1mechanics of Deformable Bodies I PDF

This document summarizes key concepts in mechanics of deformable bodies including: 1. Mechanics deals with the behavior of bodies under forces and can be divided into statics, dynamics, and strength of materials. Strength of materials focuses on relating external loads to internal effects in deformable bodies. 2. Bodies are classified as rigid if they do not deform under forces, and non-rigid if they do deform. 3. Loads are classified by time (static, sustained, impact, repeated), distribution (concentrated, distributed), and location/application (centric, torsional, flexural, combined). 4. Reactions are support forces and internal forces develop within members due to loads

ES 13 MECHANICS OF DEFORMABLE BODIES I

DEFINITIONS
Mechanics - science describing the behavior of bodies under the
action of forces.
Three Fundamental Areas of Engineering Mechanics
1. Statics (ES 11)
2. Dynamics (ES 12)

Devoted primarily to the study of the


external effects of forces on rigid
bodies

3. Strength of Materials
/ Mechanics of Deformable
Bodies I (ES 13 and 14)

Deals with the relations


between externally applied
loads and their internal
effects on bodies

External Effects of a Force


Development of forces at surfaces of
contact between bodies
Change in state of motion of the body

Force

Friction

Internal Effects of a Force


Deformation
Development of internal stresses
Indention

Bulging

Rigid Body - a body that does not deform under the action of
forces.
Non-Rigid Body - a body that deforms under application of
loads.
Meeting Number 1

LOAD CLASSIFICATION
A. According to Time
1. Static Load - gradual application of loads for which
equilibrium is achieved at a very short time.
2. Sustained Load - load that is constant over a long period
of time
3. Impact Load - impulsive and rapid application of loads
4. Repeated Load - successive application and removal of
loads
B. According to Distribution
1. Concentrated Load - point load
2. Distributed Load - a load distributed along a line or a
surface.

C. According to Location and Method of Application


1. Centric Load - load that pass through the centroid of the
resisting section.
2. Torsional Load - load that twists a member
3. Flexural / Bending Load - load that is applied transversely
to the longitudinal axis of the member.
4. Combined Loading - any combination of the first 3 above.

to application of external loads.

CONCEPT of STRESS
Stress - intensity of load/force per unit area (P/A)
Units: MPa, kPa, Pa, psi, ksi
Normal Stress, = N/A - stresses acting perpendicular to the
surface of a cross section.
Shear Stress, = V/A - stresses acting parallel or tangent to the
surface of a cross section
