Displacement diagrams are effectively plotting the displacement vectors of the joints as defined by the end of the bars. The displacement vector for the end of a bar is made up of two components: (1) an extension, of a magnitude defined by the bar force and the constitutive behavior of the bar which is parallel to the direction of the bar and (2) a
20 mar 2011 · This is calculated using the formula d = PL/AE, where d is the end deflection of the bar in meters, P is the applied load in Newtons, L is the length of the bar in meters, A is the cross sectional area of the bar in square meters, and E is the modulus of elasticity in N/m2.
In the linear portion of the stress-strain diagram, the tress is proportional to strain and is given by $\sigma = E \varepsilon$ since $\sigma = P / A$ and $\varepsilon = \delta / L$, then $\dfrac {P} {A} = E \dfrac {\delta} {L}$ $\delta = \dfrac {PL} {AE} = \dfrac {\sigma L} {E}$ To use this formula, the load must be axial, the bar must have a ...
(a) Determine the deflection of a coil spring under the influence of an axial force \(F\), including the contribution of bending, direct shear, and torsional shear effects. Using \(r = 1\ mm\) and \(R = 10\ mm\), compute the relative magnitudes of the three contributions.

P. A. (1.2) Note that this is simply a definition; stress has the units of force divided by area [MN/m2 (MPa)], or pounds per square inch (psi). The load in Fig. 1.1 and the resulting stress are considered to be tensile when the object is stretched and are compressive when it is shortened.
