Simple Stresses and Strains Stress • No engineering material is perfectly rigid and hence‚ when a material is subjected to external load‚ it undergoes deformation. • While undergoing deformation‚ the particles of the material offer a resisting force (internal force). When this resisting force equals applied load the equilibrium condition exists and hence the deformation stops. • These internal forces maintain the externally applied forces in equilibrium. Contd… • Stress = internal

Bending Moment EXPERIMENT 2B: SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT 1. ABSTRACT Performance-based design approach‚ demands a thorough understanding of axial forces. Bending characterizes the behavior of a slender structural element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element. By this experiment we can verify the limit load for the beam of rectangular cross-section under pure bending. Moments at the specific points are calculated by the method of statics

perpendicular to the area and is developed whenever the external loads tend to push or pull on the two segments of the body. B. Shear Force‚ V If the external force is applied perpendicular to the axis of a member‚ it causes an internal stress contribution acting tangent to the member’s cross section. The resultant of this stress distribution is called the ‘shear force’. The shear force is developed when the external loads tend to cause the two segments of the body to slide over one another. C.

Freezing fouling may occur at rest‚ such as in a reservoir‚ or under conditions of high shear rate and large temperature gradients‚ as in a scraped surface heat exchanger. For this reason‚ several experimental studies have investigated the effect of thermomechanical history on fouling behaviour. The temperature difference between the bulk
