CHAPTER 1
Analysis of Stress
1.1 Introduction
The subject of Mechanics of Solids deals with the deformable solids under loads and with their deformations and internal forces that are produced. The relations between applied loads, deformations and the internal forces that are produced in a deformable solid are of great importance in designing structures and machines. Such relations combined with the properties of materials are used to calculate the size of the structural members.
The concept of calculating the shape and size in mechanics of solids depends upon the nature of deformable bodies to resist the deformations. While resisting deformations under some applied load system the body produces an internal resistance at each point of any section. ...
