Introduction
• In Chapter 1 and 2, you learned how to determine the normal stress due to
centric loads.

• In Chapter 3, you analyzed the distribution of shearing stresses in a circular

member due to a twisting couple.

• In Chapter 4, you determined the normal stresses caused by bending couples.

• In Chapters 5 and 6, you evaluated the shearing stresses due to transverse

loads.

• In Chapter 7, you learned how the components of stress are transformed by a

rotation of the coordinate axes and how to determine the principal planes,
principal stresses, and maximum shearing stress at a point.

• In Chapter 8, you will learn how to determine the stress in a structural member
or machine element due to a combination of loads and how to find the
corresponding principal stresses and maximum shearing stress.
