Isotropic material plane stress state

Assumptions of the model (a) plane stress state, (b) The surrounding rocks are uniform and elastic isotropic materials, (c) the fault is assumed as contact element with no thickness., and (d) Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is chosen for rocks. 

In the case of most nonporous minerals at sufficiently low-shock stresses, two shock fronts form. The first wave is the elastic shock, a finite-amplitude essentially elastic wave as indicated in Fig. 4.11. The amplitude of this shock is often called the Hugoniot elastic limit Phel- This would correspond to state 1 of Fig. 4.10(a). The Hugoniot elastic limit is defined as the maximum stress sustainable by a solid in one-dimensional shock compression without irreversible deformation taking place at the shock front. The particle velocity associated with a Hugoniot elastic limit shock is often measured by observing the free-surface velocity profile as, for example, in Fig. 4.16. In the case of a polycrystalline and/or isotropic material at shock stresses at or below HEL> the lateral compressive stress in a plane perpendicular to the shock front... 

If a diacid is mixed with the glycidyl terminated rigid rod monomer the reaction is much slower. The resulting cured material will exhibit a smectic phase with high values of isotropization enthalpy. If stressed above Tg, the smectic planes will orient, and macroscopically this implies a transition from an opaque state to a transparent state for the anisotropic film. The oriented polymer will relax back to the unoriented state if heated above Tg. No double peak exotherm can be observed by DSC analysis, since at the reaction temperature the forming thermoset is above its isotropization temperature. 

One property of second-order tensors such as stress and strain is that one can identify certain principal planes on which extreme values of the magnitudes occur. In general, complex, three-dimensional stress states such as shown in Fig. Ic can be resolved into principal stresses as shown in the same figure. Maximum and minimum normal stresses occur on these principal planes where shear stresses vanish. These principal stresses (or strains) are of significant importance in several failure criteria for homogeneous, isotropic materials [ 16], and may be important in the failure of adhesives as well [17]. Because of the natural planes associated with the bond plane, however, normal and shear stresses acting on these bond planes are often examined and reported in adhesion-related literature. 

The asymptotic stress state near the apex of dissimilar bonded wedges (i.e. interface comer) for plane stress or strain, when the wedge materials are isotropic and linear elastic, has the form... 

Recall that the Hooke s law for an isotropic material remains the same regardless of the orientation of the stress element being considered. For example, if the state of plane stress is known at a point in the (jc, y) plane (i.e., o, Oy, is known at a point), the state of strain at the point (e, e, %y) can be determined using Equation 8.34. Similarly, if we know the stress Oy, relative to a new set of coordinates (x, y ) rotated relative to the (x, y) axes, the strains ey, can be determined using the... 

The borehole is assumed to be infinitely long and inclined with respect to the in-situ three-dimensional state of stress. The axis of the borehole is assumed to be perpendicular to the plane of isotropy of the transversely isotropic formation. Details of the problem geometry, boundary conditions and solutions for the stresses, pore pressure and temperature are available in [7], The solution is applied to assess the thermo-chemical effects on stresses and pore pressures. Both the formation pore fluid and the wellbore fluid are assumed to comprise of two chemical species, i.e., a solute fraction and solvent fraction. The formation material properties are those of a Gulf of Mexico shale [7] given as E = 1853.0 MPa u = 0.22 B = 0.92 k = 10-4 md /r = 10-9 MPa.s Ch = 8.64 x 10-5 m2/day % = 0.9 = 0.14 cn = 0.13824 m2/day asm = 6.0 x 10-6 1°C otsf = 3.0 x 10-4 /°C. A simplified example is considered wherein the in-situ stress gradients are assumed to be trivial and pore pressure gradients of the formation fluid and wellbore fluid are assumed to be = 9.8 kPa/m. The difference between the formation temperature and the wellbore fluid temperature is assumed to be 50°C. The solute concentration in the pore fluid is assumed to be more than that in the wellbore fluid such that mw — mf> = —1-8 x 10-2. 

It is assumed that the material possesses three mutually orthogonal planes of symmetry, whose lines of intersection are the axes 0.x, Oy, Or, used to define the components of stress. The parameters, F, G, H, L, M, N characterise the anisotropy, and in the limit of vanishing anisotropy L- M N - ll2k and eqn. (7) reverts to the Hencky-von Mises eqn. (1). The anisotropy is therefore treated as a perturbation on the normal isotropic behaviour. Equation (7) follows (1) in stating that yield is independent of the hydrostatic component of stress, p = — +Cy+and also that the tensile and compressive yield stresses are equal. These two points will be examined further below. 

If the substrate is to be maintained in a stress-free state, the components /i and /2 must act on film edges defined by planes normal to the x and X2 directions, respectively, while the component /e represents the shear force inducing shear deformation between these two directions. If the film material is homogeneous and if the mismatch strain is uniform through the thickness then the integrands in (3.72) are independent of xs and the force expressions reduce to fi = Furthermore, if the film material is isotropic and the... 

Unless otherwise stated it is now assumed that, in addition to the condition of axisymmetry, planes normal to the axial direction will remain plane (plane strain) and all the properties are isotropic. Thus there will be only three components of stress, tr, (Tj, and cr, which will be referred to generally as a. Both the fuel and the cladding material are subjected to a number of complex interacting physical phenomena thermal gradients, elastic strains, plastic flow, creep deformation, and, most important of all, the volume changes induced by radiation.
