F(FG = normal (shear) component of force A = area u(w) = normal (shear) component of displacement o-(e ) = true tensile stress (nominal tensile strain) t(7) = true shear stress (true engineering shear strain) p(A) = external pressure (dilatation) v = Poisson s ratio = Young s modulus G = shear modulus K = bulk modulus. 

Note that Y represents engineering shear strain whereas (l ) represents tensor shear strain.

The shear modulus n is defined as the ratio of shear stress to engineering shear strain on the loading plane. 

The engineering shear strain = shear strain in the y Oz plane. In contrast, the shear strain e y is the average of the shear strain on the y Oz face along the y direction, and on the xOz face along the X direction. 

Recall that the engineering shear strain was previously given as yij = 2sij. The above stress may also be expressed as being a reverse relation ... 

The symbol I represents the strain invariants analogous to the stress invariants given as J in Eqs. (1.22e) and (1.23). The coefficients in Eq. (1.98c) are the results of the engineering shear strain being ... 

Here we have used the engineering shear strain yxy = 2sxy. The representation of stress and strain given by (2.215) is referred to as the contracted form. 

In equation (3.1) G is the elastic shear modulus and y is one-half the engineering shear strain. This depicts a material for which the stress is proportional to the tensorial strain even though a plastic strain results in the vicinity of an indenter. 

Explain the difference between engineering shear strain and the ten-sorial alternative. 

So the infinitesimal strain tensor is established as a symmetric tensor of second order. With provision for the engineering shear-strain measures aside the diagonal, the components can be assigned as given by the left-hand side of Eqs. (3.20). An alternative representation may be gained by resorting the six independent components into a vector as shown on the right-hand side of Eqs. (3.20) ... 

As visible on the right-hand side of Eqs. (3.22), the transformation of strains does not yet cope with the engineering shear-strain measures introduced in the previous subsection. This can be accomplished, as shown for the planar case by Jones [107], by multiphcation with the correction matrix R ... 

For applications in the field of micro reaction engineering, the conclusion may be drawn that the Navier-Stokes equation and other continuum models are valid in many cases, as Knudsen numbers greater than 10 are rarely obtained. However, it might be necessary to use slip boimdaty conditions. The first theoretical investigations on slip flow of gases were carried out in the 19th century by Maxwell and von Smoluchowski. The basic concept relies on a so-called slip length L, which relates the local shear strain to the relative flow velocity at the wall ... 

The maximum shear strain in engineering units is fb=2/J, which corresponds to the value p(4dc) l in the Frenkel model discussed in Sect. 2.5.1. The relative displacement, xy of adjacent chains shown in Fig. 57 is limited by the maximum value 2/3 for larger displacements the attracting force decreases rapidly and failure is initiated. It is further assumed that A0(tb) [Pg.85]

Systems approach borrowed from the optimization and control communities can be used to achieve various other tasks of interest in multiscale simulation. For example, Hurst and Wen (2005) have recently considered shear viscosity as a scalar input/output map from shear stress to shear strain rate, and estimated the viscosity from the frequency response of the system by performing short, non-equilibrium MD. Multiscale model reduction, along with optimal control and design strategies, offers substantial promise for engineering systems. Intensive work on this topic is therefore expected in the near future. 

The relationships between stress, strain, and viscosity are usually depicted in the so-called rheograms. In the pharmaceutical sciences, typical flow curves are presented, i.e., x = /(y). In the engineering sciences, the viscosity is usually drawn as a function of the shear stress [vj = f(x)]. This is sensible as most viscometers control the shear stress applied rather than the shear strain rate. However, the entity of interest is the viscosity as a function of the shear strain rate [i] = /(y)]. 

Other important parameters are the shear modulus or modulus or rigidity (G), which is the mount s (or other elastomeric components ) ability to resist shear when forces are applied in opposing directions. For instance, there could be engine torque applying a load in a particular direction upon hard acceleration, while simultaneously a road impact force could be applied to the frame in another direction. This quantity is represented by the shear stress (x) over shear strain (e). Finally, the bulk modulus (K) plays a role in these types of components. The bulk modulus describes how a component elastomer will behave under pressure in three dimensions. Volume is considered here and typical units are in gigapascals (GPa). Equation 2.11 describes the bulk modulus mathematically, and Figure 2.7 shows the value graphically. 

Before proceeding, some definitions are useful. Stress is the ratio of the force on a body to the cross-sectional area of the body. The true stress refers to the infinitesimal force per (instantaneous) area, while the engineering stress is the force per initial area. Strain is a measure of the extent of the deformation. Normal strains change the dimensions, whereas shear strains change the angle between two initially perpendicular lines. In correspondence with the true stress, the Cauchy (or Euler) strain is measured with respect to the deformed state, while the Green s (or Lagrange) strain is with respect to the undeformed state.
