Normal Stress Strain Tensile strength • Resistance to a force acting to pull the material apart P ΔL σ = ε = • Determined by testing a specimen A Lo

Compressive Strength: Where: σ = Stress ε = Strain P = Applied load ΔL = Beam deflection • Point at material under load experience crush failure A = Area L = Starting length • For normal design practice, it is assumed to be equal to o tensile strength

Stress Strain Relationship Stee l PtiProperties

• The important characteristics of steel for didesign purposes are:

– yield stress (Fy)

– ultimate stress (Fu) – modulus of elasticity (E) – percent elongation (ε) – coefficient of thermal expansion (α)

BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 23 BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 24 The TiTension TTtest Yield Strength

4 Ranges of responses: • Elastic • Yield point is the point beyond which the material • Plastic (yield plateau) stretches briefly without an increase in load • Strain hardening

• Necking and failure • The stress at the yield point is the material’s tensile (strain softening) yields strength

BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 25 BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 26

Shear Strength Elongation

The resistance to tearing or ripping of the material. The formula for computing elongation is: The formula for comppguting shear stress is: V L - L τ = u o eu = 100 A Lo [ which is an approximation of τ = VQ/ (It)] Where: eu = Elongation in percent Lu = Lengggth after elongation where : = Shear stress τ Lo = Starting length V = Applied shear force A = Cross‐sectional area

BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 27 BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 28 Elongation Ductility

Threshold on yield stress, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus temperatures vary as a function of mechanical property under consideration. • Temperatures below room temperature do not have an adverse effect on Fy but can have a significant effect on ductility. • Behavior will transform from ductile to brittle at a threshold temperature rang e known as the Ductile‐to‐ Brittle Transition Temperature (DBTT) range.

BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 41 BMA Engineering, Inc. – 6000 42

Radius of Gyration Stee l Shapes

The formula for radius of gyration (r) is: Hot‐rolled shapes are produced from molten steel in a furnace that is poured into a continuous casting where the steel solidifies but does not cool completely. The partially Ι r = cool ed steel is tethen passed tougthrough roesollers to Α achieve the desired shape. (On the other hand, cold‐formed steel (CFS) is from steel sheet, strip, plate, or flat bar in roll forming machines or by press brake or bending operations. The material thicknesses for such thin‐walled steel members usually range from 0.0147 to about ¼”. (gage 6 = .2031”; gage 29 = .0141”))
