Normal and Shearing Stress - Combined Loading

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving normal and shear stresses in a pipe or other closed tubular geometry. The book solution for normal and shear stresses are given, along with the individual's calculations for the values. The individual also mentions using a single pipe wall thickness in the calculation for the first moment, which results in the book answer being obtained. The individual provides their worked solution for reference.

Homework Statement
Determine the normal and shear stresses developed at the points of interest.
Relevant Equations
Strength of Materials

Normal Stress ##\sigma##:

## \sigma = \frac{F}{A}## - tensile/compressive
##\sigma = \frac{Mr}{I}## - bending

Shear Stress ##\tau##:

## \tau = \frac{Tr}{J}## - Torsion
## \tau = \frac{QV}{It}## -Shear Flow

Here is my combined loading:

The book solution for normal and shear stresses respectively are:

a) ##20.4~\text{MPa}, 14.34 ~\text{MPa} ## - I find both

b) ##-21.5~\text{MPa}, \boxed{19.98~\text{MPa}}## - I find the normal stress, but I'm not getting the book answer for the shear stress.

I'm getting Torsion + Shear Flow ##\approx 25.6 \text{MPa}##

I'm just brushing up for the heck of it...No professor to ask. Does anyone get solution in the book?

I may be wrong, but for the cross-section shared by points a and b, my values are:

Fx = 0
Mx = 90 kN-mm

Fy = 1.5 kN
My = 108 kN-mm

Fz = 1.2 kN
Mz = 67.5 kN-mm

Would you mind to verify?

Sorry, I had some bad editing there. Yeah, those match my values.

Never mind. I believe I found the problem. For the shear flow in a pipe (or other closed tubular geometry depending on position I suppose):

$$\tau = \frac{QV}{I (2t)} $$

Its either that or you only use a quarter of the pipe in ##Q## computation( I was using a half - with single wall thickness). To use a single pipe wall thickness ##t##, the first moment ##Q## is computed for one quarter of the pipe.Adding that to the Torsion gets me the book answer...

FAQ: Normal and Shearing Stress - Combined Loading

What is normal stress?

Normal stress is the stress component perpendicular to the surface of a material. It is calculated by dividing the force applied perpendicular to the surface by the area over which the force is distributed.

What is shearing stress?

Shearing stress is the stress component parallel to the surface of a material. It is calculated by dividing the force applied parallel to the surface by the area over which the force is distributed.

What is combined loading?

Combined loading refers to the situation where a structural element is subjected to multiple types of loads simultaneously, such as axial loads, shear loads, bending moments, and torsional moments. This results in a complex state of stress within the material.

How do you calculate normal and shearing stress under combined loading?

To calculate normal and shearing stress under combined loading, you need to consider the contributions from each type of load. For normal stress, sum the contributions from axial loads and bending moments. For shearing stress, sum the contributions from shear loads and torsional moments. Use principles of superposition and stress transformation equations to find the resultant stresses.

What is the significance of Mohr's Circle in analyzing combined loading?

Mohr's Circle is a graphical method used to determine the principal stresses, maximum shear stresses, and the orientation of the stress elements under a given state of stress. It is particularly useful in visualizing and analyzing the combined effects of normal and shearing stresses.
