3. Recall that the necessary conditions for equilibrium of a body (rigid or deformable) are:
External Loads
The external loads acting on a deformable body are the known force and
moments that are applied to the body.
Support Reactions and Member Connections
The external loads that are applied to a member must generally be
transmitted to adjacent members that are connected to the given member,
or carried directly to some form of support.
Internal Resultants
In the study of mechanics of deformable bodies, we must
consider not only external forces and couples, that is, the
applied loads and reactions, but we also must consider
internal resultants, that is, forces and couples that are
internal to the original body.

The force intensity on that section is defined as
the normal stress.
The actual distribution of stresses is statically
indeterminate, i.e., can not be found from statics
alone.

equal to the average stress but the resultant of the
stress distribution must satisfy

10. The stress distributions in eccentrically loaded
members cannot be uniform or symmetric.
A uniform distribution of stress in a section
infers that the line of action for the resultant of
the internal forces passes through the centroid
of the section.
A uniform distribution of stress is only possible
if the line of action of the concentrated loads
P and P’ passes through the centroid of the
section considered. This is referred to as
centric loading.
If a two-force member is eccentrically loaded,
then the resultant of the stress distribution in a
section must yield an axial force and a
moment.

The resultant of the internal shear force distribution
is defined as the shear of the section and is equal
to the load P.
Corresponding internal forces act in the plane of
section C and are called shearing forces.
Shear stress distribution varies from zero at the
member surfaces to maximum values that may be
much larger than the average value.
The shear stress distribution cannot be assumed to be
uniform.

The boom is in compression with an axial force of
40 kN and average normal stress of –26.7 MPa.
The sections of minimum area at A and B are not under
stress, since the boom is in compression, and therefore
pushes on the pins.

Factor of safety considerations:
• uncertainty in material properties

• uncertainty of analyses
• number of loading cycles
• types of failure

• risk to life and property
• influence on machine function
Factor of Safety

27. Ultimate stress:
Is the maximum amount of the stress a material can withstand before
it breaks or begins to carry less load.
This stress is determined in the lab for a given material by conducting
normal tensile/compression load or shear load using a machine
know as the Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
When a normal load is applied, the resulting stress is known as the
ultimate tensile/compression stress. Similarly, when a shear load is
applied the resulting stress in known as the ultimate shear stress
Allowable stress:
Is the maximum stress that a structural member or a machine
component will be allowed to carry under normal conditions.
Allowable stress should be always less than the ultimate stress
