We have a structure
Def. Structure is an assemblage of members suitably
connected to each other and supported so that it
carries loads coming on it safely to the
support/foundation
Thus the basic building blocks of any structure is a
member or an element which may be one two or
three dimensional
Truss element--- AF
Beam element --- SF and BM
Frame element 2-3 d--- AF, SF, BM
Slab element--- BM, TM, SF

Historical background
17 th and 18 th century saw investigation into problem of bending of
elastic bars by Galileo Galilei, E Mariotte, Robert Hook, J bernaulli, L
Euler, CA Coulomb and others
Due to need for construction of rail roads, necessity was felt for
developing deeper understanding of behaviour of solids subjected to
different loads
Content
Introduction- need to study beyond elementary theory of strength of
materials
Local stresses near point load, near supports difficult to determine
Stresses in beams whose depth is comparable to its span (deep beam)
Stresses in rollers and balls of bearings
Stresses at locations where sharp variation occurs in dimension of beams
and shaft

These stresses act as interacting forces between adjacent sections, over the
entire cross section. State of stress is therefore represented by
x , y , xy only
and z can be determined from x and y

From this equation, two directions could be found out for which
shear stress is zero. These directions are the Principal

Strain at a point

the strains (normal and shear ) in any direction can be determined
