1: Break a force into x and y components. Calculate the resultant of several concurrent forces. Apply factors of safety in component design. Calculate the axial deformation (change in length) of an object with an axial load. Apply equilibrium equations in order to calculate unknown forces. Calculate the strain in a body. Calculate the shear stress in a body. Calculate the axial stress in a body. Calculate the bearing stress between two bodies. Calculate the moment that a force creates around a specified point. Read a stress-strain diagram. Look up material properties such as ultimate strength, elastic strength, and modulus of elasticity. Use Method of Joints to solve for the force in truss members. Use Method of Sections to solve for the force in truss members. Use summation of moments to solve for external reactions. Find zero-force members in a truss.
