be monitoring time to time. Strictly no Special Exam/Evaluation for
those without valid reasons for absence.
❖ In case of being absent, student must present an excuse letter signed
by parent/guardian and medical certificate (if possible). As much as
possible do not absent.
❖ Lecture notes will be provided (e-copy uploaded in Google

LECTURE 1
 Mechanics Deformable Body
• A deformable body is a
• the study of the effect solid body that
of physical forces on changes size and/or shape
objects and their as a result of loads that are
movement applied to it or as a result
of temperature changes.

Mechanics of Deformable Bodies- studies the effect

of physical forces on objects
 Definition (Formal)

Mechanics of deformable bodies deals with the internal effects and

deformations that are caused by the applied loads.

It is a branch of mechanics that studies the internal effects of stress and

strain on a solid body.

Stress is associated with the strength of the material from which the body
is made, while strain is a measure of the deformation of the body.

The subject is also called Mechanics of Materials or Strength of

Materials.

Sample Problems on
Finding the
Magnitude of
Internal Loadings
SITUATION A: The beam AB is fixed to the wall and has a uniform
weight of 80 lb/ft. The trolley supports a load of 1500 lb.
1. Determine the resultant internal loadings (N, V, M) acting on the
cross-section through point C.
2. Determine the resultant internal loadings (N, V, M) acting on the
cross-section through point D.
SITUATION B: Given that the reactions at supports A and
B are vertical, find the following:
1. Normal force at point C 3. Moment at pt C
2. Shear force at point C
SITUATION C: If point D is located 0.5m from B, find the
following:
1. Moment at pt D
2. Shear force at point D
