As you can see already from the variety of materials, forces, and shapes mentioned, Mechanics of Engineering Materials is of interest to（对..有价值）all fields of engineering. The engineer uses the principles of Mechanics of Materials to determine if the material properties and the dimensions of a member are adequate to（足以）ensure that it can carry its loads safely and without excessive distortion. In general（通 常）, then, we are interested in both the safe load that a member can carry and the associated （ 相 关 的 ） deformation. Engineering design would be a simple process if the designer could take into consideration（考 虑） the loads and the mechanical properties of the materials, manipulate（利用）an equation, and arrive at（得到）suitable dimensions.
where f is the stress at which the material fails (failure to be defined later) and n is the safety factor. 这里，f 为材料失效（失效在下文有定义）时的应力， 而n为安全系数。 It might at first（起先）seem that the designer would always dimension（选定..的尺寸）the cross section（横 截 面 ） so that the stress would exactly equal the allowable stress. However, it may be very costly to produce parts that have nonstandard sizes, so it is usually more economical to waste some material by selecting the next（接近的）larger standard size above that required by the allowable stress. Departure from（背离）standard sizes is justified（合理的） in cases where the penalty （ 不 利 后 果 ） for excess weight is very severe, as in aircraft（航天器）or space-ship（宇宙飞船）design.

CH4.2 Composition and Function of BuildingA building is composed of many elements. For example, take the house in Fig. 4.1, which includes foundations, walls or columns, floors, roofs,staircases, doors, windows, balconies, etc. They can be classified into two parts: enclosing structures and load-bearing structures.Fig. 4. 1 Composition of a dwelling building dwelling (housing that someone is living in)Enclosing Structures Enclosing ( the act of enclosing something inside something else)The function of a building is achieved by means of enclosing structures that make the building enclosed and stop wind, rain and snow in, but let sunlight and fresh air into the building, allowing people to live or work both s a f e l y and comfortably.Walls, doors, windows, eaves屋檐；凸出的边缘the overhang at the lower edge of a roof, parapets栏杆；扶手；矮护墙a low wall along the edge ofa roof or balcony and canopies天篷；华盖；遮篷；苍穹the umbrellalike part of a parachute that fills with air belong to the enclosing structures,Load-Bearing Structures•As shown in Fig. 4.2, a building is subjected to the weight from itself and the force from the nature such as the weights of people, furniture, equipment and structural materials, snow, wind, earthquake force and so on, which are all termed a word or expression used for some particular thing loads. The structures that are able to bear these loads and transfer them to other parts in the building are referred to load-bearing structures. The system which is composed of load-bearing structures is called structural system结构系统；构造/结构体系, which comprises a variety of structural members such as beams, slabs平板；厚片, columns, roof trusses, bearing walls, and foundations, etc. Loads on a building are transferred from top to bottom.(1)Foundation. The foundation is the lowest part of a building, whereas the soil under the foundation is termedground base that does not belong to the part of the building. The foundation sustains all loads of the building and then transfers them to the ground base.Walls. Walls can be divided into exterior walls and interior walls based on their positions, as shown in structures that insulate rooms in the building against wind? rain, heat and sound. The function of the interior walls is to divide the space in each floor into some individual rooms, besides heat and sound insulatioa The walls arranged along the brachy-axis and the macro - axis of a building are called transverse (or cross) and longitudinal walls respectively. The exterior cross wall is usually termed a gable wall.Fig, 4. 3. The exterior walls are outside enclosingFig. 4. 3 Description of walls•Walls can also be classified into bearing walls and non-bearing walls according to different structural behaviour. A wall used to support any load from the roof or the upper floor is called the bearing wall. Other walls are callednon-bearing walls. Walls such as partition walls, filler walls and curtain walls are examples of non-bearing walls The walls used to fill the areas between columns of frame structures are referred to as filler walls Curtain walls are any kind of lightweight exterior walls, i. e. glass curtain walls玻璃幕墙, which are suspended on skeleton structures骨架构造or floor slabs Walls can be made of different materials like brick, stone, earth, concrete and so on.(3) Floor. A floor is a structural member arranged horizontally, which separates the space between two stories. It is required that the floor not only can carry both vertical and horizontal loads, but also can provide sound insulation隔音；隔音材料；声绝缘, fireproofing and waterproofing. Space also needs to be left inside the floor for the installing ducts管道〔duct 的复数〕；通风管道of water, gas, ventilation通风设备；空气流通the act of supplying fresh air and getting rid of foul air, and electric or telephone wires•etc. The materials for making floors are usually timber, reinforced concrete and steel- concrete composite as shown in Fig. 4. 