INTRODUCTION

Chapter 1. Design of products, systems, and structures demands the engineer to considera broad range of issues. The issues addressed by Mechanics of Materials are excessivedeformation and material failure. A few general principles enable us to design againstexcessive deformation and failure for a wide range of part geometries, materials, andloadings. We consider the body to be composed of elements, we study commondeformation modes, and we combine contributions of each deformation mode, as needed,to assess deformation and failure.

Preface

To the StudentThis book introduces you to an exciting subject of immense application: how the forcesacting on a material relate to its deformation and failure. The range of technologies thatrely on insights from Mechanics of Materials is vast. They span applications that have seencontinual innovation and refinement over many years, such as aerospace structures andpropulsion, bridge design, automotive technologies, and prosthetic devices. And, Mechan-ics of Materials underlies applications that were scarcely imaginable a few years ago:atomic force microscopes, micro-scale robotics, wireless sensors for structural monitoring,and engineered biological tissues. Mechanics of Materials can be satisfying in anothermore personal way. It helps us make sense of countless interactions that we have witheveryday artifacts: why some are too flimsy, too rigid, or prone to break at certain points.

It is likely you are studying this subject because it is required for your major. But you mayhave multiple goals: to pass the course or get a good grade, to be intellectually engaged andexercise your mind and curiosity, and to learn something that you can use in later coursesor in life outside your courses. Every one of those goals points you in the same direction—to genuinely learn the subject. That means gaining a physical and intuitive feel for its ideas,seeing the big picture, and fitting the ideas together. By just thumbing through this book, youwill know it is different from most books you have seen. Let me tell you how thearrangement of this book might help you learn.

We can only communicate the ideas of Mechanics of Materials with a combination ofwords, diagrams, and equations. The equation might be necessary to get a quantitativeanswer or to judge a trend; for example, should a part be thicker or thinner, longer or shorter.But, in real life you are rarely handed the right equations. Someone explains a situation toyou with words and diagrams, and you need to make sense of it. Only after you have thoughtabout the words and the diagrams, might you see an equation as useful. For this reason,I have tried to write a book in which words, diagrams, and equations are in balance. Inaddition, I have laid out this book so the words, diagrams, and equations are near each otheron the page to better help you solidify the ideas.

You might also notice a high degree of organization. Each chapter is a series of two-pagespreads or sections, with each section dedicated to developing one idea or concept. Further,each two-page spread consists of subsections that break the idea into bite-size pieces. Notonly do we break this subject apart for you, we help you put it back together. The ChapterOpener presents the major ideas of the chapter in diagrams and words. At the end of eachchapter, we summarize its sections, including the major equations, concepts, and key terms.Finally, Chapters 2 through 8 are grouped into 3 units that capture the overall structure ofthe subject.

You might also notice many everyday objects depicted on the pages. Familiar, everydayobjects can often illustrate the ideas of Mechanics of Materials. To genuinely learn thissubject, the ideas must ultimately make sense to you. But you are more likely to make senseof new ideas if you see them first in a familiar context. This book tries to take situations thatyou can already picture, and reframe them in more general, powerful ways. I hope you cometo rely on those general ideas and wield them effectively as you explore new applicationsunimagined today.

To the InstructorI wrote this book because I love to help other people understand mechanics. I have taughtthis subject for many years, and I still get excited when I come upon a new way of explain-ing or illustrating some concept. Often, I bring an object into class—a bungee cord, a poolnoodle, a ruler—and I deform it, sometimes with students’ help. I point to the deformation,which they can see, and I ask the student helpers what they feel. With this book, I hope tocapture some of that classroom experience.

Let me share some of the pedagogic philosophy that informs this book. I think mostinstructors want students:

1. to understand the concepts in some intuitive way;2. to grasp the big picture, that is, to see the forest as well as the individual trees;3. to use the subject to solve problems.

First, to an intuitive understanding of concepts, there are few more important goals thanhelping students attach physical meaning to the variables and symbols we use, and to theirrelations with each other. I rarely start with the general case. Instead, I start with a simplesituation that exemplifies the idea. This helps to anchor the idea in each students’ world.Then, we build a more general mathematical representation, as we need it. Students canpicture deformation far better than they can picture forces. So, for most topics, we beginwith the deformation, to anchor the topic in reality for the students, and next we deal withthe associated forces.

To help students grasp the subject’s larger, coherent structure, we have identified the corequestion that it answers: will a body deform too much or fail (Chapter 1)? And, we havegrouped the remaining chapters into three units that delineate how this question is answered.First, we choose to view a body that deforms and may fail as composed of many small,identical pieces or elements (Chapter 2). This step is necessary to address failure, whichusually occurs locally, and to separate out the respective contributions of the body’s shapeand material to the force-deformation relations. Second, we identify three common modesof deformation: stretching, twisting, and bending, which appear repeatedly in engineeringand nature (Chapters 3–5). Each mode deserves to be studied independently, considering thedeformations and forces overall and within each element. Third, to address deformation andfailure in more general situations, we recognize the presence of these common deformationmodes, and combine their contributions appropriately (Chapters 6–8). To reinforce the bigpicture set forth in Chapter 1, the conceptual overview at the start of each chapter featuresa map that locates the chapter in the overall structure of the subject.

For good reason, the problems in a textbook are very important to most instructors. Thisbook contains problems that illustrate ideas, concepts, and procedures, as well as problemsthat demonstrate applications to real situations. Studying Mechanics of Materials can alsooffer students a chance to learn about interesting applications. To this end, I have devised anumber of problems that highlight selected focused application areas: bicycles, cable-stayedbridges, drilling of wells, exercise equipment, bone fracture fixation, and wind turbines.Focused Application Problems are sprinkled throughout the chapters. The diagram for eachsuch problem references Appendix A, in which that application is described at greaterlength. An interested student can see how the situation depicted in a single problem fits intothe overall application. For different assignments, an instructor can select problems from thesame focused application area or problems from a variety of applications.

I hope this book serves your efforts to motivate and teach your students.
