Mechanics of Materials
Objectives:
-
Solve Problems in a structured systematic manner;

Study the behavior of bodies that are considered
deformable under different loading conditions; &
Analyze and design various machines / systems

Calculating the Resultant Graphically:
Force Polygon Method
Note: R substitutes all its

component forces.
Draw forces subsequently. Each is drawn

parallel to its line of action and length equal
to value of force. Accordingly, resultant is an
arrow that closes the polygon (value &
direction measured graphically).
Calculating the Resultant Analytically: The X and Y components of all forces are summed
X = (x components of all forces); Y = (y components of all forces);
Then,
b)
R = SQRT (X + Y );
tan = Y / X
Equilibrium of a system subjected to Forces

(i.e., Resultant of all forces on the system = 0)
Concurrent
Forces
R (resultant) = 0
Two Equilibrium Conditions:
Non-Concurrent
Forces
Three Equilibrium Conditions:
1. X+ components of all forces = 0

2. + Y components of all forces = 0
1. X components of all forces = 0

+
2. + Y components of all forces = 0
3. M (moment at any point) = 0
+
Note: It is possible to put a system in equilibrium by calculating the Resultant of all forces acting on it then
applying an opposite and equal force to that resultant.

Stability & Determinacy of Structures

-
A stable structure can resist a general force immediately at the moment of applying the force.
Unstable
Stable
Does not return to original shape if load is released
A statically determinate structure is when the reactions can be determined using equilibrium equations.
1. Beams:
if r < c + 3
Unstable
r = unknown support reactions.
if r = c + 3
Statically determinate
c = additional conditions
if r > c + 3
Statically Indeterminate
r = 3 (two at hinge + one at roller)
c = 2 (two intermediate hinges), then,
r < c + 3 Unstable
r = 5 (four at hinges + one at roller)

c = 2 (two intermediate hinges), then,
r = c + 3 Stable & Statically Determinate
r = _______
c = _______
r = _______, then____________________
r = 4 (three at fixed end + one at roller)
c = 0, then
r > c + 3 Stable & Statically Indeterminate
2. Frames:
j = No. of joints
m = No. of membrs
r = unknown support reactions
c = special conditions
if 3m + r < 3j + c
if 3m + r = 3j + c
if 3m + r > 3j + c
j = __; m = __; c = __; r = __

Then,
3m + r =___ , 3j + 2 =___, or
________________________
j = 3; m = 2; c = 0; r = 3
Then,
Stable & Statically determinate
3. Trusses:
j = No. of joints
m = No. of membrs
r = unknown support reactions
if m + r < 2j
if m + r = 2j
if m + r > 2j
j = __; m = __; r = __
Then,
m + r = ___, 2j = ___, or

5. Transformation of Stresses
- Member under tension only (P) in one direction, i.e., a normal stress. But, lets consider an inclined plane.
= (P Cos ) / (A / Cos ) or
Very important conclusions:
- Under tension only, shear is automatically present at various planes.
- The plane of maximum shear is when Sin 2 = max or when = 45.
- Maximum shear = x /2 = P / 2A
- It is important to study stress transformation and shear failure.

6. Transformation of Plain Strain

- A structure should be designed so that its material and cross sectional dimensions can resist the maximum
normal and shear stresses imposed on it. Equally important also that the structure does not deform much
under the load, i.e., the ability to resist strains is crucial to the serviceability of structures.
- Normal Strain (due to axial load + bending moment) and Shear Strain (due to transverse shear + torsion).

Is this the maximum strain? If not, then
What is the value of maximum normal strain and the plane in which it exists? and
What is the value of maximum shear strain and the plane in which it exists?

Strain Measurements Using Strain Rosettes:

- 45o strain rosette versus 60o strain rosette
- Cemented on surface
- Its electrical resistance changes when wires are stretched
or compressed with the material being studied
- Resistance changes are measured and interpreted
as changes in deformation
Readings: a, b, c
- Three values to get the state of strain at the point
At:
a=0, b=45, c=90
- Automated condition assessment of bridges
Unknowns: x, y, xy

a = 8 x 10-4 = x cos2 90 + y Sin2 90 + xy cos 90 . Sin 90

b = -6 x 10-4 = x cos2 135 + y Sin2 135 + xy cos 135 . Sin 135

materials Poissons ratio ().

