Engineers and other scientists, apply the knowledge of stress analysis in the design of systems such as automobiles, missiles, aircrafts, ships, submarines, machines, etc. Basically, any matter whose strength, weight or deformation of important consideration is studied from the point of view of stress analysis. In theory, this course describes the use differential equation and solutions for the investigation of matters of different shapes and materials, under different conditions of stress and strain, caused by the action of various external forces

Chapter One Simple stresses
Strength of materials extends the study of forces that was begun in Engineering
Mechanics, but there is a sharp distinction between the two subjects.
Fundamentally, the field of mechanics covers the relation between forces acting
on rigid bodies; in statics, the bodies are in equilibrium , whereas in dynamics ,
they are accelerated but can be but in equilibrium by applying correctly inertia
forces.
In contrast to mechanics, strength of materials deals with the relation between
externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies. Moreover, the bodies
are no longer assumed to be ideally rigid; the deformations, however small, are of
major interest. The properties of the material of which a structure or machine is
made affects both its choice and dimensions that will satisfy the requirements of
strength and rigidity.
The difference between mechanics and strength of materials can be further
emphasized by the following example:-
∑ 𝑀𝐴 = 0 (in statics)
We can find the load P
Member AB assumed to be rigid enough and strong enough to permit the desired
action.
In strength of materials we must investigate the bar itself to be sure that it will
neither break nor be so flexible that it bends without lifting the load.

The material of the bar 1 is ten times as stronger as material 2.
Normal Stress
The resisting area is perpendicular to the applied force, thus normal. There are
two types of normal stresses; tensile stress and compressive stress. Tensile stress
applied to bar tends the bar to elongate while compressive stress tend to shorten
the bar. Where P is the applied normal load in Newton and A is the area in mm2.
The maximum stress in tension or compression occurs over a section normal to
the load
Shearing Stress
Forces parallel to the area resisting the force cause shearing stress. It differs to
tensile and compressive stresses, which are caused by forces perpendicular to the
area on which they act. Shearing stress is also known as tangential stress.
Bar 1
Bar 2
Where V is the resultant shearing force which passes through the centroid of the
area A being sheared. Type equation here.
Example
What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a plate that is 25 mm
thick? The shear strength is 350 MN/m2.
Bearing Stress
Bearing stress is a compressive stress but it is differs from the normal compressive
stress in that the latter is an internal stress caused by internal compressive force
whereas the former is a contact pressure between two separate bodies. Some
examples of bearing stress are soil pressure beneath the pier and the forces on
bearing plates. We now consider the contact pressure between a rivet or bolt and
the contact surface of the plate against which it pushes.
Example( popov): For the structure shown in the figure, calculate the size of the
bolt and the area of the bearing plates required if the allowable stresses are (
MPa) in tension and 3.44 MPa in bearing. Neglect the weight of the beams.
