• Why Solid Mechanics ?
• Importance/Scope
• Rigid Body – Deformable body
• Forces acting on solid body
• Stress – Types
• Strain - Types
TENSILE STRESS
COMPRESSIVE STRESS
Shear Stress
• Shear stress induced in a body when it is
subjected to two equal and opposite forces that
acts tangential to the area.

• The strain produced due to the shear stress is
called shear strain.
• The shear stress is denoted by the symbol τ (tau).
It is a Greek letter.
• It is defined as ratio of shear resistance to the
shear area.
• The formula for the shear stress is given below.

• Malleability: Malleability is a property of a
material which permits the material to be
extended in all directions without rapture. A
malleable material possesses a high degree of
plasticity, but not necessarily great strength.
• Toughness: Toughness is the property of a
material which enables it to absorb energy
without fracture
• Hardness: Hardness is the ability of a material
to resist indentation or surface abrasion. The
Brinell hardness test is used to check the
hardness.

Hooke's Law & Elastic Moduli
• Hooke's Law states that “when a material is
loaded within elastic limit, the stress is
proportional to the strain produced by the stress” .
• This means the ratio of the stress to the
corresponding strain is a constant within the
elastic limit.
• This constant is known as Modulus of Elasticity
or Modulus of Rigidity or Young's Modulus.
16/12/2023 11
Young's Modulus or
Modulus of Elasticity
• The ratio of tensile stress or compressive stress
to the corresponding strain is a constant.
• This ratio is known as Young's Modulus of
elasticity and is denoted as E (Unit : N/m2)
(or)
16/12/2023 12
Modulus of Rigidity or Shear Modulus
• The ratio of shear stress to the corresponding
shear strain within the elastic limit is known as
modulus of rigidity. This is denoted by C or G
or N. (Unit : N/m2)
C =

Factor of Safety
• It is defined as the ratio of ultimate tensile
stress to the working stress (permissible
stress).
Mathematically,
Factor of Safety =
No Unit

Find the minimum diameter of steel wire, which
is used to rise a load of 4000N, if the stress is not
to exceed 95 MN/m2 in the rod.
Given : Load = P = 4000N
