Toughness:
Toughness is the resistance of a substance against a sudden impact of load.

The ability of a material to absorb energy and deform plastically without fracture.
Modulus of toughness is defined as energy absorbed per unit volume by the specimen
when it is loaded from zero to failure. Mathematically,

Its unit is N/mm2(MPa).
Types of Loads:
a) Dead load/Static load
b) Dynamic load/Live load
c) Impact load
Dead Load/Static Load is the load which does not change its magnitude, direction and
position is termed as static load. Self-weight of a structures or permanent features of
building is called dead weight.
Live Load/Dynamic Load the load which changes its magnitude, direction and position,
or, one of these e.g., moving vehicles on the bridge.
Impact Load is sudden application of large magnitude of force in short interval of time.
e.g,Earthquake load, blast load.

“TO PERFORM SIMPLE TENSION TEST ON HOT ROLLED MILD STEEL BAR
ASTM A615/615M”
Objectives:
To study the stress-strain behavior of mild steel
To determine the different mechanical properties of steel
To check the adequacy of specimen as per ASTM 615M
APPARATUS:
32
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
RELATED THEORY
Stress is directly proportional to the strain, but in concretes it follow-up to some extent
33
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
STRESS_STRAIN DIAGRAM
Proportional Limit:
Stress has linear combination with strain. Hook’s law is not valid after
proportional limit. Numerical values of elastic and proportionality limit are
usually identical.
Elastic Limit:
The maximum stress that can be applied to a metal without producing
permanent deformation. If the stresses are not too great the material will return
to its original shape and dimension when the external stress is removed.
Yield Point:
It is point after which there is an increase in strain of the material without any
significant increase of stress. At this point there is reorientation of particles of
material.
Ultimate Strength:
Maximum or highest ordinate on the stress-strain curve is called ultimate
strength. Its maximum strength of the sample.
34
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
Necking:
At about the ultimate stress point, the cross sectional area of the specimen
begins to decrease in a localized region. This phenomenon is called necking.
MODULUS OF ELASTICITY:
It is the slope of stress-strain curve within the proportional limit of the material.
35
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
Resilience:
The ability of the material to absorb energy in the elastic region.
Modulus Of Resilience:
It is amount of work done on a unit volume of material, as simple tensile force
is increased from zero to proportional limit. It is determined by calculating area
under stress-strain curve from zero up to proportional limit.
Toughness:
The ability of the material to absorb energy in the plastic region.
Modulus Of Toughness:
Strain per unit volume up to rupture is called the modulus of toughness. It is
determined by calculating total area under stress-strain curve, from zero to
rupture point.
Residual Strain:
When material is loaded beyond the elastic limit then after unloading the
material does not come back to its original position and there is a permanent
set in the specimen.
Ductile Material:
Material having a relative large tensile strain up to the point of rupture or failure
is called as ductile material e.g. mild steel.
Brittle Material:
Materials having a relatively small tensile strain up to the point of rupture are
called as brittle materials. E.g. cast iron, concrete, etcetera.
36
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
Hauling of Machine:
In the method the machine stop for some time showing yielding stage. It is the
best method for observing yielding in ductile materials.
Offset Method:
For material that doesn’t have any well-defined yield point, yield strength is
determined by offset method. This method consists of drawing a line parallel to
stress-strain curve at 0.2% strain. Where this intersects the stress-strain curve,
at that point stress ordinate is recorded as proof stress. This proof stress is
taken as yield stress.
37
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
Procedure:
38
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
39
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
In this method and increasing load is applied to the specimen at a uniform rate. The load
at which there is a halt or hesitation of the load indicating pointer is noted and termed the
“yield point”.
The stress at this point is computed and termed the yield stress. Calculate the yield
stress by dividing the load at the “yield point” by the nominal cross-sectional area of the
test specimen.
TENSILE STRENGTH:
Calculate the tensile strength of the Deformed Bar by dividing maximum load that
specimen sustains during tension test by the original cross-sectional area of the
specimen.
ELONGATION:
To determine the percentage of elongation, fit the ends of the fractured specimen.
Elongation is the increase in length of the gage length, join carefully and measure the
distance between the gage marks. This is expressed as a percentage of the original
gage length. In reporting elongation values, give both the percentage increase and the
original gage length.
However, if the elongation is less than the minimum requirement, discard the specimen
and retest a new specimen.
Percentage Elongation:
The change in length per unit original length expressed in percentage.

If any part of the fracture takes place outside of the middle half of the gage length or in

may not be representative of the material. If the elongation measured meets the
minimum requirements specified, no further testing is needed.
PRECAUTIONS:
COMMENTS:
In this experimental stress analysis we apply a given load and then measure the
strain on individual members of a structure or machine. Then we use the stress
strain relationships to compute the stresses in those members to verify that these
stresses remain within the allowable limits for the particular materials used.
The main theme of this application note is aimed at strain measurements using
bonded resistance strain gages. We will introduce considerations that affect the
accuracy of this measurement and suggest procedures for improving it.

Shear Force:
A force which tends to slide one part of section against the adjacent part acting normal
to the longitudinal axis and tangentially to the cross section is called shear force.
Bending Moment:
Algebraic sum of all the moments located between a cross section and one end of the
structural member.
49
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
Bending moment that bends beam convex downward is positive and one that bends
beam convex upward is negative.
Elastic Curve:
The deflected shape of longitudinal axis of beam is called elastic curve.
Modulus of Elasticity:
It is the ratio of unit stress to unit strain and it is determined as the slope of the straight
line from zero to proportional limit from stress strain diagram. Modulus of elasticity is
given by following relation:
σ= EԐ
Modulus of Rupture:
Maximum tensile/bending stress that can be developed in a beam before failure or it is
the energy absorbed per unit volume when the specimen is loaded from zero to failure
load.
Flexural Formula:
The relationship between flexural stress and bending moment is expressed by flexural
formula and is given as
σ= My/I ------- (1)
Where,
σ= Flexural stress
I=Moment of inertia
Loading Arrangement:
We want such type of loading arrangement that can produce pure moment zone so
that failure is only due to moment not due to combine effect of moment and shear.
This can only be achieved by two point loading arrangement.

Torsion apparatus
63
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS-I
RELATED THEORY:-
Torsion is the engineering word used to describe the process of twisting a member
about its longitudinal axis. A torsion test is quite instrumental in determining the value
of modulus of rigidity (ratio of shear stress to shear strain) of a metallic specimen.
Procedure:
Set the clamping distance of the supports at 600 𝑚𝑚 and clamp the test shaft at
both ends.
Position the lever and set the dial gauge tip on the lever groove in compressed
form.
Set the gauge scale to Zero.
Note that 1 𝑚𝑚 reading of the dial gauge measures 1°angle of twist.
Now put the load in suitable increments and for each load record the angle of
twist.
Calculate the corresponding values of shear modulus and shear stress.
Repeat the experiment with a new span of 200𝑚𝑚 of the same shaft.
You can also repeat the entire experiment with new test shaft specimen.
