  • Making and Characterizing Negative Poisson's Ratio Materials
    Making and characterizing negative Poisson’s ratio materials R. S. LAKES* and R. WITT**, University of Wisconsin–Madison, 147 Engineering Research Building, 1500 Engineering Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1687, USA. 〈[email protected]〉 Received 18th October 1999 Revised 26th August 2000 We present an introduction to the use of negative Poisson’s ratio materials to illustrate various aspects of mechanics of materials. Poisson’s ratio is defined as minus the ratio of transverse strain to longitudinal strain in simple tension. For most materials, Poisson’s ratio is close to 1/3. Negative Poisson’s ratios are counter-intuitive but permissible according to the theory of elasticity. Such materials can be prepared for classroom demonstrations, or made by students. Key words: Poisson’s ratio, deformation, foam, honeycomb 1. INTRODUCTION Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of lateral (transverse) contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain in a simple tension experiment. The allowable range of Poisson’s ratio ν in three 1 dimensional isotropic solids is from –1 to 2 [1]. Common materials usually have a Poisson’s 1 1 ratio close to 3 . Rubbery materials, however, have values approaching 2 . They readily undergo shear deformations, governed by the shear modulus G, but resist volumetric (bulk) deformation governed by the bulk modulus K; for rubbery materials G Ӷ K. Even though textbooks can still be found [2] which categorically state that Poisson’s ratios less than zero are unknown, or even impossible, there are in fact a number of examples of negative Poisson’s ratio solids. Although such behaviour is counter-intuitive, negative Poisson’s ratio structures and materials can be easily made and used in lecture demonstrations and for student projects.

  • Chapter 14 Solids and Fluids Matter Is Usually Classified Into One of Four States Or Phases: Solid, Liquid, Gas, Or Plasma
    Chapter 14 Solids and Fluids Matter is usually classified into one of four states or phases: solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Shape: A solid has a fixed shape, whereas fluids (liquid and gas) have no fixed shape. Compressibility: The atoms in a solid or a liquid are quite closely packed, which makes them almost incompressible. On the other hand, atoms or molecules in gas are far apart, thus gases are compressible in general. The distinction between these states is not always clear-cut. Such complicated behaviors called phase transition will be discussed later on. 1 14.1 Density At some time in the third century B.C., Archimedes was asked to find a way of determining whether or not the gold had been mixed with silver, which led him to discover a useful concept, density. m ρ = V The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its density to that of water at 4oC, which is 1000 kg/m3=1 g/cm3. Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity. 2 14.2 Elastic Moduli A force applied to an object can change its shape. The response of a material to a given type of deforming force is characterized by an elastic modulus, Stress Elastic modulus = Strain Stress: force per unit area in general Strain: fractional change in dimension or volume. Three elastic moduli will be discussed: Young’s modulus for solids, the shear modulus for solids, and the bulk modulus for solids and fluids. 3 Young’s Modulus Young’s modulus is a measure of the resistance of a solid to a change in its length when a force is applied perpendicular to a face.

  • FORMULAS for CALCULATING the SPEED of SOUND Revision G
    FORMULAS FOR CALCULATING THE SPEED OF SOUND Revision G By Tom Irvine Email: [email protected] July 13, 2000 Introduction A sound wave is a longitudinal wave, which alternately pushes and pulls the material through which it propagates. The amplitude disturbance is thus parallel to the direction of propagation. Sound waves can propagate through the air, water, Earth, wood, metal rods, stretched strings, and any other physical substance. The purpose of this tutorial is to give formulas for calculating the speed of sound. Separate formulas are derived for a gas, liquid, and solid. General Formula for Fluids and Gases The speed of sound c is given by B c = (1) r o where B is the adiabatic bulk modulus, ro is the equilibrium mass density. Equation (1) is taken from equation (5.13) in Reference 1. The characteristics of the substance determine the appropriate formula for the bulk modulus. Gas or Fluid The bulk modulus is essentially a measure of stress divided by strain. The adiabatic bulk modulus B is defined in terms of hydrostatic pressure P and volume V as DP B = (2) - DV / V Equation (2) is taken from Table 2.1 in Reference 2. 1 An adiabatic process is one in which no energy transfer as heat occurs across the boundaries of the system. An alternate adiabatic bulk modulus equation is given in equation (5.5) in Reference 1. æ ¶P ö B = ro ç ÷ (3) è ¶r ø r o Note that æ ¶P ö P ç ÷ = g (4) è ¶r ø r where g is the ratio of specific heats.

