Mechanics of Materials
Study relationship between external loads applied to a deformable body and the intensity of internal forces acting within the body. Computation of the deformation of bodies due to external loading. Material behavior
Course Outcomes 1
Solve axially loaded members for stresses and deflections in statically determinate or indeterminate cases including thermal stresses. Solve torsionally loaded shafts for stresses and deflections in statically determinate or indeterminate cases. Solve beams under bending for stresses. Solve transversely loaded beams for internal shear forces and bending moments. Develop shear and moment diagrams.
Course Outcomes 2
Solve beam deflection problems using integration, and superposition. Solve for the stresses in beams with combined axial and transverse loads. Solve for stresses in general cases of combined loading and check for yielding using simple yield criteria. Solve for transformed stresses, principal stresses and construct and interpret Mohr's circle for stresses. Solve axially loaded slender beams for buckling under a variety of boundary conditions.
Pin connections allow rotation. Reactions at pins are forces and NOT MOMENTS.

Equilibrium
Vectors: F = 0 M = 0
Coplanar force systems: Fx = 0 Fy = 0 Mo = 0 Draw a FBD to account for ALL loads acting on the body.

Internal Reactions
Internal reactions are necessary to hold body together under loading. Method of sections make a cut through body to find internal reactions at the point of the cut.
Components of Resultant
Components are found perpendicular & parallel to the section plane. Internal reactions are used to determine stresses.
Example: Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on the cross sections located through points D and E of the frame. (1-114)
