Objective        Compute the tensile stress in the round bar.

Given         Force = F = 9500 N; diameter = D = 12 mm.

Analysis          Use the direct tensile stress formula. Equation (3-1):\sigma =F/A. Compute the cross-sectional area from A=\pi D^{2} /4 .

Results         A=\pi D^{2} /4 =\pi \left(12mm\right) ^{2}/4=113mm^{2}

 

\sigma=F / A=(9500 \mathrm{~N}) /\left(113 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\right)=84.0 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{mm}^{2}=84.0 \mathrm{MPa}

Comment             The results are shown on stress element A in Figure 3_6 . which can be taken to be anywhere within the bar because, ideally, the stress is uniform on any cross section. The cube form of the element is as shown in Figure 3-5 (a) T=P/n.
