The strength of the material is not only the criterion that must be considered in designing a structure. The stiffness of a material is frequently of equal importance. Hooke’s Law states that up to the proportional limit, the stress is proportional to strain. The constant of proportionality based from experiment is the modulus of elasticity.

•During a stress-strain test, the unit deformation at a stress of 35MPa was observed to be 167x10-6 m/m and at a stress of 140MPa it was 667x10-6. If the proportional limit was 200MPa, what is the modulus of elasticity? Would these results be valid if the proportional limit were 150MPa? Explain.

Static indeterminacy does not imply that the problem cannot be solved; it simply means that the solution cannot be obtained from the equilibrium equations alone. A statically indeterminate problem always has geometric restrictions imposed on its deformation.

STATICALLY INDETERMINATE MEMBERS

The mathematical expressions of these restrictions, known as the compatibility equations, provide us with the additional equations needed to solve the problem (the term compatibility refers to the geometric compatibility between deformation and the imposed constraints).

Because the source of the compatibility equations is deformation, these equations contain as unknowns either strains or elongations. We can, however, use Hooke’s law to express the deformation measures in terms of stresses or forces. The equations of equilibrium and compatibility can then be solved for the unknown forces.

PROPERTIES OF THE SHEAR DIAGRAM1. At every change of loading we have to investigate our shear.2. For concentrated loads or reactions the left and right portion of the point where they are acting must be investigated3.

PROPERTIES OF THE MOMENT DIAGRAM1. For every change in shear diagram, the moment must be investigate2. Consider only the moment at any point and not the left and the right portion of the point except when we have a moment load or reaction3. Analyze the point where the shear intersects the reference line (V=0) since when shear is zero moment is maximum or minimum4. Vertical line will only be observed in the moment diagram whenever we have a moment load or reaction5. The concavity of the moment diagram depends upon the load: if the load is downward, moment diagram is downward6. The moment diagram is one degree higher than the shear diagram

UNSYMMETRICAL SECTION DESIGN FOR BENDING STRESS

The previous discussions are all about beams symmetric with respect to the neutral axis. Because flexural stress vary directly with distance from the neutral axis of symmetric beams, which is the centroidal axis, such beam sections are desirable for materials that are equally strong in tension and compression.

However, for materials relatively weak in tension and strong in compression such as cast iron, it is desirable to use beams that are unsymmetrical with respect to the neutral axis. With such a cross section, the stronger fibers can be located at a greater distance from the neutral axis than the weaker fibers. The ideal treatment for such materials is to locate the centroidal or neutral axis in such a position that the ratio of the distances from it to the fivers in tension and in compression is exactly the same as the ratio of the allowable stresses in tension and in compression. The allowable stresses thus reach their permitted values simultaneously.
