2.0 MECHANICAL TERMINOLOGY AND BEHAV! STRESS STRAIN RELATION > When one studies the mechanical behavior of elastic bodies under load (elasticity theory), one has to consider the following: > An elastic body subjected to stresses deforms in a reversible manner. > Ateach point within the body, one can identify the principal planes on which there are only normal stresses > The normal directions on these planes are called the principal stress directions > Simplest form of stress occurs when a direct axial load is applied to a bar of material of a constant cross-sectional area. Stress (0) = SS (N/m?) aml For tensile * For compression F F o= o= Applied stress will always produce a deformation in form of change of length of the bar The change in length is always described as a fraction of the original length, known as strain, Suan = Mase nae Hooke’s law states that for a perfect material the stress is proportional to the strain up to the elastic limits.

For example, if the member is experiencing a load in the Y-direction(which in turn causes a stress in the Y-direction), the Hooke’s law shows that the strain in the X-direction does not equal to zero. > This is because as the material is being pulled outward in the Y-plane, the material in the X-plane moves inward to fill the space once occupied, just like the elastic band becomes thinner as you stretch.

A steel rod is an example of a homogeneous body. However, if one heats this rod at one end, the temperature at various points on the rod would be different. Because Young's modulus of steel varies with temperature, one no longer has a homogeneous body. The body is still isotropic because the Properties at a particular point are still identical in all directions. > Most composites materials are neither isotropic or homogeneous. For example consider epoxy reinforced with long glass fibres. The properties on the glass fibre location are different from the properties on the epoxy matrix location. This makes the composite material nonhomogeneous. Also the stiffness in the direction of the fibre is higher than in the direction perpendicular to the fibres. This makes the material properties dependent on the direction hence anisotropic.
