In many structures the members are required to resist more than one kind of loading (combined loading). These can often be analyzed by superimposing the stresses and strains cause by each load acting separately.

Superposition of stresses and strains is permissible only under the following conditions:

a.The stresses and the strains must be a linear function of the applied loads (Hooke’s law must be obeyed and the displacements must be small).

b.There must be no interaction between the various loads.

COMBINED LOADS

Examples:  wide‐flange beam supported by a cable (combined bending and axial load),  cylindrical pressure vessel supported as a beam, and shaft in combined torsion and bending.

1.Select the point on the structure where the stresses and the strains are to be determined. 

2.For each load on the structure, determine the stress resultant at the cross section containing the selected point..

3.Calculate the normal and shear stresses at the selected point due to each of the stress resultant. 

4.Combine the individual stresses to obtain the resultant stresses at the selected point.

5.Determine the principal stresses and maximum shear stresses at the selected point.

6.Determine the strains at the point with the aid of Hooke’s law for plane stress.

7.Select additional points and repeat the process.

Method of Analysis:

The bar shown is subjected to two types of loads: a torque T and a vertical load P.

Let us select arbitrarily two points. Point A (top of the bar) and point B (side of the bar ‐ in the same cross section).

The resulting stresses acting across the section are the following:

‐ A twisting moment equal to the torque T.

‐ A bending moment M equal to the load P times the distance b.

‐ A shear force V equals to the load P. 

Illustration of the Method:

The twisting moment Τ produces a torsional shear stresses

The stress τ1 acts horizontally to the left at point A and vertically downwards at point B.

The bending moment M produces a tensile stress at point A

However, the bending moment produces no stress at point B, because B is located on the neutral axis.

Note that the element is in plane stress with

σx = σA, σy = 0 , and τxy = - τ1.A stress element in point B is also in plane stress and the only stresses acting on this element are the shear stresses τ1 and τ2. Therefore 

σx = σy = 0 and τxy = - (τ1 + τ2).

At point A: σx = σA, σy = 0 , and τxy = - τ1

At point B σx = σy = 0 and τxy = - (τ1 + τ2).

Of interest are the points where the stresses calculated from the flexure and shear formulas have maximum or minimum values, called critical points.

If the objective of the analysis is to determine the largest stresses anywhere in the structure, then the critical points should be selected at cross sections where the stress resultants have their largest values.

Furthermore, within those cross sections, the points should be selected where either the normal stresses or the shear stresses have their largest values.

Selection of Critical Areas and Points

For instance, the normal stresses due to bending are largest at the cross section of maximum bending moment, which is at the support. Therefore, points C and D at the top and bottom of the beam at the fixed ends are critical points where the stresses should be calculated.

Stress at which point?

The rotor shaft of an helicopter drives the rotor blades that provide the lifting force to support the helicopter in the air. As a consequence, the shaft is subjected to a combination of torsion and axial loading.

For a 50mm diameter shaft transmitting a torque Τ = 2.4kN.m and a tensile force P = 125kN, determine the maximum tensile stress, maximum compressive stress, and maximum shear stress in the shaft.

Solution

The stresses in the rotor shaft are produced by the combined action of the axial force P and the torque Τ. Therefore the stresses at any point on the surface of the shaft consist of a tensile stress σo and a shear stress τo.

A thin wall cylindrical pressure vessel with a circular cross section is subjected to internal gas pressure p and simultaneously compressed by an axial load P = 12k. The cylinder has inner radius r = 2.1in. And wall thickness t = 0.15in. Determine the maximum allowable internal pressure pallow based upon an allowable shear stress of 6500psi in the wall of the vessel.

Solution

The stresses on the wall of the pressure vessel are caused by a combined action of the internal pressure and the axial force. We can isolate a stress element in point A. The x-axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pressure vessel and the y-axis is circumferential. Note that there are no shear stresses acting on the element.

The longitudinal stress σx is equal to the tensile stress produced by the internal pressure minus the compressive stress produced by the axial force.

A sign of dimensions 2.0mx1.2m is supported by a hollow circular pole having outer diameter 220mm and inner diameter 180mm (see figure). The sign offset 0.5m from the centerline of the pole and its lower edge is 6.0m above the ground.

Determine the principal stresses and maximum shear stresses at points A and B at the base of the pole due to wind pressure of 2.0kPa against the sign.

Because the principal stresses have opposite signs, the maximum in-plane shear stresses are larger than the maximum out-of-plane shear stresses. Then, τmax = 28.2MPa.

τmax = 7.0MPaThe maximum out-of-plane shear stresses are half of this value.Note

If the largest stresses anywhere in the pole are needed, then we must also determine the stresses at the critical point diametrically opposite point A, because at that point the compressive stress due to bending has its largest value.The principal stresses at that point are σ1 = 0.7MPa and σ2 = - 55.7MPa The maximum shear stress is 28.2MPa.(In this analysis only the effects of wind pressure are considered. Other loads, such as weight of the structure, also produce stresses at the base of the pole).

