Shear stress | Definition, limitation and application
You take the bunch of papers in your hand. Take at least 100 paper than only you will able to visualize. Try to bend them, you will notice the paper
Solid Mechanics
Solid mechanics is the branch of continuum mechanics that studies the behavior of solid materials, especially their motion and deformation under the action of external or internal forces to better design structure. During elementary physics, we have learned about force. A force, when applied, can cause a change in the state of a body. It either displaces the body or deforms the body. We would be dealing with the latter condition in these articles.
Bending stresses | Definition, limitation, and application
In the park near your home, you might have seen the sea saw. Kids enjoy playing with this. But what happens when adults ride on it? It fails. What leads
Relation between elastic constants
You must be knowing different elastic constants, like the modulus of elasticity, rigidity, bulk modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. These are different elastic moduli having different meanings. But all these elastic
Homogenous and Isotropic material
Before starting the strength of the material, you need to clearly understand homogenous and isotropic material as you keep making these assumptions about the material. In this post, you will
Hooke’s law- A Stress-Strain Relationship | Formula & Explanation
If you are looking for Hooke’s law, you must be familiar with the stress-strain behavior of the material. We plot the stress versus strain curve for the material to know
What is the modulus of rigidity?
While reading the strength of the material, we come across different moduli. One of these moduli is the modulus of rigidity. In this article, we will see the definition of
Newton Raphson Method: Overview, Formula and Easy graphical interpretation
Suppose you need to find the square root of 16 and being very poor in mathematics; your friend will give you three chances to come to the right solution. Will
Know the most important mechanical properties of materials needed
Do you wonder how diamonds can be cut into two pieces if they are one of the hardest materials? Do you often get confused with the different properties of materials
How to draw the stress strain curves for Brittle material & Mild Steel ?
Can you answer how a white chalk stick will break when you apply load in an axially outward direction? Do you know the difference between various stress strain curves? Do
Perpetual Motion Machine – First, Second & Third kind
What if I say there is a machine that produces energy continuously without any energy input? What if I say there is a machine that is 100% efficient? The answers
