AIM OF THE SUBJECT

Predicting how geometric and physical properties of

the structure will influence its behavior under service
conditions of external loading.

The primary objective of study is to provide future

engineer with the means of analyzing and designing
various machines and load bearing structures.

Usually the objectives in analysis here will be the

determination of the stresses, strains, and
deflections produced by loads.
6
SUBJECT OUTCOMES

• To understand the concepts of stress at a point, strain at a

point, and the stress-strain relationships for linear- elastic
materials.
• To apply the formal theory of solid mechanics to calculate
forces, deflections, moments, stresses, and strains in a
wide variety of structural members subjected to tension,
compression, torsion, bending.
• To draw Free Body Diagrams (FBD) and Bending moment
Diagrams for beams.
• To utilize basic properties of materials such as elastic
moduli and Poisson's ratio to appropriately to solve
problems related to isotropic elasticity.

Materials are deformable and Mechanics of Solids
takes this into account.

Bodies which doesn’t Bodies which does

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

The mechanics of deformable solids is more

concerned with the internal forces and associated
changes in the geometry of the components
involved.

The properties of the materials used are of

importance, the strength of which will determine
whether the components fail by breaking in
service, and the stiffness of which will determine
whether the amount of deformation they suffer is
acceptable.
10
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

Mechanics of Solids is a branch of mechanics that

studies the internal effects of stress and strain in a
solid body which is subjected to an external loading.

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.

A thorough understanding of the fundamentals of this

subject is of vital importance as mechanics of
materials or strength of materials is central to the
whole activity of engineering design. 11

 Elastic materials
• Elasticity is the tendency of solid materials to return to
their original shape after being forces are applied on them.

• When the forces are removed, the object will return to its
initial shape and size if the material is elastic.

• In other words, The deformation disappears completely,

after removal of external forces.

• Steel cables, rubber bands, springs are the examples of

the elastic materials.

17
 Homogeneous materials

• A homogenous material is a material that consists of uniform

composition throughout. It is a material that is characterized by
its inability to be separated mechanically into different
materials.

• A characteristic of homogenous material is that it is made up of

only one compound or element.

• There are several types of common homogenous materials,

which include some types of ceramics, metals, plastics, alloys,
paper, boards, resins or coatings.

18
 Isotropic materials
• An isotropic material is one which looks the same in every
direction. We cannot define any special direction using the
material properties.

• In other words, none of the properties depend the orientation;

it is perfectly rotationally symmetric. Note that in order to be
isotropic the material must be homogenous on the length
scale of interest, i.e. the same at every point in the material.

• For instance, rubber is a very isotropic material. Take a

rubber ball, and it will feel the same and bounce the same
however you rotate it.