A tubular post of square cross section supports a horizontal platform (see figure). The tube has outer dimension b = 6in. And wall thickness t = 0.5in.The platform has dimensions 6.75in x 24.0in and supports an uniformly distributed load of 20psi acting over its upper surface. The resultant of this distributed load is a vertical force P1 = (20psi)(6.75in x 24.0in) = 3240lb

This force acts at the midpoint of the platform, which is at distance d = 9in. from the longitudinal axis of the post. A second load P2 = 800lb acts horizontally on the post at height h = 52in above the base.Determine the principal stresses and maximum shear stresses at points A and B at the base of the post due to the loads P1 and P2.

Stress ResultantsThe force P1 acting on the platform is statically equivalent to a force P1 and a moment M1 = P1d acting on the centroid of the cross section of the post. The load P2 is also shown.

Solution

The stress resultant at the base of the post due to the loads P1 and P2 and the moment M1 are as follows:(A) An axial compressive force P1 = 3240lb(B) A bending moment M1 produced by the force P1:

M1 = P1d = (3240lb)(9in) = 29160lb-in(C) A shear force P2 = 800lb(D) A bending moment M2 produced by the force P2:

M2 = P2h = (800lb)(52in) = 41600lb.in

Examinations of these stress resultants shows that both M1 and M2 produce maximum compressive stresses at point A and the shear force produces maximum shear stresses at point B. Therefore, A and B are the critical points where the stresses should be determined.

Stresses at points A and B(A) The axial force P1 produces uniform compressive stresses throughout the post. These stresses are σP1 = P1 / A where A is the cross section area of the postA = b2 – (b – 2t)2 = 4t(b-t) = 4 (0.5in)(6in – 0.5in) = 11.0in2 σP1 = P1 / A = 3240lb / 11.00in2 = 295psi

(B) The bending moment M1 produces compressive stresses σM1 at points Aand B. These stresses are obtained from the flexure formula σM1 = M1 (b / 2) / Ιwhere Ι is the moment of inertia of the cross section. The moment of inertia isΙ = [b4 - (b -2t)4] / 12 = [(6in)4 – (5in)4] / 12 = 55.92in4Thus, σM1 = M1 b / 2Ι = (29160lb.in)(6in) / (2)(55.92in4) = 1564psi

(C) The shear force P2 produces a shear stress at point B but not at point A. We know that an approximate value of the shear stress can be obtained by dividing the shear force by the web area.τP2 = P2 / Aweb =P2 /(2t(b – 2t)) =800lb / (2)(0.5in)(6in–1in)= 160psiThe stress τp2 acts at point B in the direction shown in the above figure.We can calculate the shear stress τP2 from the more accurate formula. The result of this calculation is τP2 = 163psi, which shows that the shear stress obtained from the approximate formula is satisfactory.

D) The bending moment M2 produces a compressive stress at point A but no stress at point B. The stress at A is σM2 = M2 b / 2Ι = (41600lb.in)(6in) / (2)(55.92in4) = 2232psi.This stress is also shown in the above figure.

Stress ElementsEach element is oriented so that the y-axis is vertical (i.e. parallel to the longitudinal axis of the post) and the x-axis is horizontal axisPoint A : The only stress in point A is a compressive stress σa in the y directionσA = σP1 + σM1 + σM2σA = 295psi + 1564psi + 2232psi = 4090psi (compression)Thus, this element is in uniaxial stress.

Principal Stresses and Maximum Shear Stressσx = 0 σy = - σa = - 4090psiτxy = 0

Since the element is in uniaxial stress, σ1 = σx and σ2 = σy = - 4090psi

And the maximum in-plane shear stress isτmax = (σ1 - σ2) / 2 = ½ (4090psi) = 2050psiThe maximum out-of-plane shear stress has the same magnitude.

Point B:Here the compressive stress in the y direction isσB = σP1 + σM1σB = 295psi + 1564psi = 1860psi (compression)And the shear stress is τB = τP2 = 160psiThe shear stress acts leftward on the top face and downward on the x face of the element.Principal Stresses and Maximum Shear Stressσx =0 σy = - σB = - 1860psi τxy = - τP2 = - 160psiSubstituting σ1,2 = - 930psi +/- 944psiσ1 = 14psi and σ2 = - 1870psi

The shaft shown in the figure below is supported by two bearings and carries two V-belt sheaves. The tensions in the belts exert horizontal forces on the shaft, tending to bend it in the x-z plane. Sheaves B exerts a clockwise torque on the shaft when viewed towards the origin of the coordinate system along the x-axis. Sheaves C exerts an equal but opposite torque on the shaft. For the loading conditions shown, determine the principal stresses and the safety factor on the element K, located on the surface of the shaft (on the positive z-side), just to the right of sheave B. Consider that the shaft is made of a steel of a yield strength of 81ksi

Shearing force = 165lbBending Moment = -1540lb-in
