3. Stress and strain
DIRECT STRESS
When a force is applied to an elastic body, the body deforms. The
way in which the body deforms depends upon the type of force
applied to it.
Compression force makes the body shorter.
A tensile force makes the body longer

Tensile and compressive forces are called DIRECT FORCES
Stress is the force per unit area upon which it acts.
….. Unit is Pascal (Pa) or
Note: Most of engineering fields used kPa, MPa, GPa.

Strain
DIRECT STRAIN ,
In each case, a force F produces a deformation x. In engineering, we
usually change this force into stress and the deformation into strain
and we define these as follows:
Strain is the deformation per unit of the original length.
The
symbol
Strain has no unit’s since it is a ratio of length to length. Most
engineering materials do not stretch very mush before they become
damages, so strain values are very small figures. It is quite normal to
change small numbers in to the exponent for 10-6
( micro strain).
called EPSILON
10. MODULUS OF ELASTICITY (E)
•Elastic materials always spring back into shape when released.
They also obey HOOKE’s LAW.
•This is the law of spring which states that deformation is directly
proportional to the force. F/x = stiffness = kN/m
•The stiffness is different for the different material and different sizes of
the material. We may eliminate the size by using stress and strain instead
of force and deformation:

•The stiffness is now in terms of stress and strain only and this
constant is called the MODULUS of ELASTICITY (E)
• A graph of stress against strain will be straight line with
gradient of E. The units of E are the same as the unit of
stress.
ULTIMATE TENSILE STRESS
•If a material is stretched until it breaks, the tensile stress has
reached the absolute limit and this stress level is called the
ultimate tensile stress.
