Mechanics of materialsis a branch of mechanics that studies the internal effects of stress
and strainin a solid body that is subjected to an external loading.
Stressis associated with the strength of the material from which the body is made, while
strainis a measure of the deformation of the body.

Surface Forces: Caused by the direct contactof one body with
the surface of other. The resultant force FR acts through the
centroid Cor geometric centre of this area.
A body force: is developed when one body exerts a
force on another body without direct physical contact
between the bodies such as the earths gravitation
whereas the force is called weightand acts through the
bodyscentre of the gravity.

Support reactionsare forces that develop at the supports or point of contact between bodies.
If the supportprevents translationin a given direction, then aforce must be developedon the
member in that direction. Likewise, if rotation is prevented, a couple moment must be
exerted on the member.

Equation of Equilibrium
In general, equilibrium of body requires:
1. Balance of forces to prevent the body from translating. = 0
2. Balance of moments to prevent the body from rotating. = 0
If anx,y,zcoordinate system is established with the origin at point O, then the equation
of equilibrium become:
= 0, = 0, = 0, = 0 , = 0, = 0
If the forces lie in the x-y plane (coplanar forces), then the conditions for equilibrium of
the body can be specified as:
= 0, = 0, = 0
The best way to account for all these forces is to draw the bodysfree-body diagram.

Internal Resultant Loadings
The criteria for determination of the internal loadingsis:
1. Pass an imaginary sectionthrough the region where the internal loadings
are to be determined (Fig. a).
2. Draw thefree body diagram of one of the parts as shown in Fig. b.
3. Use the equations of equilibrium to relate the external forces in the free
body diagram to the distributionsresultant internal forces and moments,
and

Four different types of internal resultant loadings can
then be defined as follows:
1. Normal Force, N: This force acts perpendicular to the
area. It is developed whenever the external loads tend to
push or pull on the two segments of the body.
2. Shear Force, V: This force lies in the plane of the area
and it is developed when the external loads tend to
cause the two segments of the body to slide over one an
other.
3. Torsional Moment or Torque, T: This effect is developedwhen the external loads tend to twist one segment of the
body with respect to the other about an axis
perpendicular to the area.
4. Bending Moment, M: It cause by the external loads that
tend to bend the body about an axis lying within the
plane of the area

Important Points in the Lecture
External forces can be applied as distributed, concentratedsurface loading and body
forces.
Linear distributed loadings produce resultant force having magnitudeequal to the area
under the load and having a locationthat passes through the centroidof this area.
A support produces aforceif itprevents translation, and it produces a couple moment
on the member if itprevents rotation.

= 0 and = 0 must be satisfied in order topreventa body from translatingand
from rotating.
When applying the equations of equilibrium, itsimportant to first draw thefree body
diagram.
Method of sections is used to determine the resultant normal force, shear force,
torsional moment, and bending moment.