- Assumptions: (1) has not correlation with x and y; (2) x and y have no relation with xy ; (3) principal strains
occur in directions parallel to principal stresses.
-General Equations:
E.x = x - (y + z);
G. xy = xy
E.y = y - (x + z);
G. yz = yz
E.z = z - (x + y);
G. zx = zx
- Relationship between E, , G:
Lets consider the case of pure torsion, i.e., x = 0 and

Principal stresses are: 1 = xy ;

E.1 = E. xy/2 = xy - (- xy) =
Then
xy . (1 + ) = G. xy . (1 + )
G = E / 2 (1 + )

a) Determine the Principal strains at point A and their directions.

b) If the bracket is made of steel for which E = 200 GPa and = 0.3,
determine the Principal stresses at point A.
Solution:

and finally convert these principal strains into principal stresses.

Example: A steel shaft (45 mm in diameter) is exposed to a tensile yield strength = yield = 250 MPa.
Determine P at which yield occurs using Von Mises and Tresca critera.
Solution
1) Principal Stresses
T = 1.7 KN.m
x = P / A = P / (0.0225)2
xy = T.c / J = 1.7 x (0.0225) / (0.0225)4 = 95.01
Mohr's circle:
P?
95.01
Center = x / 2
R = [(x/2) 2 + xy2]
1 = x / 2 + R; 2 = x / 2 - R
2) Using Von Mises
12 + 12 + 22 = yield 2
(x / 2 + R)2 + (x / 2 + R) (x / 2 - R) + (x / 2 - R)2 = yield2
(x/2)2 + 3 R2 = yield2 ,
substituting with R,
x2 + 3 xy2
substituting with x & xy,
= yield 2 ,
[P / (0.0225)2] 2 + 3 x (95.01) 2 = yield 2 = 2502

then, P = 299.3 KN
3) Using TRESCA
1 and 2 have opposite signs, then
max (3-D) = |1 - 2 | / 2 , which reaches failure of yield = yield / 2
|(x/2 + R) - (x/2 - R)| / 2 = yield / 2
R = yield / 2
then,
(x/2)2 + xy2 = ( yield / 2) 2 ,
substituting with R and squaring both sides,

substituting with x & xy,
[P /2 (0.0225)2] 2 + (95.01) 2 = 1252

then, P = 258.4 KN
Notice the force P under TRESCA (focuses on Shear) is smaller than Von Mises

Deflection of Beams and Shafts

Beams and shafts deflect under load. For serviceability, we need to make sure deflection is within allowable
values. Also, the shape of the beam under the load (elastic curve) needs to be studied.
Terminology:
-
EI = Flexture rigidity or Bending Stiffness

R = Radius of Curvature
1/R = Curvature
Hookes Law: 1/R = M / EI

The elastic curve:

Rd = ds dx

1/R = d/dx

Notes:

Integration of (M/EI) determines the slope of the elastic curve:
Double integration of M/EI determines the deflection:
Recall relationships between load, shear, and bending moment. Now, we can expand it to:
EI d2/dx2 = M(x);
EI d3/dx3 = V(x);
EI d4/dx4 = -W(x)
Determining the integration constants C1 and C2:

Substituting at points of known

7. Put slope = 0 at maximum deflection

Using Equ. (4), we get C4

get x = 0.577L

Limitations: Applies to single load only. Also, in case 2, only solpe is calculated not deflection.
Also, how to get deflection at a point at which no direct load is applied.

Principle of Virtual Work

Conservation of Virtual Work
?
Work-Energy method is not able to determine

the deflection at a point at which no direct load exists.
Solution: Put a virtual load of 1.0 at the desired point of a virtual system. Then apply the principal of

Put an external load at the position of required deflection: external load (Q) either horizontal or
vertical to get horizontal or vertical deflection; or an external moment to get slope.
