Shear constants

A straightforward estimate of the maximum hardness increment can be made in terms of the strain associated with mixing Br and Cl ions. The fractional difference in the interionic distances in KC1 vs. KBr is about five percent (Pauling, 1960). The elastic constants of the pure crystals are similar, and average values are Cu = 37.5 GPa, C12 = 6 GPa, and C44 = 5.6 GPa. On the glide plane (110) the appropriate shear constant is C = (Cu - C12)/2 = 15.8 GPa. The increment in hardness shown in Figure 9.5 is 14 GPa. This corresponds to a shear flow stress of about 2.3 GPa. which is about 17 percent of the shear modulus, or about C l2n.

The elastic shear constant, ci - C 2, as obtained in the Bond Orbital Approximation of Eq. (8-14), as obtained by Sokcl (1976) and including the bonding-antibonding matrix elements from perturbation theory, and experimental values all are in units of 10 erg/enr ... 

We see immediately that these residual displacements have components along the bonds so that, in contrast with the Ci, — c,2 shear, the radial interaction contributes to the shear constant. This is the second complication. 

The resulting Lennard-Jones interaction could then be used to predict the elastic shear constants and other mechanical properties of the compounds. 

The observed elastic shear constant C44 of aluminum is 2,8 x 10" crg/cm, whereas the electrostatic contribution is 14.8 x 10" erg/cm (Harrison, 1966a, p, 179 the value there was based upon an effective charge 7.9 percent larger tlian the 3,0 appropriate here). The band-structure energy is an estimate of the difference, —12.0 x 10" crg/cm. Even if we sum all terms, the result is approximate because of the neglect ofterms of higher order than two and the use of an approximate pscudopoteiitial. We obtain the effect of the nearest lattice wave numbers here. 

These coefficients, along with the shear viscosity rj = cyii/y, often approach constant values at low shear rates these are called the zero-shear values, rjo, 4>i,o, and 4 2,o- Figure 1-9 shows for a polyethylene melt that the zero-shear constant values of rj r]o and 4 1 — 4/1,0 are approached at low shear rates. For a viscoelastic simple liquid with fading memory, the zero-shear values of the viscosity and first normal stress coefficient are related to the zero-frequency values of the dynamic moduli by... 

In Chapter 7 we discussed changes in energy associated with small uniform changes in the volume of a system the bulk modulus is an elastic constant that, describes the rigidity of the system against such compressions. We now extend the discussion to uniform distortions that lower the symmetry of the system the rigidity of the system against these distortions is described by shear constants. 

A plot of the experimental shear constants compiled by Martin (1970), against the predictions by Eq. (8-15). No experimental parameters (except bond length d) enter. Note both the experimental and theoretical values for diamond were scaled by 1/10 to bring that point into the figure.

Accurate ab initio methods for the calculation of elastic constants have been developed (Christensen 1984b), and a few calculations have been done for some cubic lanthanide and actinide systems (Soderlind etal. 1993, Wills etal. 1992). The tetragonal shear constant, C, is calculated as the second derivative of the total energy as a function of small tetragonal distortions. That is, the unit cell is stretched or compressed along the z-axis, while the cube edges in the x- and y-directions are varied equally by the amount necessary to conserve the volume of the unit cell. Both the bcc and fee structures may be considered to be body centred tetragonal (bet) with...
