Mechanical Properties - Stresses & Strains

Types of Deformation : Elasic Plastic Anelastic

Elastic deformation is defined as instantaneous recoverable deformation Hooke's law : For tensile loading, =E

where is stress defined as the load per unit area : = P/Ao, N/m2, Pa l and strain is given by the change in length per unit length = l , % o The proportional constant E is the Young's modulus or modulus of Elasticity : E ~ 10x106 psi [68.9 GPa] for metals [varying from 10x106 psi for Al, 30x106 for Fe and 59x106 for W]. Poisson's Ratio [] : ratio of lateral contraction to longitudinal elongation = - x / z = - y / z [for isotropic materials]; in general, ~ 0.3 Thus the total contractile strains is less than the expansion along the tensile axis thereby resulting in a slight increase in the volume of the material under stress this is known as Elastic Dilation . Modulus Of Rigidity or Shear Modulus [G] : G = / ; G is the shear modulus and is related to E and , G = E / 2(1+ ). Bulk Modulus [] : the change in volume to the original volume is proportional to the hydrostatic pressure [hyd] : V/V = hyd , where is the compressibility . The inverse of the compressibility is the bulk modulus [] : = 1/ . is also related to E and : = E / 3(1-2 ) = 2G(1+ ) / 3(1-2 ).

Thus one can evaluate the various elastic moduli from one or more experimentally evaluated constants. Note that the elastic moduli are related to the interatomic bonding and thus decrease [slightly] with increasing temperature. Any change in the crystal structure, for example following a phase change [polymorphism], one notes a distinct change in the elastic moduli.

{can determine these components using tensor transformations, Mohr circle, etc.} First, we look at 3 important examples of Stress States 1. Plane Stress (p.20) 2. Hydrostatic & Deviatoric Stresses (p.46) 3. Principal Stresses (various sections such as 2.14)
KL Murty page 5 MAT 450

Plane Stress (p. 20)


- stresses are zero in one of the primary directions (or 2-D stress state) Examples : 1. Thin sheet with loaded in the plane (stresses are zero along the thickness direction) 2. Pressurized thin cylinder (stresses along r or thickness direction are zero for cylinders when wall-thickess is about 1/10th of diameter) : =
Pr Pr , z = with r 0 t 2t

Principal Stresses (p. 22)


Principal Planes are the planes on which maximum normal stresses act with no shear stresses
and these stresses are the Principal Stresses

Designate 1 , 2 , 3 implies no shear stresses or ij = ij ij Proof is clear from Mohrs circle representation (see text Fig.2.6) for 2-D

Hydrostatic and Deviatoric Stresses (p. 46)


Total stress tensor can be divided into two components (Fig. 2-18) Hydrostatic or mean stress tensor (m) involving only pure tension or compression

Principal Stresses (p. 22)


Principal Planes are the planes on which maximum normal stresses act with no shear stresses and these stresses are the Principal Stresses Designate 1 , 2 , 3 implies no shear stresses or ij = ij ij
Proof is clear from Mohrs circle representation (see text Fig.2.6) for 2-D
