What is Engineering Mechanics & Strength of Materials ?





ENGINEERING MECHANICS

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

Ø  In this we assume that the body is perfectly rigid (the type of material which doesn’t undergo any change in geometry of the body when load is applied).

Ø  In this we assume that the body is perfectly elastic (the type of material which undergoes change in geometry of the body when load is applied)

Ø  It deals with the study of external force & their effect on rigid body.

Ø  It deals with the effect of external force & their effect as internal resting force in bodies.

Ø  In rigid body, stress will develop but no strain.

Ø  In deformable bodies both stress and strain will develop.


Note- Concept of Ideal body or rigid body is hypothetical and it doesn’t exist.
