Mechanics of Materials

External Loads produce Internal Loads

Internal Loads cause a body to deform
Internal Loads cause stress
How much does body deform?
How much stress?
Is it Safe at this stress?
How big should it be so stress is low enough?

Course Outcomes 1
Solve axially loaded members for stresses and
deflections in statically determinate or
indeterminate cases including thermal stresses.
Solve torsionally loaded shafts for stresses and
deflections in statically determinate or
indeterminate cases.
Solve beams under bending for stresses.
Solve transversely loaded beams for internal shear
forces and bending moments. Develop shear and
moment diagrams.

Course Outcomes 2
Solve beam deflection problems using integration,
and superposition.
Solve for the stresses in beams with combined
axial and transverse loads.
Solve for stresses in general cases of combined
loading and check for yielding using simple yield
criteria.
Solve for transformed stresses, principal stresses
and construct and interpret Mohr's circle for
stresses.
Solve axially loaded slender beams for buckling
under a variety of boundary conditions.

Statics Review: External Loads

Small contact area;
treat as a point
FR is

w(s) = area

One body

External Loads:
External loads can be Reaction Loads
or Applied Loads!
Must solve for all unknown external
loads (reaction loads) so that internal
loads can be solved for!
Internal loads produce stress, strain,
deformation SofM concepts!

Support Types and Reactions (2D):

Support Types and Reactions (2D):

Pin connections
allow rotation.
Reactions at pins
are forces and
NOT MOMENTS.

Degrees of
Freedom

Static Equilibrium
M = 0

Vectors:F = 0

Coplanar (2D) force systems:

Fx = 0
Fy = 0
Mo = 0
Draw a FBD to account for
ALL loads acting on the body.

Perpendicular
to the plane
containing the
forces

Example FBD:

Draw a FBD of member ABC, which is supported

by a smooth collar at A, roller at B, and link CD.

STATICS: You need to be able

to
Draw free-body diagrams,
Know support types and their corresponding
reactions,
Write and solve equilibrium equations so that
unknown forces can be solved for,
Solve for appropriate internal loads by taking
cuts of inspection,
Determine the centroid of an area,
Determine the moment of inertia about an
axis through the centroid of an area.

Internal Reactions
Internal reactions are
necessary to hold body
together under loading.
Method of sections make a cut through
body to find internal
reactions at the point of
the cut.

FBD After Cut

Separate the two parts
and draw a FBD of
either side
Use equations of
equilibrium to relate the
external loading to the
internal reactions.

Resultant Force and Moment

Point O is taken at the
centroid of the section.
If the member (body) is
long and slender, like a
rod or beam, the
section is generally
taken perpendicular to
the longitudinal axis.
Section is called the
cross section.

Components of Resultant
Components are
found
perpendicular &
parallel to the
section plane.
Internal reactions
are used to
determine stresses.

Coplanar Force System

Start with internal system
of forces as shown below
to get proper signs for V,
N and M.

Different than
Fig. 1-3(b)

Summary of Typical Strength of Material Problem:

1. Calculate unknown reaction forces first.
2. Calculate internal forces at point of interest by cutting
member if necessary.
3. Calculate area properties (inertia, centroid, area, etc.).
4. Calculate stress!!

Examples of 1 and 2 follow

Statics: Example 1 - Pliers

Given: Typical
household pliers as
shown.
Find: Force applied to
wire and force in pin
that connects the two
parts of the pliers.

Do this for homework!

See Solution Link
Side: what is the shear
stress in pin and bending
stress in handle? SofM

Statics: Example 2 Crane Structure

Given: Crane structure

as shown.
Find: Forces and
FBDs for cables A-B
and A-E, boom DEF
and post AFC.

Do this for homework!

See Solution Link

Side: what is the normal stress

in cables (average normal
only) and normal stress in
boom and post (combined
loading)? SofM

EXAMPLE
Given: Loads as shown on the truss
Find: The forces in each member
of the truss.

Plan:

1. Check if there are any zero-force members.

2. First analyze pin D and then pin A
3. Note that member BD is zero-force member. FBD = 0
4. Why, for this problem, do you not have to find the external
reactions before solving the problem?

+ FY = FCD sin 45 FAD sin 45 = 0
FCD = 318 lb (Tension) or (T)
and FAD = 318 lb (Compression) or (C)

EXAMPLE (continued)

Could you have analyzed Joint C instead of A?
