    Study Notes

    Forces and Materials

    • A non-contact force is developed when one body exerts a force on another body without direct physical contact between the bodies.
    • Contact forces are caused by direct contact of one body with the surface of another.

    Materials Properties

    • Isotropic materials have the same physical and mechanical properties throughout its volume and in all directions.
    • Homogeneous materials have the same physical and mechanical properties throughout its volume.

    Strain and Hardening

    • Shear strain refers to the deformation of a material by shear stress.
    • When yielding has ended in strain hardening, the material's strength increases, and its ductility decreases.

    Probability and Loading

    • Resistance factors (𝜙) reflect the probability that the total loading R will occur for all the events stated.
