# General Problem-Solving
1. **FBD + equilibrium**
- $\sum F_x=0,\quad \sum F_y=0,\quad \sum M=0$
2. **Load–deformation / stress–strain relation**
3. **Compatibility** if indeterminate
4. Solve for forces/torques → stresses/deformations
- **Determinate:** equilibrium is enough
- **Indeterminate:** equilibrium + deformation + compatibility
> **Workflow:** Equilibrium → Deformation → Compatibility → Solve
# Stress, Strain & Material Relations
$
\sigma=\frac{F}{A},\qquad
\varepsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L},\qquad
\sigma=E\varepsilon
$
$
\tau_{avg}=\frac{V}{A},\qquad
\gamma=\frac{\tau}{G},\qquad
G=\frac{E}{2(1+\nu)}
$
For pins:
$
\tau=\frac{V}{nA}
$
- $n=1$: single shear
- $n=2$: double shear
- Tension: $\sigma>0$
- Compression: $\sigma<0$
## Inclined Plane
$
\sigma=\frac{P}{A}\cos^2\theta
$
$
\tau=\frac{P}{2A}\sin2\theta
$
- $|\tau|_{max}$ at $\theta=45^\circ$
## Factor of Safety
$
FS=\frac{\text{strength}}{\text{applied stress}}
$
# Generalized Hooke's Law / Poisson Effects
$
\nu=-\frac{\varepsilon_{lat}}{\varepsilon_{axial}}
$
$
\varepsilon_x=
\frac{1}{E}[\sigma_x-\nu(\sigma_y+\sigma_z)]
+\alpha\Delta T
$
Cyclic for $y,z$.
$
\gamma_{xy}=\frac{\tau_{xy}}{G}
$
- **Plane stress:** $\sigma_z=0$, usually $\varepsilon_z\neq0$
- **Plane strain:** $\varepsilon_z=0$, usually $\sigma_z\neq0$
- Thermal effects produce **normal strain**, not shear strain
# Axial & Thermal Deformation
General:
$
\Delta L=\int\frac{F(x)}{A(x)E(x)}dx
$
Constant properties:
$
\boxed{\Delta L=\frac{FL}{EA}}
$
Thermal:
$
\varepsilon_T=\alpha\Delta T
$
$
\boxed{\Delta L=\frac{FL}{EA}+\alpha\Delta TL}
$
Fully restrained:
$
\Delta L=0
\Rightarrow
\boxed{\sigma=-E\alpha\Delta T}
$
- Heating + restraint → compression
- Cooling + restraint → tension
### Stiffness
$
k=\frac{EA}{L}
$
Higher $E$ or $A$ → stiffer
Higher $L$ → less stiff
## Rigid-Bar Compatibility
For small rotation:
$
v=x\theta
$
$
\frac{v_1}{x_1}=\frac{v_2}{x_2}
$
For angled members:
$
e=u\cos\theta+v\sin\theta
$
# Stress Cube
$\tau_{ij}$:
- $i$ = face normal
- $j$ = stress direction
$
\tau_{xy}=\tau_{yx},\quad
\tau_{xz}=\tau_{zx},\quad
\tau_{yz}=\tau_{zy}
$
Positive normal stress = tension.
# Torsion
## Circular Shafts
$
\gamma=\rho\frac{d\phi}{dx}
$
$
\boxed{\tau=\frac{T\rho}{J}}
$
$
\boxed{\tau_{max}=\frac{Tc}{J}}
$
$
J_{solid}=\frac{\pi r^4}{2}
$
$
J_{hollow}=\frac{\pi}{2}(r_o^4-r_i^4)
$
Angle of twist:
$
\boxed{\Delta\phi=\int\frac{T(x)}{GJ}dx}
$
Constant $T,G,J$:
$
\boxed{\Delta\phi=\frac{TL}{GJ}}
$
Torsional stiffness:
$
k_t=\frac{GJ}{L}
$
### Key Relationships
- $\tau\propto\rho$ → zero at center, max at outside
- $J\propto r^4$ → diameter strongly affects stress/twist
- Larger $G,J$ → less twist
## Indeterminate Torsion
Use:
1. Torque equilibrium
2. $\Delta\phi=TL/GJ$
3. Compatibility
Fixed at both ends:
$
\sum\Delta\phi_i=0
$
## Composite / Bonded Shafts
Same rotation:
$
\phi_1=\phi_2
$
Same twist rate:
$
\frac{d\phi_1}{dx}=\frac{d\phi_2}{dx}
$
$
T_i=G_iJ_i\frac{d\phi}{dx}
$
Therefore:
$
\boxed{T_i\propto G_iJ_i}
$
- $\phi$ is the same across the cross section
- $\gamma$ varies linearly with radius
- $\tau=G\gamma$ can **jump** when $G$ changes
## Gears
$
r_1\phi_1=-r_2\phi_2
$
$
\frac{T_1}{r_1}=\frac{T_2}{r_2}
$
Meshing gears rotate in opposite directions.
# Beams: Load, Shear & Moment
$
\boxed{\frac{dV}{dx}=w(x)}
$
$
\boxed{\frac{dM}{dx}=V(x)}
$
Therefore:
$
\Delta V=\int w\,dx,\qquad
\Delta M=\int V\,dx
$
- Slope of $V$ = $w$
- Slope of $M$ = $V$
- Area under $w$ = $\Delta V$
- Area under $V$ = $\Delta M$
- Point load → jump in $V$
- Point moment → jump in $M$
# Beam Stress
## Flexural Stress
$
\boxed{\sigma_x=-\frac{My}{I}}
$
$
\boxed{\sigma_{max}=\frac{|M|c}{I}}
$
- Linear with $y$
- Zero at neutral axis
- Maximum at extreme fibers
Moment-curvature:
$
M=\frac{EI}{\rho}
$
## Transverse Shear
$
\boxed{\tau=\frac{VQ}{It}}
$
$
Q=A^*\bar y^*
$
- $I$ = entire cross section
- $A^*$ = area above/below point
- $\bar y^*$ = distance from neutral axis to centroid of $A^*$
- Usually maximum near neutral axis
- Zero at outer surfaces
## Area Moment of Inertia
$
I=I_c+Ad^2
$
Rectangle:
$
I=\frac{bh^3}{12}
$
Circle:
$
I=\frac{\pi r^4}{4}
$
Hollow circle:
$
I=\frac{\pi}{4}(r_o^4-r_i^4)
$
> $I$ → bending, $J$ → torsion

# Exam Traps / Must-Know Concepts
- **Indeterminate:** equilibrium alone is not enough
- Include **thermal strain** in compatibility when $\Delta T\neq0$
- $\Delta L=0$ does **not** imply $\sigma=0$
- Plane stress $\neq$ plane strain
- Use $J$ for torsion; $I$ for bending
- Composite shafts share **twist**, not necessarily torque/stress
- If $T(x)$ varies, integrate $\frac{T(x)}{GJ}$
- Bending stress depends on $M$; shear stress depends on $V$
- Use the full-section $I$ in $\tau=\frac{VQ}{It}$
- Keep force/torque/stress signs consistent
