Stress/Strain • Stress s = Fnormal to area/A • Shear Stress t = Fparallel to area/A • Strain e=dL/Lo [m/m; or %] • Young’s modulus E: s = Ee or E = s/e • For bar, d = PL/AE or FL/AE Tension compression

Sample problem • A steel bar with known dimensions is subjected to an axial compressive load. The modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ration are known. What is the final thickness of the bar? • A) 19.004mm • B) 19.996mm • C) 20.00mm • D) 20.004mm
Sample problem, food materials emphasis • A block of cheese with known dimensions is stacked and thus subjected to an axial compressive load. The modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ration are known. What is the final thickness of the sample?
Sample problem, materials emphasis • A block of cheese with known dimensions is stacked and thus subjected to an axial compressive load. After being stacked for 2 hours, what is the final thickness of the sample?
Solution • From the graph, strain after 2 hours (120 min) is approx 0.09. (be careful with extrapolation, but could use eqn for longer times). • Original dimensions: 100 x 100 x 100mm • Strain .09mm/mm so 100-100(.09) = 91mm tall • Poisson’s ratio 0.3 so expansion (in width) .03mm • 103x103x91mm tall

Bulk Density • Bulk density is a property of particulate materials like sand or grain. It is defined the mass of many particles of the material divided by the volume they occupy. • Bulk Density = M/V [kg/m3] • The volume includes the space between particles as well as the space inside the pores of individual particles.
EP545: Loads exerted by free-flowing grain on shallow storage structures
EP545 • Total equivalent grain height: taken as the “average” grain height if the top grain surface is not horizontal (may not be, angle of repose) • Design approach, shallow grain holding structures: • Determine material properties (bulk density, angle of repose, coefficient of friction) • Use properties to calculate total equivalent grain height • Calculate static pressures (static vertical pressure at any point, static lateral pressure, and vertical pressure on floor) • Calculate resultant wall forces (resultant lateral force, resultant shear force) • Ex., Lateral force per unit length PH = LH2/2 where • L is the lateral pressure (function of depth z) and H is the equivalent grain height • Lateral pressure L(z) = kV(z) • Where L(z) = lateral pressure at grain depth z, psf (pounds per square foot) • k = ratio of lateral to vertical pressure, dimensionless and assumed to be 0.5 • V(z) = vertical pressure at equivalent grain depth z, psf • V(z) = Wg where W is the bulk density (lb/ft3), g is acceleration to due gravity
Hellevang • Overview of temporary grain storage (free reference http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/publications/landing-pages/crops/temporary-grain-storage-ae-84) • The pressure grain exerts per foot of depth is called the equivalent fluid density • Table 1.

Particle size distribution • Different for different materials! • Good reference: Chapter 35, CE manual, soil properties and testing • Sieve sizes and corresponding opening sizes (ASTM) • Typical particle size distribution (for soil): • Remember statistics for particle size distribution • Research on particle size distributions of nanoparticles • Normal distribution • Mean (“average”) particle size • Measure of dispersion of particle size (standard deviation, for example)
Sample questions • A building with an 8-foot high wall is storing grain. Grain was placed into the storage building and leveled until it is within 6 inches of the top of the wall. The grain density is 60 pounds per bushel. The lateral force per unit length at the base of the wall is most nearly • (a) 638, (b) 672, (c) 717, (d) 1360
Solution: use Hellevang Answer is B
Sample questions • If corn is treated as a non-cohesive granular material (shelled), the equivalent fluid density (pounds per cubic foot) is most nearly: • (a) 22 • (b) 28 • (c) 35 • (d) 56
Solution • Look up in Hellevang table! • Hellevang’s table for shelled corn: 23 #/sqft • Answer is A • Do not be deterred by the fact that the values are not exactly the same! PE questions are constructed to accommodate minor differences in tabulated values!
Break! • Stretch, drink of water, short break…
