Material shear and normal stress question

In summary, material shear stress is a type of stress that occurs when two forces are applied in opposite directions parallel to the surface of a material, causing it to deform or shear. Material normal stress, on the other hand, occurs when a force is applied perpendicular to the surface of a material, causing it to deform or compress. The main difference between the two is the direction of the force and the resulting deformation. Material shear stress can be calculated by dividing the shear force by the cross-sectional area of the material, and it is most commonly measured in units of force per unit area. Materials that have weak or no intermolecular bonds, such as liquids and gases, are most susceptible to shear stress due to their lack of resistance to parallel forces

Homework Statement



Everything needed is written in the question ( Open the attached image )
Nyhow the required is to find the value of P.

Homework Equations



[tex] Shear stress = \frac{ \Delta V }{\Delta A} [/tex] eq 1
[tex] normal stress = \frac{ \Delta N }{\Delta A} [/tex] eq 2

The Attempt at a Solution

For the coned part,

I know that

[tex] r = (h + 25)/1000 meters [/tex] so is substute in

[tex] A = 2 \pi r h [/tex] to get

[tex] A = 2 \pi \frac{(h^2 + 25h)}{1000} [/tex] therefore taking the derivative DA/DH give

[tex] dA = \frac{4 \pi h + 50 \pi}{1000} .dh [/tex] substute to derivative of eq 2 and then integrate wiith respect to h for the boundries 0 < h < 50*10^-3 m and then multiplying by sin (45) to get sum of vertical force.

For the cylindrical part,

Just multiply A = 2*pie*r*30*10^(-3) to shear stress to get the force.
suming up the two force should equal P. however i got it wrong :/ !

So any ideas of how to solve this beast ??

Thank you for your question. It seems like you are on the right track with your approach. However, there are a few things that need to be clarified in order to solve this problem correctly.

Firstly, the shear stress equation you have written is incorrect. The correct equation is:

Shear stress = \frac{F}{A}

Where F is the force and A is the area on which the force is acting. This means that in order to find the force, you need to multiply the shear stress by the area, not the other way around.

Secondly, in order to find the value of P, you need to find the sum of the vertical forces acting on the coned and cylindrical parts. This means that you need to integrate the normal stress equation (eq 2) with respect to h, not the shear stress equation.

Finally, when integrating with respect to h, you need to use the correct bounds for the coned and cylindrical parts. For the coned part, the bounds should be 0 < h < 50*10^-3 m, as you have correctly stated. However, for the cylindrical part, the bounds should be 50*10^-3 m < h < 80*10^-3 m, as the cylindrical part starts at h = 50*10^-3 m and ends at h = 80*10^-3 m.

I hope this helps you to solve the problem correctly. Good luck!
 

Related to Material shear and normal stress question

1. What is material shear stress?

Material shear stress is a type of stress that occurs when two forces are applied in opposite directions parallel to the surface of a material. It causes the material to deform or shear, rather than stretch or compress.

2. What is material normal stress?

Material normal stress is a type of stress that occurs when a force is applied perpendicular to the surface of a material. It causes the material to deform or compress, rather than shear or stretch.

3. What is the difference between shear stress and normal stress?

The main difference between shear stress and normal stress is the direction in which the force is applied. Shear stress is applied parallel to the surface of the material, while normal stress is applied perpendicular to the surface. Additionally, shear stress causes the material to deform or shear, while normal stress causes the material to deform or compress.

4. How is material shear stress calculated?

Material shear stress is calculated by dividing the shear force by the cross-sectional area of the material. It is typically measured in units of force per unit area, such as pounds per square inch (psi) or newtons per square meter (N/m^2).

5. What materials are most susceptible to shear stress?

Materials that have weak or no intermolecular bonds, such as liquids and gases, are most susceptible to shear stress. This is because these materials do not have a strong resistance to forces applied parallel to their surface, causing them to deform or shear more easily.
