Statically Indeterminate Problem (Axial Deformation)
Example 1: Consider the axial member constrained between two planes and . The cross-section area is and the modulus of elasticity are given. A numerical …
Poisson’s Ratio
In this lecture, we explain Poisson’s ratio. Consider the situation shown in Fig. 1 below. Force is applied in the direction. We assume that the …
Deformation of Members Under Axial Loading
In this lecture, we explain how to calculate the deformation of objects under the action of axial force. A YouTube video accompanying this lecture is …
Deformation, Strain, and Hooke’s law
In this lecture, we will introduce very important concepts. We will explain the concepts of axial deformation, axial strain, and we will learn one important …
Stress on an Oblique Plane Under the Action of Axial Force
In this strength of materials and mechanics lecture, we will analyze the stress field under the influence of an axial force. We will be interested …
Shearing Stress
In this lecture, we introduce the concept of shear stress. Consider the load scenario and a 2D sketch of an element shown in Fig. 1 …
Move (Translate) Forces From One Point to Another
This brief lecture explains how to move (better to say “translate”) forces from one point to another. This is a useful technique for analyzing the …
