Los componentes de tensión de un cuerpo sometido a múltiples cargas se analizan considerando un pequeño cubo centrado en el punto O.
El cubo tiene los componentes de esfuerzo normal y cortante que actúan sobre caras perpendiculares a los ejes correspondientes.
Las caras ocultas también experimentan estas tensiones que son iguales y opuestas a las de las caras visibles. Por lo tanto, el equilibrio se mantiene.
Aunque las tensiones en las caras del cubo difieren ligeramente de las del punto O, este pequeño error desaparece a medida que la longitud del lado del cubo se reduce a cero.
Teniendo en cuenta el diagrama de cuerpo libre del cubo, las fuerzas normales y cortantes que actúan sobre las caras se determinan multiplicando los componentes de tensión correspondientes por el área de cada cara.
Luego, mediante la aplicación de las ecuaciones de equilibrio, se derivan las relaciones entre los componentes del esfuerzo cortante, lo que implica que solo se requieren seis componentes del esfuerzo para definir la condición del esfuerzo en un punto dado.
Además, el esfuerzo cortante no puede ocurrir solo en un plano. Por lo tanto, se debe ejercer un esfuerzo cortante igual en otro plano perpendicular a él.

componentes del estrés

El análisis de tensiones bajo múltiples condiciones de carga es complejo y requiere una comprensión integral de las tensiones normales y cortantes. Consideremos un pequeño cubo en el punto O, sometido a tensión en sus seis caras, visibles o no. Los componentes de tensión normales σ_x, σ_y, σ_z actúan perpendicularmente a los ejes x, y y z. Los componentes del esfuerzo cortante τ_xy y τ_xz se ejercen sobre caras perpendiculares a estos ejes.

Curiosamente, las caras ocultas del cubo también experimentan estas tensiones, iguales y opuestas a las de las caras visibles, lo que garantiza el equilibrio. A medida que la longitud del lado del cubo se acerca a cero, la diferencia entre las tensiones en O y las de las caras del cubo se vuelve insignificante.

El examen de las fuerzas que actúan sobre el cubo conduce a relaciones cruciales entre los componentes del esfuerzo cortante: τ_xy es igual a τ_yx, τ_yz es igual a τ_zy y τ_zx es igual a τ_xz, lo que indica que sólo seis componentes del esfuerzo, no nueve, definen la condición de esfuerzo en un punto.

Es importante destacar que el corte no puede ocurrir en un solo plano. Se debe aplicar un esfuerzo cortante igual en otro plano perpendicular al primero. Finalmente, la situación de tensión interpretada puede variar dependiendo de la orientación del elemento considerado, destacando la complejidad del análisis de tensión bajo múltiples condiciones de carga.

Components of Stress

stress components on a cube at a point

Stress components on a small cube help describe how a body behaves under multiple loading. The cube is centered at point O and has stress acting on all six faces, whether the faces are visible or hidden. Normal stress components σx, σy, and σz act perpendicular to the x, y, and z axes. Shearing stress components also act on the cube faces.

The visible faces carry shear stresses such as τxy and τxz. The hidden faces carry equal and opposite stresses. This balance keeps the cube in equilibrium. As the side length of the cube becomes very small, the difference between the stress at point O and the stress on the cube faces becomes negligible.

Looking at the forces on the cube also shows key links between shear components. The shear stresses satisfy τxy = τyx, τyz = τzy, and τzx = τxz. Because of these relations, only six stress components are needed to define the stress condition at a point, not nine. Shear cannot act in only one plane. An equal shearing stress must also act on a perpendicular plane.

The stress picture can change when the cube is rotated. That means the interpreted stress state depends on the orientation of the element being studied. This makes stress analysis under multiple loading conditions more complex.

normal stress

Normal Stress in Axial Loading

Normal stress acts perpendicular to a material’s cross-sectional area. It appears when a force is applied along the axis of an object, which is called axial loading. Bridge truss members are a practical example of this kind of loading. When a rod carries axial load, internal forces develop across the section. Because these forces act normal to the plane of the section, the stress is called normal stress. Stress here means the average stress over the whole cross-section, not the value at one...

shearing stress

Shear Forces in Bolts and Rivets

Shearing stress is caused by transverse forces acting on an object. These forces create internal forces in the plane where the external forces are applied. The total internal force in that section is called the shear. Average shearing stress is found by dividing the shear by the cross-sectional area. This value is only an average, because shear stress is not spread evenly across the section. It can be zero at the surface and much higher than the average in other areas. Bolts, pins, and rivets...

bearing stress

Bolt-to-Plate Contact Pressure

Bearing stress is the contact pressure between two separate bodies. A common example is a bolt pushed through a plate. The bolt applies a force to the plate, and the plate pushes back with an equal and opposite force. That force is not a single point load. It is made up of many smaller forces spread across the contact surface between the bolt and the plate. Because these microforces are complex, engineers use an average value called bearing stress. Bearing stress is found by dividing the...

applications of stress

Boom and Rod Stress Analysis

Boom and rod stress analysis shows how a pinned support structure carries a load. The boom and the rod are connected by a pin and held in place by brackets and pins. The structure is then separated from its supports so the forces can be studied clearly. A free-body diagram is drawn to identify every force on the boom, the rod, and the load. The reaction forces on both members are found using equilibrium equations. At point P, the reaction causes compression in the boom. At point R, the...

stress on an oblique plane

Axial Load Stress on Inclined Sections

Axial loading creates stress in a material along its central axis. This kind of load can cause compression or elongation, and it produces normal stress. Normal stress acts perpendicular to the material area and can be either tensile or compressive. When the section is not perpendicular to the load, it becomes an oblique plane. On this inclined plane, the stress state includes both normal stress and shearing stress. Shearing stress acts parallel to the area and changes shape without changing...

stress: general loading conditions

Stress Components on a Loaded Body

Stress components on a loaded body can be found by cutting the body through a point with a plane parallel to the xy plane. That section carries the original loads, along with normal forces and shearing forces. The result is a simple way to describe how a structure responds under combined loading. The shearing force in the section can point in different directions within the plane. It is split into two parts that run parallel to the x and y axes. Each part is divided by the area, and as that...

design consideration

Safety Factors in Structural Design

Safety factors in structural design help engineers choose a material and loading limit that can be used safely. The process begins with a material’s ultimate strength. This value comes from tests that increase force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load is then divided by the original cross-sectional area to find the ultimate normal stress, or strength. Ultimate shearing stress is another key value used in design. These limits show how much stress a material...
