Packet 5: Tossup 11

The compressive force on the bottom of a tapered structure reduces the effective strength of this phenomenon in the Resal effect. Mindlin plate theory introduces a correction factor kappa to ensure the internal energy from this phenomenon is correct. The Tresca criterion sets an upper bound on the strength of this phenomenon. A classic method to calculate beam deflection involves first (-5[1])plotting (15[1])this phenomenon and then integrating that plot (-5[1])to produce a (*) bending (10[1])moment diagram. (10[2]-5[1])When this (10[1])phenomenon is ignored, Timoshenko beam theory (10[1])reduces to Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The off-diagonal components (10[1])of the (10[1])Cauchy stress tensor (10[2])represent (10[1])the stress (10[1])named for this phenomenon, (10[3])denoted (10[1])tau. (-5[1])For 10 points, normal forces are contrasted with (10[1])forces from (10[1])what phenomenon, (-5[2])which are (-5[1])parallel to a material’s cross-section? ■END■ (10[6]0[7])

ANSWER: shearing [accept shear stress or shear force; prompt on stress or plastic deformation]
