Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 All branches of Engineering deal with physical
systems, the component parts of which are to
be assigned definite physical sizes, fabricated
from some materials.

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Appropriate sizing is necessary for these part
to safely withstand the imposed forces on
them and at optimal cost. (Design)

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 It is essential to study the behavior of the
material from strength and deformation point
of view as well as characteristics of different
kind of forces, which cause different type of
stresses in the material.

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Definition
The subject that deals with the analytical
determination of strength , deformation
characteristics(Stiffness) and stability of
different members is designated as Strength
of Materials

 Units
SI units
The basic units in this system are:
Metre(m) for length
Kilogram(Kg) for mass; and
Second (s) for time

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Derived Units
Area (m2)
Velocity (m/s)
Acceleration (m/s2)
Force (kg. m/s2 Newton. N)
Stress (Force/Unit Area)
P/A = N/m2 Pa (Pascal)
Kpa=103 Pa Mpa =106 pa
1N/mm2 106 N/m2 (106 Pa)

 Forces
Body Force
The body force act throughout the body and
associated with the units of volume of body.
(Distributed over the volume of system but
when we analyze we say it acts through the
center of gravity)
Gravitational force
Inertial force
Magnetic force

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Surface Force
The surface force act on the surface or area
elements of the body.(Could be concentrated
force or distributed force)
Surface traction (act on boundary)

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Internal Force
To know internal force we must know the
concept of freebody diagram
Free body diagram can be of section or
complete member
Idealized line diagram
Applied forces
Reaction at section

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Stress
Stress is the expression of force applied to a unit
area of surface. It is measured in psi (English
unit) or in MPa (SI unit).

stress = force / area

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Simple Stresses
There are three types of simple stress namely;
normal stress, shearing stress, and bearing
stress.

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

 Normal Stress
The resisting area is perpendicular to the applied force,
thus normal. There are two types of normal stresses;
tensile stress and
compressive stress.
Tensile stress applied to bar tends the bar to elongate while
compressive stress tend to shorten the bar.
=P/A
where
P is the applied normal load
A is the area

Engr.Muhammad Abbas Qurshi

Dividing the load by area does not give the
stress at all points in the cross-sectional area;
it merely determines the average stress.
A more precise definition of Stress is obtained
by dividing the differential load by the
differential area over which it acts:
= dP/dA
