What is Mechanics?
• Mechanics is the branch of science which describes
and predicts the conditions of rest or motion of
bodies under the action of forces.
• Categories of Mechanics:
- Rigid bodies
- Statics
- Dynamics
- Deformable bodies
- Fluids

What is Mechanics of Materials ?
• Mechanics of Materials is a branch of Mechanics that deals with the
internal effect (stress and strain) in a body subjected to an external force.
• Stress is associated with strength of the material of which the body is
made while strain is associated with the deformation produced in a body.
Objective of Mechanics of Materials
• Suitability of a structure or machine may depend on the deformations in
the structure as well as the stresses induced under loading. Statics
analyses alone are not sufficient.
• Considering structures as deformable allows determination of member
forces and reactions which are statically indeterminate.
• Determination of the stress distribution within a member also requires
consideration of deformations in the member.
• Stress and strain are most important concepts for a comprehension of
the mechanics of solids. They permit the mechanical behavior of load-
carrying components to be described in terms fundamental to the
engineer.
• The main objective of the study of the Mechanics of Materials is to
provide the future Engineer with the means of analyzing and designing
various machines and load bearing structures.
Objective of Mechanics of Materials
• Both the analysis and design of a given structure involve the
determination of stresses and deformations.
• Therefore, it is necessary to study the subject of Mechanics of Materials
to learn the same.
Applications of Mechanics of Materials
Mechanics of Materials in Engineering Design
Normal Forces
• Forces are vector quantities, thus having direction and magnitude.
They have special names (see Figure 1) depending upon their
relationship to a reference plane:
a) Compressive force is a normal force that acts normal to the plane
and directed toward the plane;
b) Tensile force is a normal force that acts normal to the plane and
directed away from the plan
1- 15
Shear Force
• Shear forces act parallel to the plane as shown in Figure 2.
• Pair of oppositely directed forces produce twisting effect called
moment.
Note: Total three components of stress exist for section a-a: one normal stress
component and two shear stress components
