Mechanics of Materials
Study relationship between external loads applied to a deformable body and the intensity of internal forces acting within the body. Computation of the deformation of bodies due to external loading. Material behavior

Course Outcomes 1
Solve axially loaded members for stresses and deflections in statically determinate or indeterminate cases including thermal stresses. Solve torsionally loaded shafts for stresses and deflections in statically determinate or indeterminate cases. Solve beams under bending for stresses. Solve transversely loaded beams for internal shear forces and bending moments. Develop shear and moment diagrams.

Course Outcomes 2
Solve beam deflection problems using integration, and superposition. Solve for the stresses in beams with combined axial and transverse loads. Solve for stresses in general cases of combined loading and check for yielding using simple yield criteria. Solve for transformed stresses, principal stresses and construct and interpret Mohr's circle for stresses. Solve axially loaded slender beams for buckling under a variety of boundary conditions.

Statics Review: External Loads

Small contact area; treat as a point FR is resultant of w(s) = area under curve, acts at centroid One body acting on another

Acting on narrow area

One body acting on another w/o contact

Supports & Reactions

Coplanar force systems Surface forces at supports or points of contact between bodies are called REACTIONS

Supports & Reactions

Translations and Rotations Forces and Moments

Pin connections allow rotation. Reactions at pins are forces and NOT MOMENTS.

You need to be able to

Draw free-body diagrams, Know support types and their corresponding reactions, Write and solve equilibrium equations, Determine the centroid of an area, Determine the moment of inertia about an axis through the centroid of an area.

Internal Reactions
Internal reactions are necessary to hold body together under loading. Method of sections make a cut through body to find internal reactions at the point of the cut.

FBD After Cut

Separate the two parts and draw a FBD of either side Use equations of equilibrium to relate the external loading to the internal reactions.

Resultant Force and Moment

Point O is taken at the centroid of the section. If the member (body) is long and slender, like a rod or beam, the section is generally taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Section is called the cross section.

Components of Resultant
Components are found perpendicular & parallel to the section plane. Internal reactions are used to determine stresses.

Coplanar Force System

Start with internal system of forces as shown below to get proper signs for V, N and M.
