Mechanics of MaterialsPart 2: Tension, Bending, and Buckling

How strong is spaghetti?
3
Estimate the strength of spaghetti
► Estimate how much force can one strand of spaghetti can withstand.
► What happens when you put multiple strands together?
4
Spaghetti can be pretty strong
► The winning bridge from EI at California State University – Fullerton in 2014.
Bridge Weight: 242 g
Bridge Height: 25 cm
Maximum Load:
62.5 kg (138 lbs)!
5
Strength depends on how you load the sample
► We sometimes refer to a force as a “load”. We say that we are loading the
spaghetti when we apply a force to it.
► Make a guess: Spaghetti is strongest when you load it in…
tension / bending / compression
► What happens to the spaghetti when you try to compress it along its length?
6
Compression: crushing and buckling
► What happens to the spaghetti when you try to compress it along its length?
All images are in the public domain.
If the sample is short and
squat, it will be crushed.
If the sample is long and
slender, it will buckle
(bend out to the side).

How do you measure the strength of a material in tension?
► The maximum stress a material can handle is the ultimate tensile strength
► To avoid plastic deformation, keep the stress below the yield strength
Graphs from the video https://youtu.be/D8U4G5kcpcM?t=17s; Accessed 6/23/17
This is the yield point where
the deformation changes from
elastic to plastic.

Factors that affect bending
► What changes could you make so the beam shown below bends less?
► Some ideas:
► Reduce the load (the person’s weight)
► Bring the supports closer together
► Make the beam out of a stronger material
► Make the beam thicker

Activity: bend a ruler or popsicle stick
► Take a ruler or popsicle stick and try bending
it in the two ways shown below.
► Which way is easier to bend?
All images are in the public domain.
1. Bend so the top face
(in white) is folding in
on itself.
2. Rotate 90 degrees
and try again.
1616
Why does the bending direction make a difference?
► When a sample is loaded by bending, the shape and orientation of the cross-
section makes a difference.
► The two diagrams shown below have the same cross-sectional area, but the
one on the right has a higher area moment of inertia, which measures
resistance to bending.
► Area moment of inertia is also called second moment of area.

(in white) is folding in

Strength in compression
22
Compression: crushing and buckling
► Samples fail in compression by either crushing or buckling.
All images are in the public domain.
If the sample is short and
squat, it will be crushed.
If the sample is long and
slender, it will buckle
(bend out to the side).
23
Crushing
► A sample will be crushed if the applied force exceeds the material’s compressive
strength.

Buckling factors
► A sample will fail by buckling if the load is large enough to cause the sample to
deflect to the side.
► What factors affect a sample’s
resistance to buckling? Play around
with some spaghetti and maybe popsicle
sticks to find out.
► Some factors:
► Material
► Length
► Cross-sectional area
► Shape
► How the ends are secured (are they
allowed to rotate?)
All images are in the public domain.
If the sample is long and
slender, it will buckle
(bend out to the side).
25
Buckling equation
► The maximum load a column can support without buckling is called the Euler
critical buckling load.
► Next we’ll talk about the variable K
26
Buckling end conditions
► There are different ways to secure the ends of the columns.

Materials laboratory
► You can now use your new knowledge to measure material properties for spaghetti
► Ultimate tensile stress
► Young’s modulus
► Also determine how strength depends on length, diameter, force, etc
