Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 6

DefinitionsMatter: Matter is actually made up of atoms and molecules. Since this is too complex, matter is taken to be continuously distributed-a continuum; it may be rigid or deformable.

Particle: A material with negligibly small dimensions is called a 'particle', the mass being concentrated at a point. The concept is analogous to that of a point in geometry, which has position but no dimensions.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 7

However, there is a difference in that a particle, being a material, has mass while a point, being only a geometrical concept, has none.

Body: A collection of particles is called a 'body'. It may be a rigid body or an elastic or deformable body.

Rigid Body: The particles in a rigid body are so firmly connected together that their relative positions do not change irrespective of the forces acting on it. Thus the size and shape of a rigid body are always maintained constant

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 8

Elastic Body: A body whose size and shape can change under forces is a deformable body. When the size and shape can be regained on removal of forces, the body is called an elastic body.

Scalar Quantity: A quantity which is fully described by its magnitude only is a scalar. Arithmetical operations apply to scalars. Examples are: Time, mass, area and speed.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 9

Vector Quantity: A quantity which is described by its magnitude and also its direction is a vector. Operations of vector algebra are applicable to vectors. Examples are: Force, velocity, moment of a force and displacement .

Mass: The quantum of matter in a body is characterized by its 'mass', which is measure of its inertia, or its resistance to change of velocity. It is the property of a body by virtue of which it can experience attraction to other bodies. The symbol used is 'm'.

Analysis of Engineering systemsStudy of forces • (Tensile, Compressive, Shear, Torque, Moments)

Study of motion• (Straight, curvilinear, displacement, velocity,

acceleration.)Study of deformation• (Elongation, compression, twisting)

Application of laws relating the forces to the deformation

In some special cases one or more above mentioned steps may become trivial

e.g. For rigid bodies deformation will be negligible.If system is at rest, position of system will be independent of time.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 11

Step-By-Step procedure to solve problems in mechanics of solids

Select actual/real system of interest.

Make assumptions regarding desired characteristics of the system

Develop idealized model of the system(Structural and Machine elements)

Apply principles of mechanics to the idealized model to compare these calculated results with the behaviour of the actual system

Contd…

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 12

If the results (calculated and actual) differ widely repeat above steps till satisfactory idealized model is obtained.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 13

ForceForce: In physics, a net force acting on a body causes that body to accelerate; that is, to change its velocity. The concept appeared first in the second law of motion of classical mechanics.

There are three basic kinds of forces as mentioned below

•Tensile force or pull

•Compressive force or push

•Shear force

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 14

Tensile Force or Pull

•When equal and opposite forces are applied at the ends of a rod or a bar away from the ends, along its axis, they tend to pull the rod or bar. This kind of a force is called a tensile force or tension.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 15

Compressive Force or Push

•When equal and opposite forces act at the ends of a rod or a bar towards the ends along its axis, they tend to push the rod or the bar. This kind of force is called a compressive force or compression.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 16

Shear Force

When equal and opposite forces act on the parallel faces of a body, shear occurs on these planes. This tends to cause an angular deformation as shown.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 17

• One Newton is force which gives an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.

• A mass of 1kg on earth’s surface will experience a gravitational force of 9.81 N.

• Hence a mass of 1kg has because of gravitational force of the earth, a weight of 9.81 N.

If a force system acting on a body can be replaced by a single force, with exactly the same effect on the body, this single force is said to be the 'resultant' of the force system.

The moment of force

The moment of force F about a point O is r X F.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 26

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 27

Moment = r×FThe moment itself is a vector quantity.Its direction is perpendicular to the

plane determined by OP and F. The sense is fixed by the right hand ruleFrom calculus the magnitude of the

cross product r×F = F r sinφ, Where r sinφis the perpendicular distance between point O and vector F.

A special case of moments is a couple. A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction. It does not produce any translation, only rotation. The resultant force of a couple is zero. BUT, the resultant of a couple is not zero; it is a pure moment.

Couple

About couple….

• This result is independent of the location of B.

• Moment of a couple is the same about all points in space.

• A couple may be characterized by a moment vector without specification of the moment center B, with magnitude Fd.

• Encircling arrow indicates moment of a couple.

