ME-211 “Statics”

• Question:
– In Statics, what useful means did you use to show all the
forces or moments?
• Answer:
– Free-body diagrams (FBD) are used to show all the
forces and moments acting at a joint or on a member.

As an Engineer, two questions you want to answer whenever you

design something.
1. Is the material strong enough?
2. Is the material stiff enough?
We will learn to answer these questions in this course
Main objective of course is to provide the engineering methods of
analyzing various machines and structures
Design and analysis of a given structure involve the determination
of stresses and deformation

Application of Statics to Mechanics of Solids

• In Statics, you determined external loadings acting

on a body.
• Knowing the external loads does not tell us if the
member can safely carry the loads.
• For Mechanics of Solids, we will determine internal
forces which are the loadings acting within a body.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Determining Internal Force (IF)

• Cut a convenient section though the body where the IF are

to be determined.
• •Sketch free-body diagram showing all the external loads
and the IF acting both normal and parallel to the section.
Directions of IF are assumed.
• Compute the magnitudes and the directions of the IF.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Magnitudes and Directions of IFs

• Question:
– How can you determine the magnitudes and directions of the
internal forces?
• Answer:
– Use equilibrium equations to compute the resultant internal
forces.
– If the resultant is negative, the assumed direction is incorrect.

If the pipe is fixed to the wall at A, determine the resultant internal loadings acting
on the cross section at B.

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

• Question:
– Is it sufficient to determine the magnitudes and directions of the
internal forces acting on a section?
• Answer:
– It is not sufficient. You need to know the intensity of the resulting
forces associated with internal forces.

Definition of Mechanics of Solids

• Study of the interactions between bodies and the forces acting on them.
Description of Mechanics of Solids
• Derive relationships between applied loads and internal load intensities
and deformations
• Study the stresses and deformations that result when mechanical
components and structures are loaded by external forces.
• Study failure mechanisms, material behavior, complex structure and
advanced topics.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

•Stress
 
Stress is the intensity of internal forces. It can also be defined as force per
unit area , or intensity of the force distributed over a given section

SI Units
1 kPa 103 Pa 103 N/m2
1 MPa 106 Pa 106 N/m2
