Rigid Bodies
• a basic requirement for the study of the
mechanics of deformable bodies and the
mechanics of fluids (advanced courses).
• essential for the design and analysis of
many types of structural members,
mechanical components, electrical
devices, etc, encountered in engineering.

A rigid body does not deform under load!

that only has a magnitude and no
other characteristics.

 Moment of Inertia of
Plane Areas
Moment of Inertia
a quantity of a body’s tendency to resist angular
acceleration. It is the sum of the products of the
mass of each particle in the body with the square
of its distance from the axis of rotation

otherwise known as the

angular mass or rotational
inertia, of a rigid body is a
tensor that determines the
torque needed for a desired
angular acceleration about a
rotational axis.

Stress- Strain Diagram
Proportional Limit
(Hooke's Law)
From the origin O to the point
called proportional limit, the
stress-strain curve is a straight
line. This linear relation between
elongation and the axial force
causing was first noticed by Sir
Robert Hooke in 1678 and is
called Hooke's Law that within
the proportional limit, the stress
is directly proportional to strain
or
The constant of proportionality k is called the
Modulus of Elasticity E or Young's Modulus and is
equal to the slope of the stress-strain diagram
from O to P.
Elastic Limit

The elastic limit is the limit beyond which the

material will no longer go back to its original
shape when the load is removed, or it is the
maximum stress that may e developed such
that there is no permanent or residual
deformation when the load is entirely
removed.
Yield Point
Yield point is the point at which the material
will have an appreciable elongation or
yielding without any increase in load.

Ultimate Strength
The maximum ordinate in the stress-strain
diagram is the ultimate strength or tensile
strength.

Rupture Strength

Rupture strength is the strength of the material at

rupture. This is also known as the breaking
strength.
Elastic and Plastic Ranges
The region in stress-strain diagram
from O to P is called the elastic
range. The region from P to R is
called the plastic range.
Modulus of Resilience
Modulus of resilience is the
work done on a unit volume of
material as the force is
gradually increased from O to
P, in N·m/m3. This may be
calculated as the area under
the stress-strain curve from
the origin O to up to the elastic
limit E (the shaded area in the
figure). The resilience of the
material is its ability to absorb
energy without creating a
permanent distortion.
Modulus of Toughness

Modulus of toughness is the

work done on a unit volume
of material as the force is
gradually increased from O
to R, in N·m/m3. This may be
calculated as the area under
the entire stress-strain curve
(from O to R). The
toughness of a material is its
ability to absorb energy
without causing it to break.