GENERAL COPLANER FORCE SYSTEM

• External forces acting on a system in equilibrium all lie in the plane of sketch.

• Three of six general scalar equations of equilibrium are satisfied: no force components perpendicular to the plane , & If moments are taken about a point O lying in the plane, the only moment components will be perpendicular to the plane.

• Hence for 2-dimensional problem, three independent scalar conditions of equilibrium remains.

i.e ∑FX = 0∑FY =0 and∑M =0

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 67

• If it is possible to determine all the forces involved by using only the equilibrium requirements without regard to deformations, such systems are called statically determinate.statically determinate.

• Use of equilibrium conditions to solve for unknown forces from known forces.

Trusses

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 80

Trusses• Trusses are designed to support the loads

and are usually stationary, fully constrained structures. All the members of a truss are TWO FORCE members

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 81

Use of truss

1. Construction of roof

2. Bridges

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 82

3. Transmission line towers.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 83

Relation between number of joints and member in trusses

m = 2j - 3

If a truss obeys the equation, is called Perfect truss (just rigid truss)

If no. of members are more than this equation then it is called Redundant truss (over rigid truss)

If no. of members are less than this equation then it is called Deficient truss (under rigid truss)

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 84

Method of analysis of truss

1.Joint equilibrium method

2.Section equilibrium method

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 85

Joint Equilibrium MethodIn this method using FBD for each joint, equilibrium of the joints of the truss is consider one at a time. At each joint it is necessary to satisfy the static equilibrium equations. This method is suitable, when it is asked to calculate forces in all the members of the truss

Only two static equilibrium equations will be satisfied at a time because Σ M = 0 will always be satisfied for concurrent force system.

Only two unknown forces will be determined at a time.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 86

Step by step procedure of joint equilibrium method

1. Draw a FBD of an entire truss showing the external forces acting on it. (i.e. applied forces/ loads and reactions)

2. Obtain the magnitude and direction of reactions by using the static equilibrium equations.

3. Select a joint where only two unknown forces exit and draw its FBD assuming all unknown forces tensile.

4. Apply the equilibrium equations to the joint, which will give the forces in the members.

5. If the obtained value is –ve then our assumed direction is wrong. Change the nature of force.

6. Apply the above steps to each joint and determine the forces.

7. At the end, redraw the truss and show the correct direction as well as its magnitude of force in each member.

Section equilibrium methodThis method is also based upon the conditions of static equilibrium. This method is suitable when forces only in few of the members of the truss, particularly away from the supports are required.

Conditions of equilibrium are

Σ FX = 0 Σ FY = 0 Σ M = 0

Where Σ M is the moments of all the forces about any point in the plane of the forces.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 97

Since we have only three equilibrium equation, only maximum three unknown forces can be found at a time. Therefore a care should be taken while taking a section that section line does not cut more than three members in which the forces are unknown.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 98

Step by step procedure of section equilibrium method

1. Draw a FBD of an entire truss showing the external forces acting on it. (i.e. applied forces/ loads and reactions)

2. Obtain the magnitude and direction of reactions by using the static equilibrium equations.

3. Draw an imaginary line which cuts the truss and passes through the members in which we need to find the forces, care must be taken to see that the section line must cut maximum of three members in which forces are unknown.

4. Prepare FBD of either part showing loads, reactions and internalforces in the members, which are cut by section line.

5. Apply the three conditions of equilibrium. If more than three unknowns are to be calculated, then two section lines can be selected and then the truss is to be solved by the above procedure.

Friction forceis the result of interaction of the surface

layers of bodies in contact

Two separate friction forces are given byFS = fs N Where FS is static friction forceFK = fk N Where FK is kinetic friction force

fs & fk are static and kinetic coefficients of friction and are intrinsic properties of the interface between the materials in contact.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Cahudhari 106

Main Properties of Friction Force (F)

1. If there is no relative motion between a & b,

then the frictional force (F) is exactly equal &

opposite to the applied tangential force (T).

2. This condition can be maintained for any

magnitude of T between zero & certain limiting

value Fs, called the static friction force.static friction force.

3. IF T > FS, sliding will occur.

4. If body A slides on body B, then F acting on

body A will have a directiondirection oppositeopposite to velocity
