Understanding Stress & Strain

This document is an introductory guide to materials science and engineering that discusses stress and strain. It explains that the chapter will define stress and strain, describe how forces lead to stresses and strains, explore whether stress can exist without strain and vice versa, help the reader physically understand stress, discuss stress and strain tensors and their components, introduce hydrostatic and deviatoric stress and strain, explain planes of maximum shear stress and their role in plasticity, cover surface stress, and discuss residual stress and its microstructural origins.

Understanding Stress & Strain


In these brief set of slides we try to get a grasp of tensile, compressive and shear
stresses

No strain, no Sorry, this will not help with worldly


What will you learn in this chapter?

 Why stress & strain? Why not work with loads and elongations (which are more
easy to comprehend)?s
 How do forces lead to stresses and strains?
Can stress exist without strain and can strain exist without stress?
 How to ‘physically’ understand stress?
 Understanding stress and strain tensors in terms of their components.
 Hydrostatic and deviatoric components of stress and strain.
 Planes of maximum shear stress (role in plasticity).
 Understanding surface stress.
 Residual stress. Microstructural origins of residual stress.
