9. Mechanics of Materials
• External Loads produce Internal Loads
• Internal Loads cause a body to deform
• Internal Loads cause stress
• How much does body deform?
• How much stress?
• Is it Safe at this stress?
• How big should it be so stress is low
enough?

10. 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.

11. 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.

Begin Chapter 1:

13. External Loads:
• External loads can be Reaction Loads
or Applied Loads!
• Must solve for all unknown external
loads (reaction loads) so that internal
loads can be solved for!
• Internal loads produce stress, strain,
deformation – SofM concepts!

14. Support Types and Reactions (2D):

15. Support Types and Reactions (2D):

16. Pin connections
allow rotation.
Reactions at pins
are forces and
NOT MOMENTS.
Degrees of
Freedom

17. Static Equilibrium
• Vectors: SF = 0 SM = 0
• Coplanar (2D) force systems:
SFx = 0
SFy = 0
SMo = 0 Perpendicular
to the plane
containing the
forces
• Draw a FBD to account for
ALL loads acting on the body.

18. Example FBD:
Draw a FBD of member ABC, which is supported
by a smooth collar at A, roller at B, and link CD.

23. STATICS: You need to be
able to…
• Draw free-body diagrams,
• Know support types and their corresponding
reactions,
• Write and solve equilibrium equations so that
unknown forces can be solved for,
• Solve for appropriate internal loads by taking
cuts of inspection,
• Determine the centroid of an area,
• Determine the moment of inertia about an
axis through the centroid of an area.

24. 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.

25. 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.

26. 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.

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

28. Coplanar Force System
VDifferent than
Fig. 1-3(b)
Start with internal system
of forces as shown below
to get proper signs for V,
N and M.

29. Types of loading

30. Summary of Typical Strength of Material Problem:
1. Calculate unknown reaction forces first.
2. Calculate internal forces at point of interest by cutting
member if necessary.
3. Calculate area properties (inertia, centroid, area, etc.).
4. Calculate stress!!
Examples of 1 and 2 follow

35. EXAMPLE
1. Check if there are any zero-force members.
2. First analyze pin D and then pin A
3. Note that member BD is zero-force member. FBD = 0
4. Why, for this problem, do you not have to find the external
reactions before solving the problem?
Given: Loads as shown on the truss
Find: The forces in each member
of the truss.