4, Reinforced concrete floors are used widely due to their good advantages in strength, rigidity, endurance and fireproofing.(4) Roof. The top part of a building is termed the roof. It is not only the enclosing structure keeping the space below the roof in a good condition without the attacks of wind, rain and snow, but also the load-bearing structure supporting itself weight and various live loads. A building can be designed with different types of roofs that should be in harmony with the whole architectural style, function,Fig. 4. 4 Types of Floor Boards (a) Timber floor; (b)Reinforced concrete floor; (c)Composite steel-concrete floorFig. 4. 5 Appearance of Roofs (a)pitched roofs; (b)curved roofsstructural system and covering material on the roof of the building. Flat , pitched斜的；人字形的and curved having or marked by a curve or smoothly rounded bend roofs are three types of roofs and Figure4. 5 shows the latter two types. Every roof of a building needs to be constructed with a certain slope to discharge the rainwater on the roof. So the flat roof is referred to as the roof with a slope less than or equal to 10%.(2)Staircase. The transportation of people from one floor to another in a building is realized through staircases. Besides staircases, elevators and escalators are vertical transportation equipment, too. Elevators are usually used in a building with many floors or when they are needed for special use. Escalators are often used in large- scale public buildings such as train stations, airport terminals ,shopping centers, etc. , where a large number of people need to go up and down. Staircases are the most basic and economical daily transportation equipment. They are also used for evacuating people in emergency structures. Staircases are therefore still necessary for buildings where elevators or escalators have been installed. Timber, brick•reinforced concrete and steel are some common materials for making staircases.Windows & Doors. Both windows and doors are two kinds of enclosing structures in a building. The function of windowsis to allow light and air to get in and people to see out. Doors used for people to get in and out between two separated rooms. At the same time, doors have the function of daylighting and ventilation like windows. Under different service conditions, windows and doors should serve the function of heat or sound insulation and water, fire, dust or burglary盗窃，夜盗entering a building unlawfully with intent to commit a felony or to steal valuable property prevention. Both windows and doors can be made usually using wood, aluminum, plastic or steel. They can be opened in many way's shown in Fig. 4. 6 and Fig. 4. 7.Fig. 4. 6 Way of Opening WindowsFig. 4. 7 Way of Opening Doors•(7) Balcony. A balcony is a platform built on the upstairs outside the wall of a building, with a wall or rail around it. People can get out onto a balcony from an upstairs room and enjoy the outside view or sit basking in the warmsunshine. A balcony may be arranged as shown in Fig. 4.8, where the two balconies are called cantilevered悬臂式的balcony and recessed嵌壁式的；深底的having a sunken area veranda respectively.4.3 Classification of BuildingsFig. 4. 8 Types of Balconies (a)cantilevered; (b)recessedThere are various kinds of buildings in the world. They are often classify based on a certain criterion. The aim ofclassification is to investigate the feature and behaviour of each type of building and then to establish standards andspecifications for the design and construction of the building.All buildings may be classified as production buildings and civil buildings according to their functions. The production buildings may be subclassed as industry buildings and buildings for agriculture and animal husbandry畜牧业；畜牧学breeding and caring for farm animals and the civil buildings may also be subclassed as residential buildings and public buildings Industry buildings are referred to as factory buildings for manufacturing goods and auxiliary functioning in a subsidiary or supporting capacity buildings like storehouses, garages, mending workshops as well To meet the needs of production process, most light factory buildings may be designed with multi- storeys, whereas heavy factory buildings are usually characterized by single storey and large span. Agriculture and animal husbandry buildings mean the buildings such as storehouses of crops , livestock牲畜；家畜not used technically; any animals kept for use or profit stalls, grain processing粮食加工；谷粒加工plants, tractor stations and greenhouses, etc. Residential buildings are about any types of buildings for families or a group of people to live, including houses, apartments and dormitories. Public buildings are places where people perform a variety of activities concerned with policy, diplomacy, economy, science, technology, culture, sports and so on. They play a significant role in