Deviator stress

Figure 11 Shear creep of polyethylene (density = 0.950) at different loads after 10 min, and as a function of applied stress. Deviation firm the value of 1.0 indicates a dependence of creep compliance on load.

Mellor and Herring (M2), observing that Eqs. (2) or (5) imply that the Reynolds-stress deviations from Jg 5,y are proportional to the strain rates (and hence that the principal axes of the stress deviation and strain rate are aligned), call these closures Newtonian. Accordingly, we denote them by MVFN. The success of the Newtonian model is remarkable, especially since for even the weakest of turbulent shear flows the principal axes are not aligned (C4). 

The materials in view contain just two atomic species A and B, as in an ideal alloy with no microstructure. Influences on the movement of the two components are shown in Figure 19.1. The upper part of the figure shows six boxes each box represents the response of one of the components to one of the local gradients the three gradients distinguished are of composition, mean stress, and stress deviator, i.e., for a plane n, the difference ((t — mean stress). The rest of the figure, and indeed the whole of the book, is concerned with how to amalgamate these responses. 

Total stress shares into the stress deviator Sy and the spherical stress a. 

Half-Step Deformation. In the discussion of the K-BKZ model, the half-step deformation was covered. Here two sets of data that go beyond what was described above are discussed. First, in the Osaki data shown in Figure 52, it is seen that the DE model with independent alignment fits the shear stress response, but not the normal stress response. Also, the theory without the independent alignment assumption does not fit the shear data. The normal stress deviation from the model prediction is interesting, as this was a special history for which the K-BKZ and... 

For small stresses, we can use the approximation sinha w a in equation (8.3) so that the strain rate is proportional to the applied stress. In this case, the behaviour is linear and viscous. As stresses are small, the deformation is not plastic, but elastic, for there is a restoring force corresponding to the spring element in figure 8.7(a), whereas equation (8.3) describes the dashpot element of the Kelvin model. The behaviour is thus linear viscoelastic. At larger stresses, deviations from linearity occur, although the behaviour is still viscoelastic. 

Use the von Mises yield criterion to decide whether the material yields Can you decide which of the two results is correct Justify your answer In experiments on single crystals, the yield strength of the slip systems was determined as Tc- i = 60 MPa. Use the von Mises yield criterion to check whether a significant amount of slip systems in the polycrystal is activated at the stress value given The Taylor factor is M = 3.1. Calculate the stress deviator a for the given stress state ... 

Here sy are the components of the stress deviator such that sy = ay — Syaukl, Sy are the components of the deviator of the back stress tensor Oy, ao is the initial switching (yield) strength of the material in tension or compression, and A is the as yet undetermined plastic multiplier. 

In the new coordinate system, one essential feature that was not visible in the principal coordinate system became revealed. Namely, an arbitrary stressed state can be viewed as the sum of two tensors the spherical tensor characterizing the equilateral extension or compression and the shear stress deviator tensor. Either of these tensors (or both of than) can be zero. 

In mathematical terms, the system of equations shows the divergence of the stress tensor. For a continuum, the complete dynamic formulation of the mechanical problem requires that the stress tensor be known. Rheology is the discipline of mechanics which deals with the determination of the stress tensor for a given material, whether fluid or solid. In Chapter 7, we introduce some concepts of rheology, or rather rheometiy. This discipline makes use of certain techniques (e.g. the use of rheometers) to determine the relationship that links the stress deviator tensor to the strain tensor or to the strain rate tensor, for a given material. This relationship is called constitutive equation. ... 

For Newtonian fluids the constitutive law is a linear relationship between the stress deviator tensor and the strain rate tensor ... 

The momentum theorem is established by integrating the local equations of motion on domain D, given in Chapter 1, which are written so as to exhibit the stress deviator, I (the fluid is not necessarily Newtonian). We then obtain ... 

The integral of the stress deviator on surface S (last term in equation [2.14]) is the friction force exerted by the outside on the fluid, through the flow surfaces Sj, and on the solid surfaces Ss. In many cases, the friction force exerted through the flow surfaces is equal to zero. This is the case, for instance, when the flow is perpendicular to the throughflow surface. Here, these possible terms are neglected by writing ... 

There are also three equatiorrs of dyrtamics for each value of index / = 1, 2, arrd 3. Equations [2.35] are written using the symbolic notation of the stress deviator, to simplify intermediate calculatiotts. The expression of the stress terrsor for a... 

Now, specific attention is given to the forrrth term, i.e. the rate of energy dissipation. For a Newtonian fluid, bringing the expression of the stress deviator tensor (Chapter 1, Table 1.1) in, the rate of energy dissipation, integrated over the volnme, can be written as ... 

The convention used is that the stress deviators have the same sign as pressure that is, positive in compression and negative in tension. This convention is the reverse of that used by many workers in the field.

The Lagrangian conservation equations in two dimensions for slabs, cylinders, and spheres are given below. The sign conventions of the stress deviators are reversed from those of Appendix A to be negative in compression and positive in tension so cr = P — Sxx and mass equation is automatically satisfied. The conservation of momentum equation is... 

For free surfaces, the pressure and stress deviators in the cell adjacent to the boundary are set to the negative value of the state values in the boundary cell. For piston boundaries, the pressure in the adjacent cell is set equal to the piston pressure. For continuum boundaries the pressure and stress deviators in the adjacent cell are set equal to the values in the boundary cell. For axis boundaries the pressures and stress deviators in the adjacent cell across the axis are set equal to the values in axis cells adjacent to the axis. The coordinates of the cells adjacent to the boundary cells are calculated by linear extrapolation.
