Stress general relations

Even if no perceptible motion occurs (see later, however), application of a force leads to microdisplacements of one surface relative to the other and, again, often a large increase in area of contact. The ratio F/W in such an experiment will be called since it does not correspond to either the usual ns or can be related semiempirically to the area change, as follows [38]. We assume that for two solids pressed against each other at rest the area of contact Aq is given by Eq. XII-1, A W/P. However, if shear as well as normal stress is present, then a more general relation for threshold plastic flow is...

Note that the transformed reduced stiffness matrix Qy has terms in all nine positions in contrast to the presence of zeros in the reduced stiffness matrix Qy. However, there are still only four independent material constants because the lamina is orthotropic. In the general case with body coordinates x and y, there is coupling between shear strain and normal stresses and between shear stress and normal strains, i.e., shear-extension coupling exists. Thus, in body coordinates, even an orthotropic lamina appears to be anisotropic. However, because such a lamina does have orthotropic characteristics in principal material coordinates, it is called a generally orthotropic lamina because it can be represented by the stress-strain relations in Equation (2.84). That is, a generally orthotropic lamina is an orthotropic lamina whose principai material axes are not aligned with the natural body axes. 

In Section 2.2, the stress-strain relations (generalized Hooke s law) for anisotropic and orthotropic as well as isotropic materials are discussed. These relations have two commonly accepted manners of expression compliances and stiffnesses as coefficients (elastic constants) of the stress-strain relations. The most attractive form of the stress-strain relations for orthotropic materials involves the engineering constants described in Section 2.3. The engineering constants are particularly helpful in describing composite material behavior because they are defined by the use of very obvious and simple physical measurements. Restrictions in the form of bounds are derived for the elastic constants in Section 2.4. These restrictions are useful in understanding the unusual behavior of composite materials relative to conventional isotropic materials. Attention is focused in Section 2.5 on stress-strain relations for an orthotropic material under plane stress conditions, the most common use of a composite lamina. These stress-strain relations are transformed in Section 2.6 to coordinate systems that are not aligned with the principal material... 

This phenomenon gives us the very important information when we consider the orientation and extensibility of cross-linked molecules under extension. Generally, for the modeling or calculation for the stress-strain relation of cross-hnked molecules, the perfect regular network is adopted a... 

Moreover, we must pay attention to the points that in the cross-linked rubber, the cross-link stops the sliding of molecules and has its own excluded volume. Generally, in the calculation of the stress-strain relation, the four-chain model is used for the cross-link junction and recently the eight-chain model is considered to be more realistic and available. Thus, it is quite reasonable to consider that the bulky excluded volume that a cross-link junction possesses must be a real obstacle for the orientation of molecules, just like the case observed in Figure 18.16B. 

Chapters 3 to 7 treat the aspects of chemical kinetics that are important to the education of a well-read chemical engineer. To stress further the chemical problems involved and to provide links to the real world, I have attempted where possible to use actual chemical reactions and kinetic parameters in the many illustrative examples and problems. However, to retain as much generality as possible, the presentations of basic concepts and the derivations of fundamental equations are couched in terms of the anonymous chemical species A, B, C, U, V, etc. Where it is appropriate, the specific chemical reactions used in the illustrations are reformulated in these terms to indicate the manner in which the generalized relations are employed.

Also, from the general relations between strains and stresses given by Eqs. (4.8) and (4.9), and the additional radial stress 9i(u,z) of Eq. (4.18), the strains in the fiber and matrix at the interface for fiber pull-out are obtained as ... 

Ultimate properties of toughness (energy to rupture), tensile strength, and maximum extensibility are all affected by strain-induced crystallization. In general, the higher the temperature the lower the extent of crystallization and consequently the lower these stress/strain related properties. There is also a parallel result brought about by the presence of increased amounts of diluent since this also discourages stress-related crystallization. 

Figures 29 A and B show the original data from general biaxial extension measurements on the NR sample. Here the measured stresses at and a2 at a series of fixed Xx are plotted against X2. All these values are isochronal (10 min). The graphs have been displayed to illustrate the accuracy of our measurements. In Fig. 30, the observed at are compared with the predictions from other stress-strain relations.

The relationships resulting from the statistical theory fall well short of fully describing the stress strain curves of filled rubbers. From the alternative phenomenological approach a general relation for W is given by ... 

Stress relaxation measurements can be made in compression, shear or tension, but in practice a distinction is made as regards the reason for making the test which is generally related to the mode of deformation. The most important type of product in which stress relaxation is a critical parameter is a seal or gasket. These usually operate in compression and, hence, stress relaxation measurements in compression are used to measure sealing efficiency. 

In this section, an introduction of the general relations of stresses in equilibrium in an infinitely large solid medium is presented, followed by a special application where a concentrated force is acting on a point inside the solid. Also presented is the case of forces on the boundary of a semiinfinite solid medium, which is of importance to the contact of two solid objects. As consequences of the boundary compression, displacements due to the changes of stresses and strains in the region of contact can be linked to the contact force by the Hertzian theory for frictionless contacts and by Mindlin s theory for frictional contacts. For more details on the Hertzian theory for contact, interested readers may refer to books on elasticity [Goldsmith, 1960 Timoshenko and Goodier, 1970 Landau and Lifshitz, 1970].

Here c is the solubility of hydrogen (g-atom H/cm3 metal) when the applied uniaxial stress (equivalent to pressure, see below) is a and c0 is the solubility when the applied stress is zero. The general relation between the applied stress and pressure or the equivalent hydrostatic stress ah, can be written as... 

Many materials, particularly polymers, exhibit both the capacity to store energy (typical of an elastic material) and the capacity to dissipate energy (typical of a viscous material). When a sudden stress is applied, the response of these materials is an instantaneous elastic deformation followed by a delayed deformation. The delayed deformation is due to various molecular relaxation processes (particularly structural relaxation), which take a finite time to come to equilibrium. Very general stress-strain relations for viscoelastic response were proposed by Boltzmann, who assumed that at low strain amplitudes the effects of prior strains can be superposed linearly. Therefore, the stress at time t at a given point in the material depends both on the strain at time t, and on the previous strain history at that point. The stress-strain relations proposed by Boltzmann are [4,39] ... 

If the stresses and strains along three orthogonal axes are considered, then the general stress-strain relation can be written as,... 

The internal stress in plasma polymer films is generally expansive, i.e., the force to expand the film is strained by external compressive stress. According to the concept presented by Yasuda et al. [1], the internal stress in a plasma polymer stems on the fundamental growth mechanisms of plasma polymer formation. A plasma polymer is formed by consecutive insertion of reactive species, which can be viewed as a wedging process. The internal stress is related to how frequently the insertion occurs as well as on the size of inserting species. The both factors are dependent on the operational factors of plasma polymerization. 

Viscosity has been replaced by a generalized form of plastic deformation controlled by the yield stress Cy, which may be determined by compression experiments (e.g.. Fig. 21-117). As showm previously, yield stress is related to deformability of the wet mass and is a function of shear rate, binder viscosity, and surface tension (captured by a bulk... 

By writing these equations in terms of the shear modulus, the form of the stress-elongation relation becomes quite general. Many other network elasticity models also predict stress elongation relations of this form, with different predictions for the shear modulus. For this reason, we refer to Eqs (7.32) and (7.33) as the classical stress-elongation forms. As demonstrated in Fig. 7.3, this classical form describes the small deformation uniaxial data on... 

Again in parallel with stresses, a general relation is...

Construct the most general relation between the stress tensor T and the rate-of-strain tensor e that is linear in e and depends on p. Note when e = 0, the stress is not necessarily isotropic.
