Green’s strain

Note that Green s strain corresponds to the case E (1) as mentioned previously E = E )). 

Although the deformation is described by U, other measures of strain can be useful. One example is provided by Green s strain tensor G, defined as... 

Green s strain tensor vanishes in an undeformed system G = 0. For small deformations, it converges to the strain tensor e, defined in section 2.2.2. 

For small deformations, the terms of the form duu/dii are small. The product in the second term thus becomes small and can be neglected. For small deformations, Green s strain tensor thus converges to e. 

Fij thus contains only diagonal entries. Green s strain tensor G can be calculated... 

Before proceeding, some definitions are useful. Stress is the ratio of the force on a body to the cross-sectional area of the body. The true stress refers to the infinitesimal force per (instantaneous) area, while the engineering stress is the force per initial area. Strain is a measure of the extent of the deformation. Normal strains change the dimensions, whereas shear strains change the angle between two initially perpendicular lines. In correspondence with the true stress, the Cauchy (or Euler) strain is measured with respect to the deformed state, while the Green s (or Lagrange) strain is with respect to the undeformed state. 

It is noted that S is symmetric and energetically conjugate with the Green-Lagrange strain E. From Equation (4.44), it is seen that S is produced by mapping the stress in the deformed body to the undeformed body. In other words, S represents the force mapped to the undefonned body on the undeformed area. 

Suppose that the equilibrium stress field resulting from the relaxation step shown in part (c) of Figure 6.23 is denoted by alj(x,y). An expression for this stress field can be written immediately by appeal to the representation theorem for stress in terms of the elastic Green s function for a concentrated force under plane strain conditions. Suppose a stress field ijk(x, y) can be found which, for fixed k, is the stress field in the plane due to a concentrated force of unit magnitude applied at the origin x = Q, y = Q and acting in the A —th direction. This singular solution is known, so the solution for any distribution of concentrated forces can be constructed by... 

The Cauchy stress tensor cr and Green Lagrange strain tensor Cgl are of second order and may be connected for a general anisotropic linear elastic material via a fourth-order tensor. The originally 81 constants of such an elasticity tensor reduce to 36 due to the symmetry of the stress and strain tensor, and may be represented by a square matrix of dimension six. Because of the potential property of elastic materials, such a matrix is symmetric and thus the number of independent components is further reduced to 21. For small displacements, the mechanical constitutive relation with the stiffness matrix C or with the compliance matrix S reads... 

If an earthquake occurs in a place where the elastic moduh vary spatially, its apparent mechanism will be distorted, and a DC earthquake may appear to have non-DC components. This occurs when the spatial derivatives of Green s functions (strains) appearing in the second term on the right side of... 

The relationship between chitinolytic gene expression and extracellular chitinase activity in individual cells of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas s, strain S91 attached to solid chitin were evaluated likewise, the mutation of active site residues in the chitin-binding domain ChBD(ChiAl) of chitinase Al of Bacillus circulans was found to alter the substrate specificity (Baty et al., 2000 Hardt Laine, 2004). Escherichia co7 expressing recombinant green fluorescent protein was used to test the bactericidal efficacy of a newly synthesized chitosan-Ag nanoparticles that had significantly higher antimicrobial activity than the components at their respective concentrations (Sanpui et al., 2008). 

Two additional properties that may depend on the strain induced crystallization behavior of NR are green strength and building tack. A comparison of the performance of the experimental high trans SBR s with NR was, therefore, carried out.

Alternative methods of analysis have been examined and evaluated. Shokoohi and Elrod[533] solved the Navier-Stokes equations numerically in the axisymmetric form. Bogy15271 used the Cosserat theory developed by Green.[534] Ibrahim and Linl535 conducted a weakly nonlinear instability analysis. The method of strained coordinates was also examined. In spite of the mathematical or computational elegance, all of these methods suffer from inherent complexity. Lee15361 developed a 1 -D, nonlinear direct-simulation technique that proved to be a simple and practical method for investigating the nonlinear instability of a liquid j et. Lee s direct-simulation approach formed the...
