Mechanics of Deformable Bodies
• Purpose of Strength of Materials

• Difference from Mechanics of Rigid Bodies

• Concept of Stress

• Units of Stress

• Types of Stress
Strength of Materials
Deals with the elastic behavior of loading materials, relationships between externally
applied loads and internal resisting forces associated deformations.

Purpose:

• To ensure that structure will be safe against the maximum internal effects that
may be produced by any combination of loadings.
Rigid Bodies and Deformable Bodies
• Static / Dynamics: Determine the force required at point P to support the load
W; assumed the crowbar to be rigid enough to permit the desired action

• Strength of Material: investigate the bar itself to be sure that it will neither break
nor be flexible that it bends without lifting the load
Stress
• Is the unit of Strength of Materials

Unit of Stress are expressed in

• SI: Pascal (Pa or N/m2)

• English: psi (lb/in2)

• CGS: kg/cm2

Note:

101.325KPa = 14.7psi = 1.032kg/cm2

Types of Stress
Condition in which the stress is constant and uniform

• Axial Stress is the stress due to force acting at the centroid of resisting cross-sectional area
Tensile Stress

Compressive Stress

𝜎 is axial stress, MPa or psi

P is the applied force or load, N or lb

A is cross sectional area, mm2 or in2

Types of Stress
• Shearing Stress is the stress due to the shearing force applied to the resisting
area. A shearing force is the force applied parallel to the resisting area

•
where,

𝜏 is shearing stress, MPa or psi

P is the applied force or load, N or lb

𝐴 is cross sectional area, mm2 or in2

Types of Stress
• Bearing Stress is the stress cause by force which is perpendicular to the
resisting area. It is the contact pressure between separate bodies.

where,
𝜎 is bearing stress, MPa or psi

P is the applied force or load, N or lb

A is projected cross sectional area, mm2 or in2

Sample Problems
