Introduction To Mechanics of Def. Bodies + Normal Stress

This document provides an introduction to strength of materials, which is a branch of engineering mechanics that analyzes the stresses and deformations in materials caused by applied forces. It defines key terms like stress, normal stress, shear stress, and bearing stress. It then provides 10 example problems calculating stresses in various structural components like rods, cables, trusses, and wires under different loading conditions. The maximum allowable stresses are limited based on the material.

Introduction to

Strength of Materials
Strength of Materials

Engineering Mechanics - The study of forces that act on


bodies and the resultant motion that those bodies experience.
1. Statics
2. Dynamics P
3. Strength of Materials

A B

*Statics – assumes that the material (bar and cable) supporting the load is rigid.
Hence, the only concern here is the magnitude of the reaction (P) that shall maintain
the system in equilibrium.
*Strength of Materials – assumes that the supporting materials are deformable
bodies. Hence, the concern is on the maximum load that the whole assembly can
carry without allowing the supporting materials break or bend.
Strength of Materials

Simple Stresses
Stress - The measure of strength of a material per unit
area usually expressed in N/mm2 or MPa.

1. Normal Stress
2. Shear Stress
3. Bearing Stress
Normal Stress
AXIAL STRESS
Normal stress develops when a force is applied
perpendicular to the resisting area.
