Strength of Materials Flashcards
The applied force is perpendicular to the resisting area
Normal Stress
The applied force is parallel to the resisting area
Shear Stress
It is the contact pressure between separate bodies.
Bearing Stress
Normal stress is either ______ or ________
tensile stress or compressive stress
This type of force will tend to shorten the member
Compressive Force
This type of force will tend to lengthen the member.
Tension Force
A normal stress on a longitudinal section
Circumferential/ Tangential Stress
A normal stress on a transverse section
Longitudinal Stress
The change in angle at the corner of an original rectangular element
Shear Strain
The ratio of the shear stress τ and the shear strain γ
Modulus of Elasticity/Rigidity
The ratio of the sidewise deformation (or strain) to the longitudinal deformation (or strain)
Poisson’s Ratio
A measure of a resistance of a material to change in volume without change in shape or form
Bulk Modulus of Elasticity
