aim of stress analysis is to take the geometry of a component or structure and the externally applied “loads” and determine the state of stress in the material. Subjects that encompass stress analysis include “strength of materials”‚ “solid mechanics”‚ mechanics of deformable solids” ‚ etc. When the stresses in the body are known‚ the material properties are used in a failure theory to decide whether the body can withstand the design loads. If this is the case‚ then further analysis may be undertaken

7/7/2014 1 Chapter 1 General concepts of stress and strain 1.0 Introduction • Strength of materials is a branch of applied mechanics that deals with the behavior of solid bodies subjected to various types of loading. Other names for this field of study are mechanics of materials‚ mechanics of solids and mechanics of deformable bodies. • The main objective of the study of mechanics of materials is to provide the future engineer with the means of analyzing and designing various machines and load bearing

Chapter 8 Flow in Pipes 8-76E Solution The flow rate through a piping system between a river and a storage tank is given. The power input to the pump is to be determined. Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The entrance effects are negligible‚ and thus the flow is fully developed. 3 The flow is turbulent so that the tabulated value of the loss coefficients can be used (to be verified). 4 The elevation difference between the free surfaces of the tank and the river remains constant

the cause(s) of road accident in developing countries is the mechanic who repairs the various vehicles before the vehicles hits the road. Though many attempted to suggest that a vehicle which is not roadworthy is a source of accident‚ they failed to propose means by which this could be rectified in a holistic way. Laws could be enacted to prevent vehicles not roadworthy from operating on the roads but between the two gaps the mechanic plays a significant role in preventing such road accidents occurring
