Modulus inequality

That Is, show that an orthotropic material can have an apparent Young s modulus that either exceeds or is less than the Young s moduli in both principal material directions. In doing so, derive the conditions for which each type of behavior exists, i.e., derive the inequalities. Plot E E, for some contrived materials that exemplify these relations. 

For any equilibrium, either intra- or inter-molecular, the block of the superoperator X, which is concerned with the eigenvalue —1 of the superoperator F°, is nonpositive. One may rigorously prove this point by using Levy-Hadamard s theorem (e.g. reference 49). It is also necessary to consider that the sum of the moduli of the elements in each of the rows of the matrix X", from equation (118), is not larger than the modulus of the corresponding diagonal element of the K matrix [equation (119)]. The inequality results from the fact that in the basis set of product spin functions the sum of the moduli of the elements in each of the rows of the Y( matrix equals either 0 or 1. In addition, if any of the rows of the Y( matrix has non-zero elements, then the same row in the Y q matrix, where qj = 1 if j = 2 or else qj = 2 if j = 1, contains only zeros. 

Accordingly, the loss compliance function presents a maximum in the frequency domain at lower frequency than the loss relaxation modulus. This behavior is illustrated in Figure 8.18, where the complex relaxation modulus, the complex creep compliance function, and the loss tan 8 for a viscoelastic system with a single relaxation time are plotted. Similar arguments applied to a minimum in tan 8 lead to the inequalities... 

The sign in the right hand part of this expression should be chosen so that Svp (T) > at r < Ti (adiabatic regime) and the opposite inequality should take place at r > Ti (isothermal regime for the Jahn-Teller system s contribution to the elastic modulus). 

In a recent work (Brummelhuis et al. 2001) the stability result has been improved up to charge numbers Z 117, which covers the range of all known elements. Again the proof starts by taking the square of the inequality, because the modulus of the Dirac operator with the Coulomb potential is not easy to handle. However, instead... 

All of the parameters in the Welsz modulus can be measured experimentally. The inequalities in Equations 38 are for effectiveness factors greater than 95% it is best to satisfy these inequalities by at least an order of magnitude (18). Given the general form of the solution to Equation 21 for Langmulr-Hlnshelwood kinetics, which are effectively zero order or greater (15), it seems reasonable to propose that the inequalities in Equation 38 provide a safe estimate of negligible substrate limitations for more complex kinetic expressions. 

Strictly, (4.6.1) should be an inequality stating that the left-hand side is greater than or equal to the right, in which case conditions (4.6.16- 18) become inequalities. These conditions have the same form as the Griffith criterion for crack extension for an elastic body with which is an instantaneous inverse modulus, replacing the elastic inverse modulus. If a unique Poisson s ratio exists, then... 

The amplification factor can have complex values. In that case, the modulus of the complex numbers must satisfy the above inequality, that is. 

The viscosities ti and rs often appear together in problems. Preliminary mathematical results indicate that it may be reasonable to assume T5 > ti for SmC materials, in which case the modulus sign may be omitted in equation (6.255), although acceptance of this inequality should perhaps await experimental confirmation see the elementary argument used to justify this inequality at equation (6.286) in Section 6.3.3. The reader is referred to Carlsson et al [36] for some speculative theoretical suggestions for various SmC viscosity values and restrictions, including some preliminary estimates based upon a comparison with nematic viscosities. It has also been suggested from physical considerations [36] that rs > 0.
