Problems of elasto-statics 2. Nonlinear elasto-statics: classification Origins of nonlinearity of elasticity problems: Geometrical nonlinearity: also called kinematic nonlinearity for large displacements and/or large deformations Material nonlineraity: also called physical nonlinearity due to constitutive laws (nonlinear materials). Classification: Material nonlinearity + geometrical linearity: use “small deformations” theory, iterate on material nonlinearity Large displacements + small deformations: big shifts and rotations as a rigid body, but small deformations. Use nonlinear kinematics (Green or Almansi strain). Linear constitutive law (e.g. Hooke’s law) can be used. Large displacements + large deformations: need nonlinear kinematics (Green or Almansi strain) and nonlinear constitutive law (non-linear material). AleˇsJanka VI. Problems of elasto-statics 2.

  • Knowledge Assessment in Statics: Concepts Versus Skills
    Session 1168 Knowledge Assessment in Statics: Concepts versus skills Scott Danielson Arizona State University Abstract Following the lead of the physics community, engineering faculty have recognized the value of good assessment instruments for evaluating the learning of their students. These assessment instruments can be used to both measure student learning and to evaluate changes in teaching, i.e., did student-learning increase due different ways of teaching. As a result, there are significant efforts underway to develop engineering subject assessment tools. For instance, the Foundation Coalition is supporting assessment tool development efforts in a number of engineering subjects. These efforts have focused on developing “concept” inventories. These concept inventories focus on determining student understanding of the subject’s fundamental concepts. Separately, a NSF-supported effort to develop an assessment tool for statics was begun in the last year by the authors. As a first step, the project team analyzed prior work aimed at delineating important knowledge areas in statics. They quickly recognized that these important knowledge areas contained both conceptual and “skill” components. Both knowledge areas are described and examples of each are provided. Also, a cognitive psychology-based taxonomy of declarative and procedural knowledge is discussed in relation to determining the difference between a concept and a skill. Subsequently, the team decided to focus on development of a concept-based statics assessment tool. The ongoing Delphi process to refine the inventory of important statics concepts and validate the concepts with a broader group of subject matter experts is described. However, the value and need for a skills-based assessment tool is also recognized.

  • On the Geometric Character of Stress in Continuum Mechanics
    Z. angew. Math. Phys. 58 (2007) 1–14 0044-2275/07/050001-14 DOI 10.1007/s00033-007-6141-8 Zeitschrift f¨ur angewandte c 2007 Birkh¨auser Verlag, Basel Mathematik und Physik ZAMP On the geometric character of stress in continuum mechanics Eva Kanso, Marino Arroyo, Yiying Tong, Arash Yavari, Jerrold E. Marsden1 and Mathieu Desbrun Abstract. This paper shows that the stress field in the classical theory of continuum mechanics may be taken to be a covector-valued differential two-form. The balance laws and other funda- mental laws of continuum mechanics may be neatly rewritten in terms of this geometric stress. A geometrically attractive and covariant derivation of the balance laws from the principle of energy balance in terms of this stress is presented. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Keywords. Continuum mechanics, elasticity, stress tensor, differential forms. 1. Motivation This paper proposes a reformulation of classical continuum mechanics in terms of bundle-valued exterior forms. Our motivation is to provide a geometric description of force in continuum mechanics, which leads to an elegant geometric theory and, at the same time, may enable the development of space-time integration algorithms that respect the underlying geometric structure at the discrete level. In classical mechanics the traditional approach is to define all the kinematic and kinetic quantities using vector and tensor fields. For example, velocity and traction are both viewed as vector fields and power is defined as their inner product, which is induced from an appropriately defined Riemannian metric. On the other hand, it has long been appreciated in geometric mechanics that force should not be viewed as a vector, but rather a one-form.

  • Newtonian Mechanics Is Most Straightforward in Its Formulation and Is Based on Newton’S Second Law
    CLASSICAL MECHANICS D. A. Garanin September 30, 2015 1 Introduction Mechanics is part of physics studying motion of material bodies or conditions of their equilibrium. The latter is the subject of statics that is important in engineering. General properties of motion of bodies regardless of the source of motion (in particular, the role of constraints) belong to kinematics. Finally, motion caused by forces or interactions is the subject of dynamics, the biggest and most important part of mechanics. Concerning systems studied, mechanics can be divided into mechanics of material points, mechanics of rigid bodies, mechanics of elastic bodies, and mechanics of fluids: hydro- and aerodynamics. At the core of each of these areas of mechanics is the equation of motion, Newton's second law. Mechanics of material points is described by ordinary differential equations (ODE). One can distinguish between mechanics of one or few bodies and mechanics of many-body systems. Mechanics of rigid bodies is also described by ordinary differential equations, including positions and velocities of their centers and the angles defining their orientation. Mechanics of elastic bodies and fluids (that is, mechanics of continuum) is more compli- cated and described by partial differential equation. In many cases mechanics of continuum is coupled to thermodynamics, especially in aerodynamics. The subject of this course are systems described by ODE, including particles and rigid bodies. There are two limitations on classical mechanics. First, speeds of the objects should be much smaller than the speed of light, v c, otherwise it becomes relativistic mechanics. Second, the bodies should have a sufficiently large mass and/or kinetic energy.

