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.

Step 1: • When the body is sectioned, decide which segment of the body is to be considered. If the segment has a

the section. These resultants are normally placed at the point representing the geometric center or centroid of
the sectioned area.
• If the member is subjected to a coplanar system of forces, only N, V, and M act at the centroid.

Step 3: • Moments should be summed at the section, about each of the coordinate axes where the resultants act. Doing
Equilibrium this eliminates the unknown forces N and V and allows a direct solution for M and T.
• If the solution of the equilibrium equations yields a negative value for a resultant, the directional sense of the

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.
