n this textbook about the Mechanics of Ma-
terials we investigate the stressing and the deformations of elastic
structures subject to applied loads. In the first chapter we will re-
strict ourselves to the simplest structural members, namely, bars
under tension or compression.
In order to treat such problems, we need kinematic relations and
a constitutive law to complement the equilibrium conditions which
are known from Volume 1. The kinematic relations represent the
geometry of the deformation, whereas the behaviour of the elastic
material is described by the constitutive law. The students will
learn how to apply these equations and how to solve statically
determinate as well as statically indeterminate problems.
