Newton / square milimeter (N/mm^2)
A joint that fixes two bars with a bolt and is subjected to both normal(bar experiences this) and shear(Bolt experiences this) stresses
Lap Joint
The perpendicular stress that the bolt exerts on the rectangular area of the hole on the bar
Bearing stress
Formulas for the Factor of Safety
F.S. = σult / σallow F.S.= Fult / Fallow F.S.= τult / τallow
The Factor of Safety must be __________
Greater than 1
Formula for Strain(ε)
ε = δ / L
δ - change in length
Formula for the angle of deformation(γ)
γ = arctan(ΔX / L) in RAD
Formula for Hooke’s Law
σ = Eε
E - Modulus of Elasticity
Formula for Shear Strain(τ)
τ = Gγ
G - Modulus of Rigidity
γ - angle of deformation
Derivation of the formula for deformation(δ)
σ = Eε
but σ = P/A and ε= δ/L
P/A = Eδ/L
Answer:
δ = PL / AE

Formula for the elongation of a material due to its own weight
δweight = (ρgL^2) / (2E)
δtotal = δexternalforce + δweight
