Document Summary

Review the stress analysis developped in previous chapters regrading axial load, torsion, bending and shear. Discuss the solution of problems where these internal loads occur simultaneously on a member"s x-section. So, tankers and boilers and things that hold a fluid. So that"s like a big metal thing holding a fluid. Because of how fluids work, this fluid will exert a pressure force outwards on the holding material in all directions. That pressure force is causes a normal stress upon the material. Thin wall refers to the ratio of the vessel"s inner radius, to it"s thickness. Normal stress is the stress that is developed in the normal direction. Logitudinal stress is the stress that is developed in the direction parallel to the member. The following is a summary of loadings that can be applied onto a member: a) b) c) d) e) f)
