Mechanics of Materials

• external loads and their

effect on deformable bodies

• use it to answer question if structure

meets requirements of

– stability and equilibrium

– strength and stiffness

• other principle building requirements • economy, functionality and aesthetics

Stress

• stress is a term for the intensity of a

force, like a pressure

• internal or applied

• force per unit area
