¢  All
branches of Engineering deal
with physical systems, the
component parts of which are to
be assigend definite physical
sizes, fabricated from some
materials!

6 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

¢  Appropriate
sizing is necessary
for these parts of safety withstand
the imposed forces on them and
at an optimal cost.

¢  DESIGN!
7 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14
¢  Itis essential to study the
behavior of material from the
strength and deformation
point of view, as well as the
characterization of different
kinds of forces, which cause
different types of stresses in
the material.

¢  Thesubject, which deals with
the analytical deformation of
the strength, deformation
characteristics (stiffness) and
stability of different members,
is normally designated as the
Strength of Materials.

Historical Aspects

¢  Galileo, Leonardo-Da-Vinci, Eraly part

of 17th Centry.
¢  Leonard Euler (1707-1783)
developed theory of columns.
¢  French investigators like, to name a
few Cauchy, Nervier, Poisson,
Coulomb, St. Venant and several
others.

Specific Objectives
It is expected that one should be in a
position to understand
¢  The classification of different kinds of
forces that structural components are
subjected to.
¢  Effects of different forces on such
components and their solution
techniques.
¢  Different types of stresses and
deformations that develop due to forces
12 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14
Scope

The scope of this particular course

includes;
¢  Identification of different types of
forces that the structural components
will be subjected to.
¢  Systematic evaluation of the effects of
these forces on such structural
components.

13 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

Approach

¢  Mainly confined to material useful to

engineering applications.
¢  Laws of Newtonian mechanics that
govern that govern equilibrium of
forces.
¢  Essential to know the mechanical
characteristics of the materials with
which the member will be fabricated.

14 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

Units

SI units will be used in this

particular course.
l Meter (m) for length
l Kilogram (kg) for mass
l Second (s) for time

15 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

Derived Units

How to derive the units of the

following:
l Area ?
l Velocity ?
l Acceleration ?
l Force ?
16 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14
Body forces

The body forces act throughout

the body and associated with the
units of volume of the body,
l Gravitational force
l Inertia
force
l Magnetic force

17 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

Surface Forces

¢  The surface forces act on the surfaces

or area elements of a body

18 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

Internal Forces

19 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

Internal forces
¢  Free body diagrams

20 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

 Concept of Stress

¢  Direction of Stresses

¢  Shear Stresses

¢  Normal Stresses

l  Tensile
l  Compression

21 Strenght of Materials I - DAT Thursday, October 23, 14

¢  Stresses multiplied by the
respective areas on which they act
give us the forces and at section
the vector sum of these forces is
known as the stress resultant keep
a body in equilibrium.
