INTRODUCTION
TO
MECHANICS OF
DEFORMED BODIES
LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Discuss the historical development of Mechanics of
Deformable bodies
• Discuss the concept of Mechanics of Deformable
bodies
• Explains the difference between rigid body and
Deformable body.
• Recall the concept and equations of equilibrium
• Solve resultant internal loadings
Mechanics
EXTERNAL EFFECTS
Statics of forces on Rigid
Bodies.
Dynamics
Deformed Bodies
- Deals with the relations between externally
applied loads and their internal effects on bodies
Rigid Body - a body that does not deform under the action of forces.
Non-Rigid Body - a body that deforms under application of loads.
MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
Isa branch of mechanics that studies the internal
effects of stress and strain in a solid body that is
subjected to an external loading. STRESS is
associated with the strength of the material from
which the body is made, while STRAIN is a
measure of the deformation of the body.
EQUILIBRIUM OF A DEFORMABLE BODY
External Loads – A body is subjected to only two types of
external loads; namely, surface force or body force.
