rigid bodies—that is, bodies for which the change in shape (deformation) can be neglected. In
contrast, mechanics of materials deals with the internal effects and deformations that are caused
by the applied loads.
The differences between rigid-body mechanics and mechanics of materials can be appreciated if
we consider the bar shown in Fig.1.
In mechanics of materials, the statics solution is extended to include an analysis of the forces
acting inside the bar to be certain that the bar will neither break nor deform excessively.
ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL FORCES; STRESS SAMPLE PROBLEM #2:

The equilibrium analysis of a rigid body is concerned primarily with the calculation of external For the truss shown, calculate the normal stresses in (1) member AC; and (2) member BD. The
reactions (forces that act external to a body) and internal reactions (forces that act at internal cross-sectional area of each member is 900 mm2.
connections). In mechanics of materials, we must extend this analysis to determine internal
forces—that is, forces that act on cross sections that are internal to the body itself. In addition,
we must investigate the manner in which these internal forces are distributed within the body.
Only after these computations have been made can the design engineer select the proper
dimensions for a member and select the material from which the member should be fabricated.
AXIAL STRESS: NORMAL STRESS

A normal stress is a stress that occurs when a member is loaded by
an axial force. The value of the normal force for any prismatic section
is simply the force divided by the cross sectional area.

metal sheet produced by a punch.

aluminum plate, determine the largest load P that can be
applied to the rod.
