Mechanics of Materials Area of mechanics that studies the relationships between external loads applied to a deformable body and the intensity of internal forces within a body An understanding of material behavior will play an important role in developing the necessary equations used in mechanics of materials.

Internal Forces

Method of Sections

Internal Forces in 2-D

Determine the internal forces (normal force, shear force and bending moment) on a section passing through the beam at point C.

Internal Forces in 3-D

Internal Forces in 3-D Find the internal forces at the base

Mass = 650 kg and Wind Load = 900 N/m2

Internal Forces at a point – method of Sections Internal forces at all points along length Internal forces – a function of distance along length of beam.

Shear and Moment Diagrams For beams we can calculate the shear and moment diagrams as a function of position along the beam. Internal normal force will not be considered in that most loadings are vertical on a beam and we are primarily concerned about shear and bending failures.

Sign Convention Shear ~ positive direction is denoted by an internal force that causes a clockwise rotation on which it acts. Moment ~ positive direction is denoted by an internal moment that causes a compression or pushing on the upper part of the member

Relations between Distributed Load, Shear, and Moment. Slope of the Shear Diagram = Negative of distributed load intensity Slope of the bending moment diagram = Shear

Graph the internal forces shear force and bending moment along the axis of the beam.
