Rigid Bod Mechanics (also fluid mechanics, soil mechanics etc) - forces acting on bodies Statics - bodies at rest or moving with uniform velocit Dnamics - bodies accelerating Strength of materials - deformation of bodies under forces Structural Mechanics - focus on behavior of structures under loads Rigid bod is a bod that ideall does not deform under a force ll material deforms When deformations are small assume the bod is rigid. Eamples foam block with a coin wood block with a small weight stone arches Elasticall Deformable Bod Inelasticall Deformable Bod Bodies that undergo reversible deformations Eamples: rubber bands springs steel, concrete and wood structures under small deformations If structure deforms slightl, we can use original geometr for entire analsis Bodies that undergo irreversible deformations due to forces Eamples: bent paper clip steel, concrete and wood structures under large deformations If a structure ehibits large elastic or inelastic deformations, geometr changes 9/21/2005 1
Statics orces We start with statics Determining that the various forces acting on a bod are in equilibrium. applied force reaction forces reaction force re actions of one bod on another Pushing against each other - compressive force (bodies in compression) Pulling against each other - tensile force ( bodies in tension) orces represented b arrow length of arrow = scalar magnitude direction of arrow = line of action of force orces orce Components orce is a vector quantit In these lecture notes, we will use Boldface to represent a vector.

If a force is eerted on a rope or a cable, then each end must have an equal force if the sstem does not move. W = W If we have a set of concurrent forces, we can resolve these forces into a single force. 4 5 3 1 2 9/21/2005 3
