 Statics and Mechanics of Materials
• In Statics, the body under consideration is assumed to be perfectly
rigid, and does not deform when forces are applied. Solutions to
statistics problems involve determining external forces acting on
some structures and internal forces developed in others by using
free body diagrams and the appropriate equilibrium equations.
• Solution process involves only three basic steps
• Construct a complete set of free body diagrams
• Apply the appropriate equations of equilibrium
• Execute the mathematics required to solve one or more of the
equilibrium equations.

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan (AUST) L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 10
 Learning Objectives
• Mechanics of materials is an extension of statics. Here we account for the
effect of material deformation on the internal stresses generated by a
body.
• Solutions to problems that arise in the mechanics of materials involve the
five steps:
• Construct a complete set of free body diagrams
Step-1

• Apply the appropriate equations of equilibrium

Step-2

• Assume the geometry of the deformations (plane section remain plane)

Step-3

• Employ the appropriate relations between stress and strain

Step-4

• Execute the mathematics required in solving the equations

Step-5

 Newton’s 1st Law
• The first of Newton’s may be written as:
𝑭𝟏 + 𝑭𝟐 + ⋯ … … … … … … … . . +𝑭𝒏 = 𝟎 (vector representation)
where 𝑛 forces are acting on the body
• The above equation is used extensively in both statics and
mechanics of materials, when the equilibrium equations are written.

The equivalent scalar equations are

෍ 𝑭𝒙 = 𝟎, ෍ 𝑭𝒚 = 𝟎, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ෍ 𝑭𝒛 = 𝟎

𝐹1𝑥 + 𝐹2𝑥 + ⋯ … . +𝐹𝑛𝑥 = 0; 𝐹1𝑦 + 𝐹2𝑦 + ⋯ … . +𝐹𝑛𝑦 = 0

𝐹1𝑧 + 𝐹2𝑧 + ⋯ … . +𝐹𝑛𝑧 = 0

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 12
 Newton’s Laws
𝐹1𝑥 + 𝐹2𝑥 + ⋯ … . +𝐹𝑛𝑥 = 0
𝐹1𝑦 + 𝐹2𝑦 + ⋯ … . +𝐹𝑛𝑦 = 0
𝐹1𝑧 + 𝐹2𝑧 + ⋯ … . +𝐹𝑛𝑧 = 0

• The direction of the forces in this equation have been taken into
account by considering only those forces in either the 𝑥, 𝑦 or 𝑧
directions.

• When the forces are constrained to the three Cartesian directions,

the scalar form of the equilibrium equations is employed.

• Note that when the forces act in directions other than the Cartesian
directions, the force vectors must first be decomposed into their
components acting in the 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝑧 directions, before they can be
used in the scalar equations

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 13
 Newton’s 2nd Law
• Newton’s second law is
𝒅
෍𝑭 = 𝒎𝒗 = 𝒎𝒂
𝒅𝒕
This equation is used frequently in the study of dynamics
When the sum of forces is not zero, a body of mass 𝑚 is subjected to
an acceleration 𝒂.

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 14
 Newton’s 3rd Law
• Newton’s third law is called the law of action and reaction.

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 15
 Force systems-Non-coplanar and non-concurrent
• When a body is subjected to non-coplanar and non-concurrent
forces and is in equilibrium, the directions and magnitude of 𝐹1 , 𝐹2 ..
𝐹𝑛 must satisfy the six Cartesian component equations

σ 𝐹𝑥 = 0, σ 𝐹𝑦 = 0, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 σ 𝐹𝑧 = 0
σ 𝑀𝑥 = 0, σ 𝑀𝑦 = 0, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 σ 𝑀𝑧 = 0

The forces which do not lie in a

single plane and do not pass
through a single point are known
as non-coplanar and non-
concurrent forces

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 16
 Force systems-Non-coplanar and concurrent
• When a body is subjected to non-coplanar and concurrent forces
and is in equilibrium, the directions and magnitude of 𝐹1 , 𝐹2 .. 𝐹𝑛
must satisfy the three Cartesian component equations

෍ 𝐹𝑥 = 0, ෍ 𝐹𝑦 = 0, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ෍ 𝐹𝑧 = 0

σ 𝑀𝑥 = σ 𝑀𝑦 = σ 𝑀𝑧 = 0

Due to concurrency, no moment occur.

Example is forces acting at the top end of
an electrical pole

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 17
 Force systems-Coplanar and non-concurrent
• When a body is subjected to coplanar and non-concurrent forces
and is in equilibrium, the directions and magnitude of 𝐹1 , 𝐹2 .. 𝐹𝑛
must satisfy the three Cartesian component equations
෍ 𝐹𝑥 = 0, ෍ 𝐹𝑦 = 0, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ෍ 𝐹𝑧 = 0

The remaining three equations of

equilibrium are satisfied independently of
the solution for the three possible
unknowns.

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 18
 Force systems-coplanar and concurrent
• This category is the simplest of the four force systems because
equilibrium is satisfied by using only the following two equations:
෍ 𝐹𝑥 = 0, ෍ 𝐹𝑦 = 0

The other four equilibrium relations are satisfied automatically and

they do not provide useful information.

 Free body Diagrams (FBDs)
 The equations of equilibrium may be applied to:
• A single body or member
• A structure made of several members
• A portion of a multi-member structure formed by a
section cut
• A part of a body or structure that has been formed by
two or more section cuts
• An element removed from a body

 A FBD is a model. Its purpose is to simplify the physical

representation of the structure by omitting its fine details that are
not necessary in solving an equilibrium problem.

Dr. Md. Shahnewaz Bhuiyan (AUST) L-3, T-1, Dept. MPE, Program :ME ME 2201 Mechanics of Materials 27
 Recap: How to draw FBD
 Select and draw bodies or parts of interest to be shown in the
FBD

 Identify and draw the body and surface forces applied on the
bodies

 Discard contacting bodies that are not wanted and replace

them with the forces they exert to the body of interest

 Cut the body parts that are not wanted and replace them with
internal forces they exert to the body of interest

 Decide and locate a coordinate system

 Recap: Discarded bodies and the replacement forces
