Plane theory

Using the equilibrium equations of the elasticity theory enables one to determine the stress tensor component (Tjj normal to the plane of translumination. The other stress components can be determined using additional measurements or additional information. We assume that there exists a temperature field T, the so-called fictitious temperature, which causes a stress field, equal to the residual stress pattern. In this paper we formulate the boundary-value problem for determining all components of the residual stresses from the results of the translumination of the specimen in a system of parallel planes. Theory of the fictitious temperature has been successfully used in the case of plane strain [2]. The aim of this paper is to show how this method can be applied in the general case.

The validity of single-shear-plane metal cutting theories is being questioned as a result of recent advances in computational mechanics. Astakhov and coworkers [1-3] are justly critical of single-shear-plane theories developed in the 1940s that describe the mechanics of metal cutting at the macroscale. In response to Astakhov s [3] comments that the previous theories do not apply to certain machining operations, the authors of this chapter have conducted a series of finite element analyses... 

The high-index plane theory is supported by the fact that metals which are known to develop high-index planes upon yielding (iron, molybdenum) exhibit considerably higher acceleration of anodic dissolution under stress, than those which develop planes of lower indices as slip planes (nickel, copper). 

Both the protective-film-rupture theory and the high-index-plane theory may be valid for one and the same system, depending on conditions. This has been demonstrated by the behavior of an iron wire strained in an aerated nitrate solution.When straining was done in the active region of potentials, the observed increase of anodic current was of the magnitude expected on the basis of the high-index-plane theory (within a power of 10). However, in the passive region, a 1500-2000-fold increase was observed which can be explained only in terms of the film-rupture mechanism. 

Langmuir adsorption isotherm A theoretical equation, derived from the kinetic theory of gases, which relates the amount of gas adsorbed at a plane solid surface to the pressure of gas in equilibrium with the surface. In the derivation it is assumed that the adsorption is restricted to a monolayer at the surface, which is considered to be energetically uniform. It is also assumed that there is no interaction between the adsorbed species. The equation shows that at a gas pressure, p, the fraction, 0, of the surface covered by the adsorbate is given by ... 

In integrated photoelasticity it is impossible to achieve a complete reconstruction of stresses in samples by only illuminating a system of parallel planes and using equilibrium equations of the elasticity theory. Theory of the fictitious temperature field allows one to formulate a boundary-value problem which permits to determine all components of the stress tensor field in some cases. If the stress gradient in the axial direction is smooth enough, then perturbation method can be used for the solution of the inverse problem. As an example, distribution of stresses in a bow tie type fiber preforms is shown in Fig. 2 [2]. 

IHP) (the Helmholtz condenser formula is used in connection with it), located at the surface of the layer of Stem adsorbed ions, and an outer Helmholtz plane (OHP), located on the plane of centers of the next layer of ions marking the beginning of the diffuse layer. These planes, marked IHP and OHP in Fig. V-3 are merely planes of average electrical property the actual local potentials, if they could be measured, must vary wildly between locations where there is an adsorbed ion and places where only water resides on the surface. For liquid surfaces, discussed in Section V-7C, the interface will not be smooth due to thermal waves (Section IV-3). Sweeney and co-workers applied gradient theory (see Chapter III) to model the electric double layer and interfacial tension of a hydrocarbon-aqueous electrolyte interface [27]. 

Atoms have complete spherical synnnetry, and the angidar momentum states can be considered as different synnnetry classes of that spherical symmetry. The nuclear framework of a molecule has a much lower synnnetry. Synnnetry operations for the molecule are transfonnations such as rotations about an axis, reflection in a plane, or inversion tlnough a point at the centre of the molecule, which leave the molecule in an equivalent configuration. Every molecule has one such operation, the identity operation, which just leaves the molecule alone. Many molecules have one or more additional operations. The set of operations for a molecule fonn a mathematical group, and the methods of group theory provide a way to classify electronic and vibrational states according to whatever symmetry does exist. That classification leads to selection rules for transitions between those states. A complete discussion of the methods is beyond the scope of this chapter, but we will consider a few illustrative examples. Additional details will also be found in section A 1.4 on molecular symmetry. 

The higher-order bulk contribution to the nonlmear response arises, as just mentioned, from a spatially nonlocal response in which the induced nonlinear polarization does not depend solely on the value of the fiindamental electric field at the same point. To leading order, we may represent these non-local tenns as bemg proportional to a nonlinear response incorporating a first spatial derivative of the fiindamental electric field. Such tenns conespond in the microscopic theory to the inclusion of electric-quadnipole and magnetic-dipole contributions. The fonn of these bulk contributions may be derived on the basis of synnnetry considerations. As an example of a frequently encountered situation, we indicate here the non-local polarization for SFIG in a cubic material excited by a plane wave (co) ... 

HMO theory is named after its developer, Erich Huckel (1896-1980), who published his theory in 1930 [9] partly in order to explain the unusual stability of benzene and other aromatic compounds. Given that digital computers had not yet been invented and that all Hiickel s calculations had to be done by hand, HMO theory necessarily includes many approximations. The first is that only the jr-molecular orbitals of the molecule are considered. This implies that the entire molecular structure is planar (because then a plane of symmetry separates the r-orbitals, which are antisymmetric with respect to this plane, from all others). It also means that only one atomic orbital must be considered for each atom in the r-system (the p-orbital that is antisymmetric with respect to the plane of the molecule) and none at all for atoms (such as hydrogen) that are not involved in the r-system. Huckel then used the technique known as linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) to build these atomic orbitals up into molecular orbitals. This is illustrated in Figure 7-18 for ethylene. 

The basis for the familiar non-slip boundary condition is a kinetic theory argument originally presented by Maxwell [23]. For a pure gas Maxwell showed that the tangential velocity v and its derivative nornial to a plane solid surface should be related by... 

How can Equation (11.79) be solved Before computers were available only simple ihapes could be considered. For example, proteins were modelled as spheres or ellipses Tanford-Kirkwood theory) DNA as a uniformly charged cylinder and membranes as planes (Gouy-Chapman theory). With computers, numerical approaches can be used to solve the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. A variety of numerical methods can be employed, including finite element and boundary element methods, but we will restrict our discussion to the finite difference method first introduced for proteins by Warwicker and Watson [Warwicker and Watson 1982]. Several groups have implemented this method here we concentrate on the work of Honig s group, whose DelPhi program has been widely used. 

The theory and appHcation of SF BDV and COV have been studied in both uniform and nonuniform electric fields (37). The ionization potentials of SFg and electron attachment coefficients are the basis for one set of correlation equations. A critical field exists at 89 kV/ (cmkPa) above which coronas can appear. Relative field uniformity is characterized in terms of electrode radii of curvature. Peak voltages up to 100 kV can be sustained. A second BDV analysis (38) also uses electrode radii of curvature in rod-plane data at 60 Hz, and can be used to correlate results up to 150 kV. With d-c voltages (39), a similarity rule can be used to treat BDV in fields up to 500 kV/cm at pressures of 101—709 kPa (1—7 atm). It relates field strength, SF pressure, and electrode radii to coaxial electrodes having 2.5-cm gaps. At elevated pressures and large electrode areas, a faH-off from this rule appears. The BDV properties ofHquid SF are described in thehterature (40—41). 

Several theories have been proposed to explain the corrosion-fatigue phenomena. One is that cyclic stressing causes repeated rupture of protective coatings. Corrosion-fatigue cracks propagate as the coating is successively reformed and ruptured along a plane.
