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?)

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,

Hooke’s law states that for a perfect material the stress is proportional to the
strain up to the elastic limits.

> Shear stress is defined to be the ratio of the tangential force to the cross sectional
area of the surface upon which it acts, |
Strain is the measure of a material’s deformation during loading. Normal strain isa
measure of the elongation or contraction of a material in a particular direction |
during loading (Fig. 1a). Normal strain measurements are required for determining | |
the modulus of elasticity £ and Poisson’s ratio v of a material. | |
Additionally, shear strain y is an angular deformation measurement defined as the | |
change in a 90-degree angle at a point in the material during loading (Fig. 1b). | f
Shear strain measurements are used in determining the shear modulus G. |

Ixy = 20 + vty]> The generalized Hooke’s law also reveals that strain can exist without stress.
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. In this situation, the X-plane
does not have any external force acting on them but it experiences a change
in length.

> Ahomogeneous body has properties that are the same at all points in the
body. 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.
