Strength of Materials

This document summarizes a lecture on types of stresses in mechanical engineering. It defines stress as the internal resistance to external loading. The main types of stresses discussed are normal (axial) stress, shear stress, torsional shear stress, and bending stress. Normal stress is defined as the ratio of external force to cross-sectional area. An example problem calculates the normal stress in a bar with a given diameter and tensile load. Homework is assigned to calculate the normal stress in a bar under compressive load.
