Stress equalization

Next suppose we consider the effect of a periodically oscillating stress on a Voigt element of modulus G and viscosity 77. Remember from the last section that for a Voigt element the appUed stress equals the sum of the elastic and viscous responses of the model. Therefore, for a stress which varies periodically, Eq. (3.64) becomes... 

As we press a flat indenter into the material, shear takes place on the 45° planes of maximum shear stress shown in Fig. 11.4, at a value of shear stress equal to k. By equating the work done by the force F as the indenter sinks a distance u to the work done against k on the shear planes, we get ... 

Substituting Equation 4-55 and Equation 4-56 into Equation 4-54 and putting = 0 (tangential stress equals zero in this case), the following formulas are obtained ... 

In particular, it should be noted that the past traditional equations that have been developed for other materials, principally steel, use the relationship that stress equals the modulus times strain, where the modulus is constant. Except for thermoset-reinforced plastics and certain engineering plastics, most plastics do not generally have a constant modulus of elasticity. Different approaches have been used for this non-constant situation, some are quiet accurate. The drawback is that most of these methods are quite complex, involving numerical techniques that are not attractive to the average designers. 

Here a is the normal stress equal to the ratio of the force F to the elementary surface dS, provided that this force has only the component normal to dS ... 

Limitations on Design Pressure, P, in Para. PL-3.7.1 (a). The design pressure obtained by the formula in para. PL-3.7.1(a) shall be reduced to conform to the following P shall not exceed 85% of the mill test pressure for all pipes in the pipeline, provided, however, that pipe, mill tested to a pressure less than 85% of the pressure required to produce a hoop stress equal to the specified minimum yield, may be retested with a mill type hydrostatic test or tested in place after installation. In the event the pipe is retested to a pressure in excess of the mill test pressure, then P shall not exceed 85% of the retest pressure rather than the initial mill test pressure. It is mandatory to use a liquid as the test medium in all tests in place after installation where the test pressure exceeds the mill test pressure. This paragraph is not to be construed to allow an operating pressure or design pressure in excess of that provided for by para. PL-3.7.1(a). 

The calculation of the strength resp. the admissible internal pressure varies with the wall-thickness thick-walled hollow cylinders are calculated by neglecting the radial stress (equal to the pressure) which is small compared to the tangential. On the other side the thick-walled hollow cylinders are calculated with the Lame equations (1833). 

A cavity s maximum storage capacity is almost proportional to its Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP). MAOP is fixed by tightness considerations, which in theory at least, are based on the impermeability (and plasticity limit) of the salt rock to hydrocarbons when pressure remains lower than stresses equal to the weight of the overburden (approximately 0.023 MPa per meter depth). 

Figure 22 shows a typical experimental shear stress chart, obtained for A2, using a compaction with normal stress equal to 1106.2 Pa. Figure 23 shows the corresponding yield locus from which the static angle of internal friction, cp, was worked out from the slope of the yield locus. The cohesion, C, is obtained from the intercept with the shear stress axis. 

Deformation due to stress. Equal to the change in length divided by the initial length. Strain is a second-rank tensor. 

Here are the components of the stress tensor as defined in rheology Tn—T22 is the first normal stress difference and T21 the shear stress, equal to Nt and rxsh, respectively. Hence, from dynamic mechanical measurements it is possible to determine the zero shear first normal stress coefficient Fq0 and zero shear viscosity y0. 

On the other hand a brittle solid may be made ductile by applying hydrostatic pressure. Let us consider a brittle solid, which fails at a tensile stress cr. If a hydrostatic pressure p is applied, the tensile stress necessary for failure is p + a. Associated with this tensile stress is a shear stress equal to Vz(p + cr). If the critical shear stress is less than this, the material will flow in a ductile manner before the tensile stress is large enough to produce brittle failure. 

This result is plotted as a function of m in Fig. 9.2. If a< ac, the composite will creep until the strain is consistent with Eqn. (60) and thereafter no further creep strain will occur. Of course, the noncreeping state will be approached asymptotically. (It should be noted that due to possible fiber failure during the creep transient, the true value for crc may lie below the result given in Eqn. (62).) For an applied composite stress equal to, or exceeding, cre, creep will not disappear with time because all of the fibers will eventually fail and the strain will continue to accumulate. 

It should be noted that at isothropic behaviour the shear stress equals G - (1/3)E when the ratio of the cross-sectional compression to the longitudinal extension (Poisson coefficient) is 0.5. 

As the diagonal elements characterise a normal stress and cancel each other out, the deviator is decisive for the shearing of a fluid element, whilst the term 1/3 SijTkk contains normal stresses equal in all directions, or so-called hydrostatic stresses. The arithmetic mean value of the three normal stresses rkk are known as the average pressure... 

Here (u w )s (u w )max, Z = (z-ds) and Zs = (zs-ds), zs is height of maximum shear stress, and ds is height of region inside canyon with nearly zero shear stress equal Ap. Hence, an empirical fit gives ... 

To form expectations about the material composition, we have to consider its stress state. In Chapter 13, it is established that if the initial state is hydrostatic, with compressive stress equal to everywhere, then introducing the strain rate has two effects first, the stress magnitude... 

Stress equalizing is low temperature stress relieving done to balance stresses in cold worked or machined components such as shafts made of stainless steels or nickel alloys. The objective is to avoid movement in service or subsequent fabrication operations.
