that the height h is 40 times the static displacement δst;
the maximum elongation would then be 10 times the static elongation.
• When the height h is large compared to the static elongation, we can disregard the
“ones” on the right-hand side of Eq. (2-53) and obtain
• in which M = W/g and v = √2gh is the velocity of the falling mass when it strikes the
flange.
• This equation can also be obtained directly from Eq. (2-49) by omitting δmax on the
left-hand side of the equation and then solving for δmax.
• Substituting from Eq. (2-50), we obtain the following equation for the maximum
tensile stress:
• Again considering the case where the height h is large compared to the elongation of
the bar, we obtain
• From this result we see that an increase in the kinetic energy Mv2/2 of the falling mass
will increase the stress, whereas an increase in the volume AL of the bar will reduce
the stress.
• This situation is quite different from static tension of the bar, where the stress is
independent of the length L and the modulus of elasticity E.
• When the collar falls through a considerable height, the impact factor can be very
large, such as 100 or more.
• From this equation we see that a suddenly applied load produces an elongation twice
as large as the elongation caused by the same load applied statically.
• Thus, the impact factor is 2.
• The impact factor for displacements and stresses is the same because stresses are
directly proportional to the displacements.
• A familiar example of a fatigue failure is stressing a metal paper clip to the breaking
point by repeatedly bending it back and forth.
• Fatigue may be defined as the deterioration of a material under repeated cycles of
stress and strain, resulting in progressive cracking that eventually produces fracture.
• The curve for steel becomes horizontal at about 107 cycles, and the fatigue limit is
about 50% of the ultimate tensile stress for ordinary static loading.
• The fatigue limit for aluminum is not as clearly defined as that for steel, but a typical
value of the fatigue limit is the stress at 5x108 cycles, or about 25% of the ultimate
stress.
• For steel, ordinary corrosion may reduce the fatigue limit by more than 50%.
• Because the effects of stress concentrations are localized, we can use all of the
standard stress formulas at cross sections a sufficient distance away from the source of
the concentration.
• Formulas that are applicable to entire members, such as formulas for elongations,
displacements, and strain energy, give satisfactory results even when stress
concentrations are present.
• The explanation lies in the fact that stress concentrations are localized and have little
effect on the overall behavior of a member.
• For a bar in tension, the nominal stress is the average stress based upon the net cross-
sectional area.
• In other cases, a variety of stresses may be used. Thus, whenever a stress concentration
factor is used, it is important to note carefully how the nominal stress is defined.
• If the hole is tiny, the factor K equals 3, which means that the maximum stress is three
times the nominal stress.
• As the hole becomes larger in proportion to the width of the bar, K becomes smaller
and the effect of the concentration is not as severe.
FIG. 2-65 Stress-concentration factor K for round bars with shoulder fillets. The dashed line is for a
full quarter-circular fillet.
In a nonlinear structure, the displacement produced by two (or more) loads acting
simultaneously is not equal to the sum of the displacements produced by the loads acting
separately.
• Since outer bars are longer than inner bar, the inner bar is more highly stressed than
the outer bars (see Eqs. 2-75a and b) and will reach the yield stress first.
• When that happens, the force in the inner bar is F2 = σY A.
• The magnitude of the load P when the yield stress is first reached in any one of the
bars is called the yield load PY.
• We can determine PY by setting F2 equal to σY A in Eq. (2-74b) and solving for the load:
• In general, the ratio of the displacements is always larger than the ratio of the
corresponding loads, and the partially plastic region AB on the load-displacement
diagram (Fig. 2-74) always has a smaller slope than does the elastic region OA. Of
course, the fully plastic region BC has the smallest slope (zero).
Bar 2, which has the larger force, will be the first to reach the yield stress. At that
instant the force in bar 2 will be F2 = σYA.
