Mechanics of materials
Mechanics of materials is a branch of mechanics that
studies the internal effects of stress and strain in a solid
body that is subjected to an external loading.

Stress
Stress is defined as the force acting on a unit area and expressed as the
ratio of the applied force divided by the resisting area

Stresses can be classified as normal stress, flexural stress, shear stress,

torsional and bearing stress etc.

Axial Stress

Axial stress is generated when the applied force is parallel

to the axis of member

It may be +ve or ve depending upon whether the applied

force is tensile or compressive

Tension (+ve)

Tie rods, columns, truss etc.

Compression (-ve)

Flexural Stress

Flexural stresses develop when applied force

perpendicular or transverse to the axis of the member

is

Shear Stress

Shear stress develops when applied force is parallel to

the resisting area

Shear stress tends to split of one segment from the

other

Torsional Stress

This type of stress is generated in a member when a twisting forces is

applied on the member.

Combined Stresses

When two or more type of stresses develop due to the

applied force/forces then the resultant stress is called
combined stress

Combined axial and flexural loading/stresses

Combined Stress due to Axial and Flexural Stresses

The combined stress is given as

The +ve or ve sign depends upon the position of the point where
the combined stress is to be calculated

Example 1
A cantilever beam has the profile shown in figure to provide sufficient
clearances for large pulleys mounted on the line shaft it supports. The
reaction of the line shaft is a load P=25KN determine the resultant
stresses at point A and B at the support.

Example 2
A force of 150 lb is applied to the edge of the
member shown in Fig. Neglect the weight of the
member and determine the state of stress at
points B and C.

Example 3
The rectangular block of negligible weight
in Fig. is subjected to a vertical force of 40
kN, which is applied to its corner.
Determine the largest normal stress acting
on a section through ABCD.

Example 4
To avoid interference, a link in a machine is designed so
that its cross sectional area is reduced to one half at
section A-B as shown in figure. If the thickness of the
link is 50 mm, compute the maximum force P that can
be applied if the maximum normal stress on section A-B
is limited to 80 MPa.
