Slide No. 5 Introduction When a fleural load is combined with torsional and aial loads, it is often difficult to locate the points where most severe stresses (imum) occur.

Furthermore, the location of the critical section along the beam length that provides the critical stress needs to be identified. LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 9 Maimum Stress in a Member due to Combined Loads Depending on the shear and bending moment variations (shear and moment diagrams) along the beam, the critical cross section of the beam of Fig. 1 could be Section a-a, Section b-b, or any other section located a distance from the origin.

With reference to remarks 1,, and, it is possible to locate one or more possible point of high stress. Even so, it may be necessary to compute the various stresses at more than one point of a member before locating the most critically stressed point. LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 17 Some Helpful Remarks for Identifying the Maimum Stresses 5. The superposition method can be used to combine stresses on any given plane at any specific point of a loaded member provided that the stresses are below the proportional limit of the material.
10 LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 18 Some Helpful Remarks for Identifying the Maimum Stresses 6. fter the stresses on a pair of mutually perpendicular planes at a specific point are determined, plane-stress transformation equations and Mohr s circle can be used to compute the principal stresses as well as the imum shearing stress at the point. LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 19 Eample The dimensions of a T-shaped beam and the loads on it are shown in Figs. a and b. The horizontal 5000-lb tensile force acts through the centroid of the crosssectional area. Determine the imum principal normal stress and the imum shearing stress in the beam, assuming elastic behavior.

Since in this cross section the 6 in in 5 in width t is minimum at the neutral ais, the imum shearing stress will occur there.

Slide No. Eample (cont d) The longitudinal normal stress on the uppermost fibers is M yup 5000 ( )( ) up = + I = + 16 = = 1,51.8 psi (T) While the normal stress on the lowest fibers is M yup 5000 ( )( 5) up = I = 16 = 08.,05.9 = 1,998 psi (C) LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 5 Eample (cont d) t any point between either outer surface and centroid, there will be both a normal stress ans a shear stress. However, a comparison of their orders of magnitude suggests that the normal stresses at the outside far eceed the transverse shear stresses at the centroid. Hence we can conclude that the critical fibers will be those at the outside surface, where the imum principal normal stresses will be.
14 LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 6 Eample (cont d) Therefore, the principal normal stresses are = psi (T) and = 1998 psi (C) nd the imum shearing stress will occur at the lower fiber, that is min τ = = = 999 psi 0 and will act 5 to the longitudinal ais of beam. LECTURE 5. COMONENTS: COMBINED LODING (8.) Slide No. 7 Eccentric ial Loading in a lane of Symmetry When the line of action of the aial load passes through the centriod of the cross section, it can be assumed that the distribution of normal stress is uniform throughout the section. Such a loading is said to be centric, as shown in Fig.
