Document Summary

Mechanics of deformable bodies, a. k. a. strength of materials and mechanics of materials, deals with the behavior and properties of solid structures when loaded. To solve problems (e. g. find the stresses), you consider the following: geometry (length, width, thickness) - the shape of the body we are examining. 1: constitutive relation - how does the material respond, in terms of deformation, to the stress (i. e. hooke"s law, loading (external, body loads, thermal, etc, boundary conditions (built-in, pinned, springs, etc) Rules for how to solve a problem: make good sketches, with a labeled coordinate system, with labeled dimensions and forces. 2: show your thought process, follow all conventions, solve everything symbolically until the end, check answer does it make sense, check trends, check units, plug in to get answers. Where do forces come from: contact with another object, gravity, attractive of repulsive forces. Moments are vectors. (moment is another word for torque. : forces at a distance from a point.