a city, which represents the city image and reflects the living and cultural qualities of people. There are many types and complicated functions for public buildings. For example, there are many differences in architectural style, space and function among schools, hospitals, hotels, theaters, museums, libraries, railway stations, stadiums, etc. The planning and design of public buildings have much to do with the conditions of economy, science and technology as well as the aesthetic standard of the times.Buildings can be constructed using different materials so that they are often classified as buildings with wood structures, masonry structures, reinforced concrete structures and steel structures. Buildings can be also be classified based on their number of storeys. For example, the residential buildings with a range of 1 to 3 storeys, 4 to 6 storeys, 7 to 9storeys and 10 to 30 storeys are defined as low-rise buildings, mid-rise buildings, mid - high - rise buildings and high-rise buildings respectively, whereas the public buildings with a total height greater than 24 meters belong to high-rise buildings. Any building higher than 100 meters is defined as a super high-rise building, regardless of a residential building or a public building.4. 4 Structural Systems of Buildings1 StructureA simple definition of a ' structure' in a building is that a structure is a device for channeling通道作用loads that result fromthe use and presence of the building to the ground. In order to understand the structure, it is important to master the knowledge of structural systems and the way by which they are realized. Structural elements结构要素and systems can be distinguished and understood according to their shapes and basic physical properties.物理性质In terms of their basic geometries, structural elements can generally he classified4. 4 Structural Systems of BuildingsStructureA simple definition of a 4 structure' in a building is that a structure is a device for channeling loads that result from theuse and presence of the building to the 11 ground. In order to understand the structure, it is important to master the knowledge of structural systems and the way by which they are realized. Structural ^ elements and systems can be distinguished and understood according to their shapes and basic physical properties.•In terms of依据；按照their basic geometries几何图形，几何体, structural elements can generally he classified either as line-forming elements(or composed of line elements线元素) or as surface-forming elements. The former can be further distinguished as straight or curved , while the latter is either planar平面的；二维的or curved. Curved-surface elements can be of either single or double curvature.弯曲，[数] 曲率a curving or bending; often abnormal•Another basic classification is based on the stiffness刚度rigid 刚性or flexible, of the structural elements结构要素•. Rigid elements are those that do not undergo appreciable shape changes形变under the action of loads, but usually deform to a small degree. Flexible elements are those in which the element takes one shape under one loading condition and changes shape greatly when the nature of the loading changes. Fig. 4. 9 shows the characteristics of rigid and flexible elements. Many materials，such as timber, reinforced concrete, are inherently rigid, whereas other materials, such as steel, may be either rigid or flexible. A steel beam, for example, is a rigid member刚性构件, but a steel cable钢丝绳is obviously a flexible member.Fig. 4. 9 Rigid and Flexible Elements(a)Rigid beam; b)Flexible cableAccording to the spatial arrangement of structural system, there are one-way and two-way structural systems. In a one-way system, the basic load-transfer mechanism of the structure conducts loads in one direction only. In a two-way system, the direction of the load-transfer mechanism is more complex but always involves at least two directions. A beam spanning between two support points is an example of a one-way system. A square flat rigid plate resting on four continuous edge supports is a two-way system..(单向板双响板)4.4.2 Beams and ColumnsBoth beams and columns are the most essential structural elements in building engineering. Structures formed by resting rigid horizontal elements on top of rigid vertical elements are common everywhere. The horizontal elements, called beams» carry loads that are applied transversely横着；横断地；横切地in a transverse manner to their length and transfer them to the supporting vertical elements. The vertical elements, called columns, are loaded axially and transfer the loads to ground. Few buildings are constructed that do not make use of beams. Beams are often said to carry loads by bending，because they bowed or bent as a consequence of the transverse loading carried fending withstand the force of something enables a beam to produce a set of internal forces and deformations. Fibers in the upper portion of the beam are compressed and shortened , whereas those in the lower portion are tensioned arid elongated at any one cross section of the beam.FramesA frame structure is one made up of linear elements* typically beams and columns, which are connected to one another at their ends, called joints, that do not allow any relative rotations between the ends of the attached members, although the joints themselves may rotate as a unit. Frames are applicable to both large and small buildings. Fig. 4. 