SHEAR STRESSES: Derivation of formula for shear stress distribution Shear stress distribution across various beam sections like rectangular, circular, triangular, I, T angle and channel sections.
When the load is applied on to the beam, it would deform by bending. This generates internal stresses which can be represented by a SF(V) and BM(M)..
SF is the resultant of vertical shear stresses which acts parallel to cross section. BM is the resultant of normal stresses which acts normal to the cross section
Pure Bending or Simple Bending If the length of the beam is subjected to a constant bending moment and no shear force (i.e., zero shear force ), then the stresses will be set up in that length of the beam due to B.M only and that length of the beam is said to be in pure bending or simple bending . The stresses set up in that length of the beam are known as bending stresses.
∫y X dA represents the moment of entire area of the section about NA. But we know that moment of any area about an axis passing through its centroid, is equal to zero. Hence NA coincides with the centroidal axis . Thus the centroidal axis of a section gives the position of neutral axis.
Moment of Resistance Due to pure bending, the layers above NA are subjected to compressive stresses and the layers below are subjected to tensile stresses. Due to these stresses, forces will be acting on the layers. These forces will have moment about the NA. Total moment of these forces about the NA for a section is known as Moment of Resistance. The force on the layer at a distance y from NA is • = (E/R) X y X dA Moment of this force about NA • = force on layer X y • = (E/R) X y X dA X y (E/R) X y 2 X dA
Moment of Resistance
Total moment of forces on the section of the beam, • = ∫(E/R) X y 2 X dA • = (E/R) ∫ y 2 X dA Let M = external moment applied on the beam section. For equilibrium the moment of resistance offered by the section should be equal to the external bending moment. M = (E/R) ∫ y 2 X dA But ∫y 2 X dA represents the moment of inertia of the area of the section about NA. let this MOI be I. M = (E/R) I or M E I R
σ = My/I Flexure formula It says that bending stress varies linearly as the B.M in the distance increase and it decreases as the area moment of inertia increases. The maximum bending stress occurs on the fibers those are farthest from the neutral axis. i.e., y. σ max = My max /I I/Y max depends on geometry of the section and is called section modulus.
most of the time we would not have pure bending, there will also be a shear force acting on the beam cross section. Presence of shear force does not significantly effect bending stresses. So we can consider flexural formula of pure bending valid for more general case of bending.
The shear force V is the resultant of shear stresses which are vertically parallel to the cross section. we denote shear stresses using τ . To maintain equilibrium , these vertical shear stresses have complementary horizontal shear stresses which act between horizontal layers of the beam as shown in figure.
Consider a beam made of several planks. When the load is applied , there is a tendency to the planks to slide relative to one another
Now if the glue is applied between the planks and made it into a single beam and load is applied. Now the planks will not slide and this leads to the generation of horizontal stresses between them.
If instead of vertical force if we apply moment then sliding of the planks will not occur and this case would become pure bending condition. No horizontal stresses would exist.
LOAD Presence of these horizontal shear stresses explains why wooden beams some times fail longitudinally.
Shear stress at a section Simply supported beam with udl. For udl SF and BM will vary along the length of the beam Consider two sec t ions AB and CD as shown.
L e t i t i s r equi r ed to find the shear st r ess on the section AB a t a d i st a nce y1 from the NA. On the cross section of the beam let EF be the line at a distance y1 from the NA. Part of the beam above EF and between AB and CD. This part of beam may be taken to consist of infinite number of elemental cylinders each of area dA and length dx. Consider one such cylinder y from NA. dA = area of elemental cylinder dx = length of elemental cylinder y = distance of elemental cylinder from NA σ = intensity of bending stress on the end of the elemental cylinder on the section AB. σ + dσ = intensity of bending stress on the end of the elemental cylinder on the section CD. Let at the section CD, F + dF = Shear Force M + dM = Bending Moment Let at the s ec t ion A B , F = Shear Force M = Bending Moment
Bending stress on section AB, σ = My/I Bending stress on section CD, σ + dσ = (M + dM)y/I Force on AB = σ X dA = (My/I) X dA Force on CD similarly = ((M + dM)y/I) X dA Forces on the ends of elemental cylinder are different. Hence there will be unbalanced force on the elemental cylinder. ∴ net unbalanced force on the elemental cylinder = ((M + dM)y/I) X dA - (My/I) X dA = (dM/I) X y X dA ∴ total unbalanced force above EF = ∫ (dM/I) X y X dA = (dM/I) ∫ y X dA = (dM/I) X A X y A = area of section above the level EF i.e., EFGH y ̅ = distance of the C.G of the area A from the NA.
Due the total unbalanced force above EF, the beam may fail due to shear. In order the above part may not fail, the horizontal section of the beam at level EF must offer a shear resistance. This shear resistance at least must be equal to total unbalanced force to avoid failure due to shear. •
Shear resistance at level EF = Total unbalanced force Shear force = τ X b X dx τ = intensity of horizontal shear at the level EF b = width of beam at level EF τ X b X d x = (d M /I) X A X y τ = (dM / d x).A y ̅ / Ib τ = F. (A y ̅ /Ib) since (dM/dx) = shear force = F. The shear stress given by above equation is the horizontal shear stress at the distance y1 from the neutral axis. But by the principal of complementary shear, the horizontal shear stress is accompanied by a vertical shear stress τ of the same quantity
Shear stress distribution for different sections Rectangular section: τ = F . ( A y ̅ / Ib) A = ((d/2)-y) X b y ̅ = y + (1/2)((d/2) – y) Substituting above values, τ = F/2I((d 2 /4) – y 2 ) At top edge, y = d/2, τ=0; At neutral axis, y = 0, τ=Fd 2 /8I or 1.5F/bd τ avg = F/bd τ max = 1.5 τ avg
Shear stress distribution for different sections Circular section: τ = F . ( A y ̅ /I b ) dA = b X dy = EF X dy = 2 X EB X dy = 2 X √ (R 2 – y 2 ) X dy Moment of this area ab o ut NA = y X dA = 2y √ (R 2 – y 2 ) dy Moment of whole shaded area about NA is obtained by integrating above equation between y and R. We get, Ay ̅ = 2/3(R 2 – y 2 ) 3/2 Substituting above value, we get τ = F/3I (R 2 – y 2 ) At neutral axis, y = 0, τ=FR 2 /3I or 4F/3 ∏ R 2 τ avg = F/ ∏ R 2 τ max = 4/3 τ avg
