 Types of Loads

1. Normal/ Axial Force (P)

• Perpendicular to the cross
section
• Elongates or shortens the bar
 Types of Loads

1. Normal/ Axial Force (P)

• Perpendicular to the cross
section
• Elongates or shortens the bar
 Types of Loads

2. Shear Force (V)

• Lies in the plane of the cross –
section (parallel)
• Shear (slides) one segment of
the bar relative to the other
segment

3. Twisting Moment/ Torque (T)

• Twist/rotates the bar

4. Bending Moment (M)

• Bends the bar

 STRESS
Stress – it is a force per unit area

Saint Venant’s Principle:

The difference
between the effects of two
different but statically
equivalent loads becomes
very small at sufficiently
large distances from the
load.
