WHAT IS STRESS

Stress is the ratio of applied force F to a cross section area - defined as "force per unit area".

tensile stress - stress that tends to stretch or lengthen the material

compressive stress - stress that tends to compress or shorten the material -

2) EXPLAIN PROCESS OF TENSILE TEST

The basic idea of a tensile test is to place a sample of a material between two fixtures called "grips"
which clamp the material. The material has known dimensions, like length and cross-sectional area. We
then begin to apply weight to the material gripped at one end while the other end is fixed.

PURPOSE

Tensile tests help determine the effectiveness and behavior of a material when a stretching force acts
on it. These tests are done under optimum temperature and pressure conditions and determine the
maximum strength or load that the material can withstand.

3) WHAT IS SFD AND BMD

The shear force diagram (SFD)

The diagram which shows the variation of shear force along the length of the beam is called Shear Force
Diagram (SFD)

Bending Moment Diagram (BMD):

The diagram which shows the variation of bending moment along the length of the beam is called
Bending Moment Diagram (BMD).

4) WHAT IS ZERO SHAER FORCE POINT

In a bending moment diagram, it is the point at which the bending moment is zero .The point is also
called contraflexure

The point at which we get zero shear force, we get the maximum bending moment of that section/beam
at that point.

5) WHAT IS UDL

Uniformly distributed load: A uniformly distributed load is one which is spread over a beam in such a
manner that rate of loading is uniform along the length. Usually it refers self weight of the beam.

6) WHAT IS VARYING LOAD

Uniformly Varying Load (UVL) A UVL is one which is spread over the beam in such a manner that rate of
loading varies from each point along the beam, in which load is zero at one end and increase uniformly
to the other end. This type of load is known as triangular load
