INTRODUCTION:
Mechanics – is a physical science that deals
with the behavior of bodies under the influence
of forces

Categories:
* Mechanics of Rigid Bodies
* Mechanics of Deformable Bodies
* Mechanics of Fluids

Mechanics of Deformable Bodies


- deals with how forces are distributed inside
bodies and with the deformations caused by
these internal force's distributions
- these internal forces produces “stresses” in
the body, which could result in the failure of
the material itself
Units Used:

WEIGHT Kg, Grams, Ton Pound (lb), kilo-pound (kip)
LENGTH mm, m, km Inch, feet, miles
FORCE N, kN Lb, Kip

Load Classifications:

1. Dead Load 6. Snow Load


2. Live Load
3. Wind Load
4. Seismic/Earthquake Load
5. Rain load
Point Load – is a force applied at a single
infinitesimal point at a set distance from
an origin or end.
Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)- is a load
that is distributed or spread across the
whole region of an element of the same
intensity.
Uniformly Varying Load (UVL)- is a load
which consists of zero intensity at one end
and linearly varies to the other end.
Couple or Moment- is a pair of forces, equal
in magnitude, whose line of action of force
is not the same. Moment of couple is equal
to the product of either forces and the
perpendicular distance between the forces.

Simple Stresses:
- is an expression as the ratio of the
applied force divided by the resisting area;
or the expression, force per unit area
Categories:
* Normal Stresses
* Shear Stresses
* Bearing Stresses
NORMAL STRESSES:
- is developed when a force is applied perpendicular to
cross-sectional area of the material
- it is the strength of material per unit area or unit
strength
Two Types of Normal Stresses

* Tensile Stress – tends to pull the material

* Compressive Stress – tends to compress the


material
Illustrative Problem:

For the truss as shown in the figure, determine the


stresses in members CE, DE and DF. The cross-sectional
area of each member is 1.8 𝑖𝑛2 . Indicate whether tension (T)
or compression (C).
Illustrative Problem:
Determine the largest weight W that can be supported
safely by the structure as shown in the figure. The
working stresses are 16000 𝑝𝑠𝑖 for the steel cable AB and
720 𝑝𝑠𝑖 for the wood strut BC. Neglect the weight of the
structure. The area of steel cable AB is 0.5 𝑖𝑛2 and the area
of the strut BC is 16 𝑖𝑛2
Illustrative Problem:
Determine the smallest allowable cross-sectional areas of
members BD, BE and CE of the truss as shown. The working
stresses are 20 𝑘𝑠𝑖 in tension and 12 𝑘𝑠𝑖 in compression.
A reduced stress in compression is specified to reduce
the danger of buckling.
Illustrative Problem:

A two-member truss supports a block of weight W as shown


in the figure. The cross-sectional areas for the members
are 800 𝑚𝑚2 for AB and 400 𝑚𝑚2 for AC. Determine the safe
value of W if the working stress are 110 𝑀𝑃𝑎 for AB and
120 𝑀𝑃𝑎 for AC.
Illustrative Problem:

A composite bar consists of aluminum section rigidly


fastened between a bronze section and a steel section as
shown in the figure. Axial loads are applied at the
positions indicated. Determine the stresses in each
section and indicate whether tension (T) or compression
(C).
Illustrative Problem:
The homogeneous bar ABCD as shown in the figure is
supported by a cable that runs from A to B around the
smooth peg at E, a vertical cable at C and a smooth
inclined surface at D. Determine the mass of the heaviest
bar that can be supported if the stress in each cable is
limited to 100 𝑀𝑃𝑎. The area of cable AB is 250 𝑚𝑚2 and
that of cable at C is 300 𝑚𝑚2 .
Problem Set:
1. The rigid beam AB is pin supported at A and supported
by a cable BC as shown in the figure. Determine the
required area of cable BC if the stress is limited to
15 Ksi.
Problem Set:
2. The thrust bearing is subjected to the loads as shown
in the figure. Determine the average normal stress
developed in each cross-section.
Problem Set:
3. The truss is subjected to the loads as shown in the
figure. Determine the required cross sectional area in
members AB, BC and CE if the axial stresses are limited to
15 Ksi in compression and 20 Ksi in tension.
Problem Set:
4. A uniform cylinder is supported by a rigid bar AB and
cable BC as shown in the figure. If the stress in the
cable is not to exceed 7.25 ksi and diameter of 0.50
inches, determine the mass of the heaviest cylinder.
Neglect friction and the weight of the rigid bar AB
