| Question | Answer |
| External Loads | A body is subjected to only 2 types of external loads. Surface forces and body forces. |
| Surface forces | When two surfaces touch one another. Force evenly distributed and if area thin can be approximated by a linear distributed load. |
| Body Forces | When one body exerts a force on another without them touching i.e. gravity. Normally represented by a single concentrated force. i.e center of gravity |

| State of stress | A cubic section can be cut out of a member to give the state of stress shown below. |
| Stress directions | Normal stress acts normal to the change in area Shear force acts tangential to the change in area |
| Prismatic | All cross sectionals are the same |
| Homogeneous | same physical and mechanical properties all the way through |
| Isotropic | Same properties in all directions |
| Constant normal stress distribuion | uniform stress distribution means there must be a constant normal stress distribution. |
| Average normal stress equation | |
| Tension vs compression | Note that stress is in equilibrium. |
| Maximum average normal stress | Must analysis all sections where the cross sectional area or force changes for the largest P/A ratio. Use a axial/normal force force diagram. |

| Shear stress equilibrium | Shear stress mus be in equilibrium for pure shear to occur |
| Average shear special case | In some case double shear may occur in which case the shear force v is divided by 2 |
| Allowable stress equation | Same equation can be used but instead of force normal stress or shear stress can be used. |

| Stress/strain diagram | |
| Elastic behavior | Ranges up to the elastic limit. Up until this point the specimen returns to it's original shape once the load is removed. |
| Yielding | Occurs after the yield stress. Permanent deformation occurs here. Specimen continues to elongate even without an increase in load. |
| Strain Hardening | Occurs after yielding. Marks a point where more load can be handled by the specimen . This process will flatten off until in reaches the ultimate stress. |

| Angle of twist for multiple torques | |
| Sign convention Angle of twist | Use the right hand rule |
| Note on summing angles of twist | Only valid if shear stress does not exceed the proportional limit. |
| Torsion case: Two fixedsupports at either end of a member | angle of twist must equal 0 |
| Angle of twist case 2: two materials bound together | Angles of twist must be equal to each other |
| Torsion: Stress concentrations | The torsion formula can not be used when there is a sudden change in cross secional area. So K is used in this formula |
