INTRODUCTION TO STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
 Strength Of Materials is a branch of applied mechanics that deals with
the behaviour of solid bodies subjected to various types of forces and
moments.
 Mechanics of materials
 Mechanics of deformable bodies

 Principle Objectives
 Determine stress , strain , displacement
 Load at which material fails

 An understanding of mechanical behaviour is essential for the safe


design of all types of structures, whether airplanes and antennas,
buildings and bridges, machines and motors, or ships and spacecraft.
NORMAL STRESS AND STRAIN
 Fundamental concepts in strength of materials
 Stress
 Strain

 Few Basic Definitions


 Prismatic bar is a straight structural member having the same cross
section throughout its length
 Axial force is a load directed along the axis of the member,
resulting in either tension or compression in the bar.
 Cross section is a section taken perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis of the bar
NORMAL STRESS AND STRAIN: Prismatic bar in tension

(a) free-body diagram of a segment of the bar, (b) segment of the bar before
loading

(c) segment of the bar after loading (d) normal stresses in the bar

,
NORMAL STRESS
  Axial force P acting at the cross section is the resultant of continuously
distributed stresses acting over the entire cross section.
 This equation gives the intensity of stress uniformly distributed over
the cross section in an axially loaded, prismatic bar of arbitrary cross-
sectional shape.
 Axial force P acts through the centroid of the cross-sectional area
 Uniform stress condition exists throughout the length of the bar
except near the ends
 Stresses act in a direction perpendicular to the cut surface, they are called
normal stresses.
 Tensile stresses as positive and compressive stresses as negative.
 Its SI unit is pascal, Pa or N/m2
NORMAL STRAIN
  Theelongation of a segment is equal to its length divided by the total
length L and multiplied by the total elongation δ. Elongation per unit
length is called strain
 Bar in tension = tensile strain (elongation or stretching) Positive sign
 Bar in compression = compressive strain (shortening) Negative sign
 The strain is called a normal strain because it is associated with
normal stresses.
 Dimensionless quantity, but sometime mm/m, μm/m and sometimes
expressed as a percent (%), especially when the strains are large.
Review Questions
1. A force P of 70 N is applied by a rider to the front hand brake of a bicycle (P is the
resultant of an evenly distributed pressure). As the hand brake pivots at A, a tension T
develops in the 460-mm long brake cable (A = 1.075 mm 2 ) which elongates by 0.214
mm. Find normal stress and strain in the brake cable.
Review Questions
2. A car weighing 130 kN when fully loaded is pulled slowly up a steep inclined track by a
steel cable (see figure). The cable has an effective cross-sectional area of 490 mm 2, and
the angle of the incline is α=30°. Calculate the tensile stress in the cable
