Strength of materials
• Deals with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains.
• Also called Mechanics of materials
• various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural
members, such as beams, columns, and shafts.
Why Strength of Materials ?
Rigid Body
• Does not undergo deformation when force apply on it

• Practically, there is no rigid bodies


Deformable body
• Undergo deformation when force apply on it
• When the body regain original shape
,if deforming force is removed is called
Elasticity.
• If doesn’t deform to original form then
It is called plasticity
Stress