10 shows some types of frames. One of the simplest types of frames is a single span frame consisting of two columns and a rigidly connected beam. The frame with a beam that is constructed as two members forming a peaked roof is termed portal or gable frame. The concept of the single span frame may be extended to a multi-cell frame. For example, it can be widened horizontally to form a multi-bay frame and/or raised vertically to form a multi-storey frame.Fig. 4. 10 Types of Frames(a)Frame (b) Portal frame (c) Multi-bay frame; (4) Multi-storey frame(b) A frame structure is able to resist horizontal loads as well as vertical loads. When the beam is subjected to a vertical load* the load enables it to be flexural and tends to cause its end to rotate. The column tops and beam ends are however connected rigidly. Free rotation at the end of the beam cannot take place because the columns tend to prevent or restrain the beam end from rotating. As a result, the columns must carry bending moments as well as axial forces*and then transfer them to the ground. When a frame structure is subjected lateral loads, the beam restrains the columns from freely rotating in a way that would lead to the total collapse of the Structure by means of the presence of rigid connections. The stiffness of the beam has much to do with the lateral-load-bearing resistance of a frame. It also serves to transfer part of the lateral load from one to the other; The action of lateral products bending, shear and axial forces in all members of a frame.TrussesA truss is a structure made by assembling individual linear elements arranged in a triangle or combination of triangles to form a framework. The elements are typically assumed to join at their intersections with pinned connections. There are many possible configurations of trusses as shown in Fig. 4. 11. Both the top and bottom members are termed chords and the members between chords are termed webs. The primary principle of using the truss is that arranging members into some triangular configurations results in a stable structure. A truss made up of members is bent in an overall way under an applied loading which is much the same way as a beam bending. However, members are not subjected to bending but are either purely in compression or tension.Fig. 4.11 Types of Plane Trusses (a)Triangular truss; (b)Trapezoidal truss; (c)Parallel-chord trussTrusses can also be in the form of spatial structures to carry loads. A space truss is usually a large span of surface structure that is composed of rigid members triangulated in three dimensions and arranged in repeating geometric units. There are many ways of arranging repetitive geometric units to form different types of space trusses. Fig. 4. 12 shows one type of space truss.Fig. 4.12 Space Truss4.5 CablesCables are flexible line - forming structural elements. A cable subjected to external loads will obviously deform in a way dependent on the magnitude and location of the loads. The form obtained is often termed the funicular shape of the cable. The term funicular is derived from the Latin word 'rope'. Only tension forces are developed in the cable. When a cable is used to span two points and carry an external concentrated load or more,it deforms into a shape made up of a series of straight-line segments. A cable with constant cross section carrying only its own self- weight naturally deforms into a catenary shape , whereas a cable under a load that is uniformly distributed along its horizontal projection does into a parabola. Cables can be used in a variety of ways to span extremely large distances. Suspension cable structures and cable-stayed structures are two types of structures commonly used in building roofs, shown in Fig. 4. 13.Fig. 4.13 Cable Structures (a)Suspension cable structures; (b)Cable-stayed structures ArchesIf the shape of a cable under a given load is inverted倒转的，反向的〔being in such a position that top and bottom are reversed〕, the sag 下垂；下降〔a shape that sags〕at any point is turned into a rise. The point is now above the line joining the end points, as shown in Fig. 4. 14, by the same amount it was previously below it. A structure built according to the new shape is now in pure compression. A structure built according to the funicular 〔relating to or operated by a cable〕shape is termed an arch, which belongs to line-forming structure. People in ancient times have constructed block arches made of separate pieces of brick and stone shown in Fig. 4. 15. Rigid arches are frequently used in modern buildings, which are curved similarly to a block arch but made of a continuous rigid element such as steel or reinforced concrete member. The rigid arch is better to carry the variations of design loading than the block arch. Types of rigid arches are characterized by their support conditions shown in Fig. 4. 