Mechanics of Materials: Revision of Pre-Requisites

The document discusses the basics of mechanics of materials and equilibrium concepts. It covers topics like mechanics, equilibrium, forces, free body diagrams, and their applications. Mechanics of materials is the study of internal effects of forces on deformable bodies. Equilibrium exists when the sum of forces and moments on a body are zero. Free body diagrams are used to model the isolation of a system and show the forces acting on it.

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS Revision of Pre-requisites

Mechanics
• Mechanical interaction between two bodies.

• Study of effects of forces on objects.

• Mechanics is the foundation of most engineering sciences and is


an indispensable prerequisite to their study.

Equilibrium
In many applications of
mechanics, the sum of the forces
acting on a body is zero, and a
state of equilibrium exists.

F = 0 M = 0

• A body is in equilibrium if
all forces and moments
applied to it are in balance.

• Or if the resultant of all


forces and moments acting
on the body is zero.

Force
• Force is the action of one body on another body. It is a vector quantity.

Principle of Transmissibility

A force may be applied at any point on its given line of


action without altering the resultant effects of the force
external to the rigid body on which it acts.

Force–Couple Systems
A force can be replaced by an equal parallel force and a couple in the same plane.
This combination of a force and a couple is called Force-Couple System.

Free Body Diagram


System Isolation and the Free Body Diagram
• A mechanical system is defined as a body or group of bodies which can be
conceptually isolated from all other bodies.

• A diagrammatic representation of an isolated system, forces and reaction


forces on the system is called Free Body Diagram.
