SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars In statics we aim at evaluation of M, Q, N in an arbitrary cross-section of a bar M. i. e. in finding : axial force P Q = Q(r 0) bending moment M= M(r 0) as functions of cross section position.

SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars Instead of using general reference coordinates {x, y, z} it is more convenient to set them at bar axis. Thus cross-sectional forces become functions of one cooridnate only: z q Q N = N(x) P x y Q = Q(x) M= M(x) The ultimate goal is to learn skills allowing for drawing diagrams for these functions – even without any calculations!

SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars Important observations Equations for cross-sectional forces change at points of loading application („characteristic points”). 1 k. N/m 2 k. N 4 k. Nm x 4 k. N 2 m 2 m 4 m To write equilibrium equations a global coordinate system has to be set The set of loadings acting an a structure has to be in equilibrium (i. e. equal to zero set of forces). Beforehand, kinematic boundary conditions have to be replaced by static boundary conditions (c. f. Theoretical Mechanics) M. Chrzanowski: Strength of Materials 8/23

SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars In global coordinates the sign of cross-sectional forces depends on the assumption on which part of a structure is considered (that „from left” or „from right) y n n Q N o Q M x M To avoid this ambiguity system of coordinates has to be connected with the normal outward vector n. We adopt the following rules for N, Q axis: Positive direction of N coincides with an outward direction of normal n and positive direction of Q is such that couple {N, Q } is left-twisted. M. Chrzanowski: Strength of Materials 9/23

SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars To define the sign of bending moment we introduce a special case of „axis”. It will be given by pointing at upper or lower surface of a bar. It will be called „bottoms” and marked by a dashed line drawn along the bar axis. We will consider bending moment as being positive if its action results in extension of „bottoms”. n n Q N o Q M Q N o N Q n M, Q, N > 0 n o All figures show: M M M.

SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars Before we draw diagrams of cross-sectional forces for our example, we make agreements according to positive directions of axes of the functions M(x), Q(x), N(x) M(x) x x M(x) 1. Positive axis of M points towards „bottoms” 2. Positive axes of Q i N – can be chosen arbitrarily M. Chrzanowski: Strength of Materials 15/23

It is the side which fibres are subjected to tension. M. Chrzanowski: Strength of Materials 17/23

SM 1 -03: Statics 2: Cross-sectional forces in bars Notice The above assumptions on signs and making diagrams of crosssectional forces are quite arbitrary. These are often different (eg. in mechanical engineering or in some countries: UK, USA): M>0 M. Chrzanowski: Strength of Materials 18/23

In the light of the above assumptions regarding sing convention – we do not need to assigns to the bending moments diagrams. It is just enough to be sure that there are drawn on the side of fibres subjected to tension. Thus we need only to mark „bottoms” for writing down the bending moment equations, but not for making its final diagram! M(x) 0 2 4 68 4 [k. Nm] + 8 [k. Nm] M M(x) Q + 2 [k. N] M.
