Shear Strain Analysis

After the study of the stresses produced by shear, to obtain the additional deflection we analyze the corresponding strains. The relevant components of the strain are 

On the other hand, the absolute value of the radius of curvature is given by Eq. (17.10), 

The substitution of Eq. (17.57) into the derivative of Eq. (17.53) leads to the following expression 

Finally, from Eqs. (17.40) and (17.48), we obtain the second-order differential equation 

Where G in Eq. (17.59) has been written in terms of the tensile modulus [E = 2G + v) Table 4.1]. Equation (17.60) expresses the additivity of the deformations as the superposition principle indicates. In fact, the second term on the right-hand side represents the additional deflection due to shear It is worth noting the explicit dependence of both the radius of curvature and the deflection on y [see Eq. (17.60)]. For the neutral line, and assuming a rectangular cross section for which I = bd / 1, we obtain

By analogy with Eq. (3.1), we seek a description for the relationship between stress and strain. The former is the shearing force per unit area, which we symbolize as as in Chap. 2. For shear strain we use the symbol y it is the rate of change of 7 that is involved in the definition of viscosity in Eq. (2.2). As in the analysis of tensile deformation, we write the strain AL/L, but this time AL is in the direction of the force, while L is at right angles to it. These quantities are shown in Fig. 3.6. It is convenient to describe the sample deformation in terms of the angle 6, also shown in Fig. 3.6. For distortion which is independent of time we continue to consider only the equilibrium behavior-stress and strain are proportional with proportionality constant G ... 

Shear-stress-shear-strain curves typical of fiber-reinforced epoxy resins are quite nonlinear, but all other stress-strain curves are essentially linear. Hahn and Tsai [6-48] analyzed lamina behavior with this nonlinear deformation behavior. Hahn [6-49] extended the analysis to laminate behavior. Inelastic effects in micromechanics analyses were examined by Adams [6-50]. Jones and Morgan [6-51] developed an approach to treat nonlinearities in all stress-strain curves for a lamina of a metal-matrix or carbon-carbon composite material. Morgan and Jones extended the lamina analysis to laminate deformation analysis [6-52] and then to buckling of laminated plates [6-53]. 

A subsequent analysis [66] also employed this model, with the inclusion of results for the shear strain. The dependence of the viscous effects on initial foam orientation was also noted. Further work [67] on monodisperse wet foams, where is between 0.9069 and 0.9466, demonstrated that, under shear flow, the foam viscosity increased with increasing < > (decreasing liquid content). In contrast, for small deformations, the viscous contribution to the overall stress was found to be independent of liquid content.

It is important to quantify the dynamic viscoelastic properties of the materials. Normally the analysis of these systems is performed using the frequency as the variable, and the relationship between the dynamic parameters and the parameters for step-function suppose the application of an oscillatory shear strain with angular frequency w expressed as ... 

Finally, one of the most useful ways of measuring viscoelastic properties is dynamic mechanical analysis, or DMA. In this type of experiment, an oscillating stress is applied to the sample and the response is measured as a function of the frequency of the oscillation. By using different instruments this frequency can be varied over an enormous range. Actually, the sample is usually stretched a little bit and oscillated about this strain also, the stress necessary to produce an oscillatory strain of a given magnitude is the quantity usually measured. If the sample being oscillated happens to be perfectly elastic, so that its response is instantaneous, then the stress and strain would be completely in-phase. If a sinusoidal shear strain is imposed on the sample we have (Equation 13-72) ... 

It is well known that the elementary theory of beams described above becomes inadequate for beams with transverse dimensions of the same order of magnitude as their length. This section deals with the theory to be applied to thick non-slender beams. This theory appears to be relevant in the context of dynamic mechanical analysis. The first fact to be considered is that when the beam is flexed it experiences a shear stress that provokes a relative sliding of the adjacent transverse sections. As a consequence, the larger the transverse section, the higher is this shear strain. The final effect is an increase in the total deflection of the beam (Fig. 17.5). 

This section incorporates the unpublished work of Palmer and Weaver subsequently the fatigue analysis was included as an integral part of the FMP Shaft Design Guide which Palmer and Weaver compiled. Results are quoted, for brevity the reader is referred to references dealing with the Distortion Energy Theory of Failure (also called deviatoric stress, octahedral, von Mises, or shear strain) for a complete analysis. 

The analysis of mould filling requires rheological and thermal data for the plastic, and the mould dimensions. Polymer manufacturers usually provide shear flow curves at a range of temperatures these can be approximated by a power law relationship over a limited range of shear strain rates. In the days before computer analysis, flow lengths of short shots were determined in spiral test cavities, as a function of the injection pressure. However, the geometry of this constant cross section mould differs so much from most other moulds that the flow lengths in the two types of mould do not correlate well. 

In the capillary and Couette (as well as rotating parallel-plate) geometries, a gradient of shear exists in the radial direction. The cone and plate geometry has the advantage that constant shear strain and shear rate are applied at all radial distances. When the cone angle m is very small, tu- < 0.1 rad, analysis of the equations of motion indicates that the shear stress on the plate is... 

Time-Strain Superposition. The principle of time-strain superposition is essentially the same as that for time-temperature superposition, thou now there is a strain induced shift [acceleration] in the time scale of the material response (7-9). Again, within the context of the KWW function one can write the time-strain shift function as where Yo and y rqjresent the reference and current strains. Similarly, the vertical strain shifts are by=G y / G y). Because the shear strain in the samples is a ftinction of radial portion r and at large deformations the shear stress is not linear in the deformation, the modulus of the material is a function of r. Hence, for the time-strain superposition we followed an isochronal analysis developed by McKenna and Zapas (10) based on tiie elastic scaling analysis of Penn and Kearsley (11,12). In this case we can write ... 

Nonlinear soil behavior Is modeled by the equivalent linear method, In which an approximate nonlinear solution Is obtained by Iterating a linear solution until the soil shear modulus and damping values used In the analysis are compatible with the effective shear strain amplitudes computed at all points in the soil mass system. 

Kinloch(4) observed that the selection of appropriate failure criteria for the prediction of joint strength by conventional analysis is fraught with difficulty. The problem is in understanding the mechanisms of failure of bonded joints, and in assigning the relevant adhesive mechanical properties. Current practice is to use the maximum shear-strain or maximum shear-strain energy as the appropriate failure criterion. However, the failure of practical joints occurs by modes including, or other than, shear failure of the adhesive. This difficulty has led to the application of fracture mechanics to joint failure.

Analysis of the distribution of lifetimes for the bridges can be used to deduce their affect on the shear stress relaxation after a unit shear strain [40]. A similar approach has been used to study the dynamic response of triblock copolymers, adsorbed via their terminal blocks between two parallel plates, when they are subjected to step and sinusoidal shear [41]. 

Among the numerous theoretical approaches to the analysis of the polymeric solutions viscosity anomaly, that is the dependence of ii on g, it can be maiked the three main approaches. The first one connects the anomaly of the viscosity with the influence of the shear strain on the potential energy of the molecular kinetic units transition from the one equilibrium state into another one and gives the analysis of this transition from the point of view of the absolute reactions rates theory (prior work by Glesston [6]). It was proposed, for example, the equation ...