  • Adiabatic Bulk Moduli
    8.03 at ESG Supplemental Notes Adiabatic Bulk Moduli To find the speed of sound in a gas, or any property of a gas involving elasticity (see the discussion of the Helmholtz oscillator, B&B page 22, or B&B problem 1.6, or French Pages 57-59.), we need the “bulk modulus” of the fluid. This will correspond to the “spring constant” of a spring, and will give the magnitude of the restoring agency (pressure for a gas, force for a spring) in terms of the change in physical dimension (volume for a gas, length for a spring). It turns out to be more useful to use an intensive quantity for the bulk modulus of a gas, so what we want is the change in pressure per fractional change in volume, so the bulk modulus, denoted as κ (the Greek “kappa” which, when written, has a great tendency to look like k, and in fact French uses “K”), is ∆p dp κ = − , or κ = −V . ∆V/V dV The minus sign indicates that for normal fluids (not all are!), a negative change in volume results in an increase in pressure. To find the bulk modulus, we need to know something about the gas and how it behaves. For our purposes, we will need three basic principles (actually 2 1/2) which we get from thermodynamics, or the kinetic theory of gasses. You might well have encountered these in previous classes, such as chemistry. A) The ideal gas law; pV = nRT , with the standard terminology. B) The first law of thermodynamics; dU = dQ − pdV,whereUis internal energy and Q is heat.

  • Course: US01CPHY01 UNIT – 1 ELASTICITY – I Introduction
    Course: US01CPHY01 UNIT – 1 ELASTICITY – I Introduction: If the distance between any two points in a body remains invariable, the body is said to be a rigid body. In practice it is not possible to have a perfectly rigid body. The deformations are (i) There may be change in length (ii) There is a change of volume but no change in shape (iii) There is a change in shape with no change in volume All bodies get deformed under the action of force. The size and shape of the body will change on application of force. There is a tendency of body to recover its original size and shape on removal of this force. Elasticity: The property of a material body to regain its original condition on the removal of deforming forces, is called elasticity. Quartz fibre is considered to be the perfectly elastic body. Plasticity: The bodies which do not show any tendency to recover their original condition on the removal of deforming forces are called plasticity. Putty is considered to be the perfectly plastic body. Load: The load is the combination of external forces acting on a body and its effect is to change the form or the dimensions of the body. Any kind of deforming force is known as Load. When a body is subjected to a force or a system of forces it undergoes a change in size or shape or both. Elastic bodies offer appreciable resistance to the deforming forces. As a result, work has to be done to deform them. This amount of work is stored in body as elastic potential energy.

  • Compositional Effects on Ideal Shear Strength in Fe-Cr Alloys
    Journal of Alloys and Compounds 720 (2017) 466e472 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Alloys and Compounds journal homepage: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jalcom Compositional effects on ideal shear strength in Fe-Cr alloys * Luis Casillas-Trujillo, Liubin Xu, Haixuan Xu University of Tennessee, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA article info abstract Article history: The ideal shear strength is the minimum stress needed to plastically deform a defect free crystal; it is of Received 8 August 2016 engineering interest since it sets the upper bound of the strength of a real crystal and connects to the Received in revised form nucleation of dislocations. In this study, we have employed spin-polarized density functional theory to 25 March 2017 calculate the ideal shear strength, elastic constants and various moduli of body centered cubic Fe-Cr Accepted 15 May 2017 alloys. We have determined the magnetic ground state of the Fe-Cr solid solutions, and noticed that Available online 17 May 2017 calculations without the correct magnetic ground state would lead to incorrect results of the lattice and elastic constants. We have determined the ideal shear strength along the 〈111〉{110} and 〈111〉{112} slip Keywords: Compositional effects systems and established the relationship between alloy composition and mechanical properties. We 〈 〉 Ideal shear stress observe strengthening in the 111 {110} system as a function of chromium composition, while there is no Density functional theory change in strength in the 〈111〉{112} system. The observed differences can be explained by the response Magnetism of the magnetic moments as a function of applied strain.
