STRENGTH OF MATERIALS BASIC FORMATION: SOM

All structures both natural and man-made are composed of materials that are arrangedand assembled in a way that will fulfill the purpose of the structure. Buildings bridgesand bones are made from clay steel and calcium. These have a correspondingly widerange of behaviors under loadThe strength of a material is the ability of that material to withstand an applied stresswithout failure. Different types of stress can be defined within this field like tensilestress compressive stresses beside shear stresses. In addition materials could befailed by another types of failures like fatigue stress thermal stress and/or creepfailure. These all within the so called the strength of materials or mechanics ofmaterials will be included to clarify how to deal with applied loads. Hence strength ofmaterials is a subject which deals with loads deformations and the forces acting on thematerial.
