Mechanics of Materials 1
2. Deformations
None of the materials existing in nature are absolutely rigid , they all change
their dimensions and shape under the action of external forces, i.e. they are
deformed. It is usual to distinguish two kinds of deformations:
a) elastic deformation, which vanishes completely upon removal of the load;
b) plastic deformation, which doesn't vanish upon removal of the load.
3. External Forces
If a structure is considered separately from the surrounding bodies the action
of the latter on the structure is replaced by forces which are defined as external
forces.
According to nature distribution of external forces over the body, the latter
are divided into:
a) body forces, which are distributed over the volume of a body and are
applied to each of its particles (body forces comprise, for example, gravity forces
or forces of magnetic attraction);
b) surface forces, which are applied to portions of the surface (forces of
wind, pressure);
c) forces, which are distributed along a line;
d) concentrated forces. These are forces, which are distributed on the
smallest surface.
e) couples of forces or concentrated moments.
It is usual to distinguish static loads, dynamic loads, cyclic loads.
4. Internal Forces
External forces produce strains and internal elastic forces in a body, which
are increased as the external forces are increased.
If a solid body is in natural state (without external forces applied), then
internal forces will be equal to zero.
4. Equilibrium equations are set up for the forces acting on the remaining
part of the body and the internal forces are calculated.
Let us cut the body by a plane
and reject the right-hand part, replacing
the effect of the rejected part on the
remaining left-hand part by internal
elastic forces. , are the main

where the component of internal forces normal to the section, Nx, is called the
normal or longitudinal force at the section;
the forces Qy and Qz are called the transverse or shearing forces;
the moment about the normal axis, Mx, is called the twisting moment (torsional
moment);
the moments My and Mz are called the bending moments with respect to the y and z
axes (see Fig. 3).
When external forces are known all six internal force factors are
determined from six equilibrium equations that can be set up for the cut portion of
a rod.
