Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
 What is Mechanics?
• Mechanics is the branch of science which describes
and predicts the conditions of rest or motion of
bodies under the action of forces.

• Categories of Mechanics:
- Rigid bodies
- Statics
- Dynamics
- Deformable bodies
- Fluids

• Mechanics is the foundation of most engineering sciences

and is an indispensable prerequisite to their study.

• What are the subjects related to Mechanics in your

curriculum of Mechanical Engineering ? 1-8
 What is Mechanics of Materials ?
➢Mechanics of Materials requires a deformable solid body subjected to
the action of an external applied load(s).

➢Mechanics of Materials is a branch of Mechanics that deals with the

internal effect (stress and strain) in a body subjected to an external force.

➢Stress is associated with strength of the material of which the body is

made while strain is associated with the deformation produced in a body.
 Objectives of MoM
➢Suitability of a structure or machine may depend on the deformations in
the structure as well as the stresses induced under loading. Statics
analyses alone are not sufficient.

➢Considering structures as deformable allows determination of member

forces and reactions which are statically indeterminate.

➢Determination of the stress distribution within a member also requires

consideration of deformations in the member.

➢Stress and strain are most important concepts for a comprehension of

the mechanics of solids. They permit the mechanical behavior of load-
carrying components to be described in terms fundamental to the
engineer.

➢List at least ten (10) load-carrying components that you know.

 Objectives of MoM (Contd.)
➢Both the analysis and design of a given structure involve the
determination of stresses and deformations.

➢Therefore, it is necessary to study the subject of Mechanics of Materials

to learn the same.

➢The main objective of the study of the Mechanics of Materials is to

provide the future Engineer with the means of analyzing and designing
various machines and load bearing structures.

➢What are the different terminologies used for MoM in the literature?
 Applications of MoM
➢Why You Want to Learn MoM ?

➢As a student, you will use the knowledge of MoM in ……………… ?

➢After graduation, you will use the knowledge of MoM in ……………… ?

➢What is the difference between ME student and CE student with respect

to the study of MoM ?
Applications of MoM
Mechanics of Materials in Engineering Design
 Normal Force
➢Forces are vector quantities, thus having direction and magnitude.
They have special names (see the Figure) depending upon their
relationship to a reference plane:
a) Compressive force is a normal force that acts normal to the plane
and directed toward the plane;
b) Tensile force is a normal force that acts normal to the plane and
directed away from the plan

Axial Force and Normal Force Examples
➢ P is axial force and also normal force.

➢ It is called tensile force.

Axial Force and Normal Force Examples
➢ 2P, P and 4P are axial forces and also normal forces.

 Shear Force
➢Shear forces act parallel to the plane as shown in the Figure.

➢Pair of oppositely directed forces produce twisting effect called

moment.

 Shear Force Examples

➢ Force P is applied to punch a hole in a plate.

➢ Forces P are applied to a knuckle joint.

➢ Forces P and P’ are applied transversely

to the member AB.

 Bending Moment
❖ The bending moment is caused by the external loads that tend to bend
the body about an axis lying within the plane of the area.

➢ R1 and R2 are support reactions.

➢ 30 kN and 60 kN are transverse
loads.
➢ BM = (30 kN) (1m) = 30 kN . m

➢ A and B are supports.

➢ 225 N and 800 N/m are transverse
loads.
➢ BM = (225 N) (100 mm)
= 22500 N. mm
= 22.5 N . m 2 - 21
 Torsional Moment or Torque
➢ Torque is the twisting force that tends to cause rotation.
➢ It is the measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that
object to rotate.

➢ External Applied Loads

➢ Internal Resistive Forces

➢ Free Body Diagram (FBD)

➢ Equations of Equilibrium

 Sectioning of a Member
➢ Axial forces acting on a member result in only normal stresses on a plane
cut perpendicular to the member axis.
