MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
As an Engineer, two questions you want to answer
whenever you design something.
1. Is the material strong enough?
2. Is the material stiff enough?
We will learn to answer these questions in this
course
Main objective of course is to provide the
engineering methods of analyzing various machines
and structures
Design and analysis of a given structure involve the
determination of stresses and deformation

Question:
In Statics, what useful means did you use to
show all the forces or moments?

Answer:
Free-body diagrams (FBD) are used to show
all the forces and moments acting at a joint or
on a member.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Application of Statics to Mechanics of Solids

In Statics, you determined external loadings

acting on a body.
Knowing the external loads does not tell us
if the member can safely carry the loads.
For Mechanics of Solids, we will determine
internal forces which are the loadings acting
within a body.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Determining Internal Force (IF)

Cut a convenient section though the body

where the IF are to be determined.
Sketch free-body diagram showing all the
external loads and the IF acting both normal
and parallel to the section. Directions of IF
are assumed.
Compute the magnitudes and the directions
of the IF.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Magnitudes and Directions of IFs

Question:
How can you determine the magnitudes and
directions of the internal forces?

Answer:
Use equilibrium equations to compute the
resultant internal forces.
If the resultant is negative, the assumed
direction is incorrect.

Question:
Is it sufficient to determine the magnitudes and
directions of the internal forces acting on a
section?

Answer:
It is not sufficient. You need to know the
intensity of the resulting forces associated with
internal forces.

GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Definition of Mechanics of Solids
Study of the interactions between bodies and the forces
acting on them.

Description of Mechanics of Solids

Derive relationships between applied loads and internal
load intensities and deformations
Study the stresses and deformations that result when
mechanical components and structures are loaded by
external forces.
Study failure mechanisms, material behavior, complex
structure and advanced topics.
GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
Stress
Stress is the intensity of internal forces. It can also be
defined as force per unit area , or intensity of the force
distributed over a given section