16.Fig. 4.14 Difference between Arch and CableFig. 4.15 Block ArchFig. 4.16 Support Conditions of Rigid Arches a)Fixed i (b) Two-hinged» (c) Three-hingedWalls and PlatesWalls and flat plates are rigid surface-forming structures. A load-bearing wall can carry loads both vertically and laterally. A flat plate whose depth is small with respect to its in-plane dimension is typically used horizontally and carries loads by bending. Plates can be supported along their whole boundaries or only at selected points or with some mixture of continuous and point supports. Plate structures are normally made of reinforced concrete and steel. Long narrow rigid plates can be joined along their long edges and used to span horizontally. These structures, called folded plates, have higher load- carrying capacity than original flat plates. They are often used for building roofs shown in Fig.4. 17.Fig. 4.17 Folded Plate RoofShellsA shell is a thin rigid three-dimensional structures with a surface which may take any shape. Common forms are rotational surfaces generated by the rotation of a curve about an axis(e. g. spherical surface in Fig. 4.18(a)), translational surfaces generated by sliding one plane curve over another plane curve (e. g. cylindrical surface in Fig. 4. 18(b)), ruled surface generated by sliding the two ends of a line segment on two individual plane curves (e. g. hyperbolic paraboloid surface in Fig. 4.18(c))and a wide variety of complex surfaces formed by various combinations of the three types of surfaces. A shell is capable of supporting loads through compression, tension and shear stresses within its surface. The thinness of the surface does not allow the development of appreciable bending resistance. Thin shell structures are only suitable to carrying distributed loads and have found wide application as roof structures in buildings.Three - dimensional forms may also be made of short rigid bars. Strictly speaking, these structures are not shell structures since they are not surface elements. However, their structural behavior is similar to continuous surface shells in which the stresses normally present in a continuous surface are concentrated into individual member. Structures of this type have been used extensively. Fig. 4. 19, shows this type of structure, called a Schwedler dome, which comprises a lot of triangular meshes formed by bars.MembranesA membrane is a thin flexible surface that carries loads primarily through theFig. 4. 18 Shell Structures (a)Sphcrical surface; (b)Cylindrical surface; (c)Hyperbolic paraboloidFig. 4.19 Schwedler Domedevelopment of tension stresses. Soap bubble is a good example to illustrate what a membrane is and how it behaves. Membranes are sensitive to the aerodynamic effects of wind that can cause fluttering. Therefore, mostof them used in buildings are stabilized in some way so that their basic shape is retained under various loading. A basic way of stabilizing a membrane is prestressing its surface. Figures 4. 20 and 4.21 show two kinds of membrane structures, called tent structures and pneumatic structures respectively. Prestressing can be achievedby means of the application of external forces that pull the surfaces taut for the tent structures, whereas by meansof internal air pressurization for the pneumatic structures.Pneumatic structures can be classified as air-supported structures and air-inflated structures. The former is composed of a single membrane which is supported by the pressure of the internal air a little higher than that of atmospheric. The latter is supported by pressurized air contained within inflated building elements. The internal air of a building remains at atmospheric pressure. In both types of pneumatic structures, the air pressure induces tensile stresses in the membrane. External forces acting on the membrane cause a relaxation of some of these tensile stresses. The internal pressure must be high enough under the action of any possible applied lloading to prevent compressive stresses from appearance.Fig. 4. 20 Tent StructureFig. 4. 21 Pneumatic Structures (a) Air-supported form; (b) Air-inflated form4. 5 Special Engineering StructuresIn addition to the above buildings, there are some special engineering structures such as TV towers, water towers»cooling towers, chimneys, silos, storage tanks, etc (Fig. 4. 22). They are used as facilities for public service or for production in industry or for storage. Usually, their sizes are quite large either vertically or horizontally. Shanghai TV tower, for example, is 460 meters high and is the highest one in China so far. A gas tank built in Taiwan can store gas of 80 thousand cubic meters with a diameter of 76 meters. Special engineering structures usually are made of reinforced concrete or steel as they require high load-carrying capacity.Fig. 4. 22 Special Engineering StructuresWater tower; (b)Cooling tower (c)Silo; d)Gas tankQuestionsWhat are the main features of architectural products?What basic elements comprise a building?What loads may be a building subjected to?How do you distinguish between enclosing structures and load-bearing structures?
