    Richard Tseng
    This document provides formulas and definitions for statics and strength of materials. Some key points include: - Free body diagrams show all external forces and torques acting on a system. Forces always come in equal and opposite action-reaction pairs. - For equilibrium, the sum of all forces and sum of all torques about any point must equal zero. - Stress is force per unit area. Strain is the deformation caused by stress. Hooke's law relates stress and strain linearly. - Common stress analyses include tension, torsion, bending, pressure vessels, and buckling. - Mohr's circle graphs the state of stress at a point on a surface.

    Statics and Strength of Materials Formula Sheet

    12/12/94 A. Ruina
    Not given here are the conditions under which the formulae are accurate or useful.
    Basic Statics
    Free Body Diagram
    The FBD is a picture of any system for which you would like to apply mechanics equations and
    of all the external forces and torques which act on the system.
    Action & Reaction
    If A feels force F FFFF FFFFF and couple M MMMM MMMMM from B.
    then B feels force F FFFF FFFFF and couple M MMMM MMMMM from A.
    (With F FFFF FFFFF and F FFFF FFFFF acting on the same line of action.)
    Force and Moment Balance
    These equations apply to every FBD in equilibrium:
    Force Balance
    ..

    All external
    forces
    F FFFF FFFFF = 0 0000 00000
    Moment Balance about pt C
    ..

    All external
    torques
    M MMMM MMMMM
    /C
    = 0 0000 00000
    The torque M MMMM MMMMM
    /C
    of a force depends on the reference point C. But, for a body in
    equilibrium, and for any point C, the sum of all the torques relative to point C must
    add to zero ).
    Dotting the force balance equation with a unit vector gives a scalar equation,
    e.g. {

    F FFFF FFFFF} i iiii iiiii = 0

    Fx = 0.
    Dotting the moment balance equation with a unit vector gives a scalar equation,
    e.g. {

    M MMMM MMMMM
    /C
    } = 0 net moment about axis in direction through C = 0.
    Some Statics Facts and Denitions
    The moment of a force is unchanged if the force is slid along its line of action.
    For many purposes the words moment, torque, and couple have the same meaning.
    Two-force body. If a body in equilibrium has only two forces acting on it then the
    two forces must be equal and opposite and have a common line of action.
    Three-force body. If a body in equilibrium has only three forces acting on it then the
    three forces must be coplanar and have lines of action that intersect at one point.
    truss: A collection of weightless two-force bodies connected with hinges (2D) or ball
    and socket joints (3D).
    Method of joints. Draw free body diagrams of each of the joints in a truss.
    Method of sections. Draw free body diagrams of various regions of a truss. Try to
    make the FBD cuts for the sections go through only three bars with unknown forces
    (2D).
    Caution: Machine and frame components are often not two-force bodies.

    Miscellaneous
    Power in a shaft: P = T.
    Saint Venants Principle: Far from the region of loading, the stresses in a structure
    would only change slightly if a load system were replaced with any other load system
    having the same net force and moment.
