Engineering Structures

and Materials
Mechanics of materials is a branch of applied mechanics
that deals with the behavior of solid bodies subjected to
various types of loading
A thorough understanding of mechanical behavior is
essential for the safe design of all structures
Mechanics of materials is a basic subject in many

The historical development of mechanics of materials is a
fascinating blend of both theory and experiment
Leonardo da Vinci (14521519)
Galileo Galilei (15641642)
performed experiments to
determine the strength of wires,
bars, and beams

Leonhard Euler (17071783)
Developed the mathematical theory of columns and
calculated the theoretical critical load of a column in 1744,
long before any experimental evidence existed to show
the significance of his results.
Engineering Structures
and Materials
Numerical problems require that you work with specific
units of measurements.
The two accepted standards of measurement are the
International System of Units (SI) and the U.S.
Customary System (USCS).
As you know significant digits are very important in
engineering.
In our work in this section, three significant digits
provides enough accuracy.

Stress and Strain
The fundamental concepts of
stress and strain
can be illustrated by considering a prismatic bar that is
loaded by axial forces P at the ends
A prismatic bar is a straight structural member having
constant cross section throughout its length
In this illustration, the axial forces produce a uniform
stretching of the bar; hence, the bar is said to be in
tension

The tensile load P acts at the bottom end of the bar
At the top of the bar are forces representing the action of

The intensity of force (that is, the force per unit area) is
called the

o =
STRESS
(commonly denoted by the Greek letter o).
Stress
When the bar is stretched by the force P,
the resulting stresses are tensile stresses
If the force P cause the bar to be
compressed, we obtain compressive
stresses
P A o =
P
The axial force is equal to the intensity s times the cross
sectional area A of the bar
Stress
The stress acting perpendicular to the cut
surface, it is referred to as a normal stress
The equation o = P/A will give the average
normal stress

Sign convention for normal stresses is:

Because the normal stress s is obtained by dividing the
axial force by the crosssectional area, it has units of force
per unit of area

In SI units:
Force is expressed in newtons (N) and area in square
meters (m

). A N/m

is a pascals (Pa).
In USCS units:
Stress is customarily expressed in pounds per square inch

Normal Strain
If the bar is in tension, the strain is called a
tensile strain
If the bar is in compression, the strain is called a
compressive strain
Tensile strain is taken as positive (+), and compressive
strain as negative (-).
Normal Strain
The strain c is called a normal strain because it is
associated with normal stresses.
Because normal strain c is the ratio of two lengths, it is a
dimensionless quantity; that is, it has no units.
Example
Consider a steel bar having length L of 2.0 m. When
loaded in tension, the bar might elongate by an amount
o equal to 1.4 mm.

StressStrain Diagrams
The mechanical properties of materials are determined by
tests performed on small specimens of the material
In order that test results
may be compared easily,
the dimensions of test
specimens and the
methods of applying loads
have been standardized
Standards organizations: American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American
Standards Association (ASA) and the
National Bureau of Standards (NBS)
Tension Test
The axial stress o in the test specimen is calculated by
dividing the load P by the crosssectional area A
Strain in the bar is found from the measured elongation o
between the gage marks by dividing o by the
gage length L
Developing a StressStrain Diagram
After performing a tension or compression test and
determining the stress and strain at various magnitudes of
the load, we can plot a diagram of stress versus strain
Stressstrain diagrams were originated by:
Jacob Bernoulli (16541705) and J. V. Poncelet (1788
1867)

Linear Elasticity
When a material returns to its original dimensions after
unloading, it is called elastic
When a material behaves elastically and also exhibits a
linear relationship between stress and strain, it is said to be
linearly elastic.
Linear Elasticity
The linear relationship between stress and strain for a bar
in simple tension or compression can be expressed by the
equation:
where E is a constant known as the
modulus of elasticity
(units are either psi or Pa)
E o c =
Hookes Law
The equation o = E c commonly known as Hookes law
For the famous English scientist
Robert Hooke (16351703).
Hooke was the first person to investigate
the elastic properties of materials, and he
tested such diverse materials as metal,
wood, stone, bones, and sinews.
He measured the stretching of long wires
supporting weights and observed that the
elongations always bear the same
proportions one to the other that the
weights do that make them
CIVL 1101 Introduction to Mechanics of Materials 8/11
Hookes Law
The modulus of elasticity E has relatively large values for
materials that are very stiff, such as structural metals
Steel has a modulus of 30,000 ksi or 200 GPa
Aluminum is approximately 10,600ksi or 70 GPa
Wood is 1,600 ksi or 11 Gpa
The modulus of elasticity is often called
Youugs modulus, after another English
scientist, Thomas Young (17731829)
Linear Elasticity
If the material in the bar is considered linear-elastic and the tensile
stress is 25,000 psi and the tensile strain is 0.005, what is the modulus
of elasticity of the material?

Compression Test
Compression tests of metals are customarily made on
small specimens in the shape of cubes or circular
cylinders.
The standard ASTM concrete test specimen
is 6 in. in diameter, 12 in. long, and 28 days
old (the age of concrete is important
because concrete gains strength as it
cures)
Concrete is tested in compression on every
important construction project to ensure that
the required strengths have been obtained.
Compression Test
Stressstrain diagrams for compression have different
shapes from those for tension.
Ductile metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper have
proportional limits in compression very close to those in
tension.