  • Leonhard Euler - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 14
    Leonhard Euler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 14 Leonhard Euler From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Leonhard Euler ( German pronunciation: [l]; English Leonhard Euler approximation, "Oiler" [1] 15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a pioneering Swiss mathematician and physicist. He made important discoveries in fields as diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory. He also introduced much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, particularly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function.[2] He is also renowned for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, and astronomy. Euler spent most of his adult life in St. Petersburg, Russia, and in Berlin, Prussia. He is considered to be the preeminent mathematician of the 18th century, and one of the greatest of all time. He is also one of the most prolific mathematicians ever; his collected works fill 60–80 quarto volumes. [3] A statement attributed to Pierre-Simon Laplace expresses Euler's influence on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is our teacher in all things," which has also been translated as "Read Portrait by Emanuel Handmann 1756(?) Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all." [4] Born 15 April 1707 Euler was featured on the sixth series of the Swiss 10- Basel, Switzerland franc banknote and on numerous Swiss, German, and Died Russian postage stamps. The asteroid 2002 Euler was 18 September 1783 (aged 76) named in his honor. He is also commemorated by the [OS: 7 September 1783] Lutheran Church on their Calendar of Saints on 24 St. Petersburg, Russia May – he was a devout Christian (and believer in Residence Prussia, Russia biblical inerrancy) who wrote apologetics and argued Switzerland [5] forcefully against the prominent atheists of his time.

    Lab 10: Statics and Torque Lab Objectives: • To understand torque • To be able to calculate the torque created by a force and the net torque on an object • To understand the conditions for static equilibrium Equipment: • Meter stick balance • Mass hangers • Masses • Spring scale • Meter stick for measurement • Two bathroom scales Exploration 1 Balance At your lab table is a meter stick to which masses can be added. Balance the meter stick (parallel to the table) on the pivot without any mass hangers or masses on either side of the pivot. The meter stick may not balance at the exact middle of the meter stick. However, when it is balanced, there is an equal amount of mass on each side of the meter stick. This will be our starting position. Exploration 1.1 Add masses to each side of the rod so that the rod does not rotate, but is balanced (parallel to the table). In particular, add two masses to one side and one mass to the other side. Is there more than one arrangement that will balance the rod? Explain. 1 Exploration 1.2 Consider a meter stick balance that is free to rotate, as in the picture below. If the following arrangement of masses were placed on the meter stick while someone was holding it level, then the meter stick was released, would the meter stick remain balanced? Show any calculations and explain. Exploration 1.3 For the case in Exploration 1.2, determine the total force upwards and the total force downwards. Draw a force diagram for the rod.

  • Molecular Statics Study of Depth-Dependent Hysteresis in Nano-Scale Adhesive Elastic Contacts
    Molecular statics study of depth-dependent hysteresis in nano-scale adhesive elastic contacts Weilin Deng and Haneesh Kesari z School of Engineering, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912-0936, USA E-mail: haneesh [email protected] March 2017 Abstract. The contact force{indentation-depth (P -h) measurements in adhesive contact experiments, such as atomic force microscopy, display hysteresis. In some cases, the amount of hysteretic energy loss is found to depend on the maximum indentation- depth. This depth-dependent hysteresis (DDH) is not explained by classical contact theories, such as JKR and DMT, and is often attributed to surface moisture, material viscoelasticity, and plasticity. We present molecular statics simulations that are devoid of these mechanisms, yet still capture DDH. In our simulations, DDH is due to a series of surface mechanical instabilities. Surface features, such as depressions or protrusions, can temporarily arrest the growth or recession of the contact area. With a sufficiently large change of indentation-depth, the contact area grows or recedes abruptly by a finite amount and dissipates energy. This is similar to the pull-in and pull-off instabilities in classical contact theories, except that in this case the number of instabilities depends on the roughness of the contact surface. Larger maximum indentation-depths result in more surface features participating in the load-unload process, resulting in larger hysteretic energy losses. This mechanism is similar to the one recently proposed by one of the authors using a continuum mechanics-based model. However, that model predicts that the hysteretic energy loss always increases with roughness, whereas experimentally it is found that the hysteretic energy loss initially increases but then later decreases with roughness.

  • Fundamental Governing Equations of Motion in Consistent Continuum Mechanics
    Fundamental governing equations of motion in consistent continuum mechanics Ali R. Hadjesfandiari, Gary F. Dargush Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14260 USA [email protected], [email protected] October 1, 2018 Abstract We investigate the consistency of the fundamental governing equations of motion in continuum mechanics. In the first step, we examine the governing equations for a system of particles, which can be considered as the discrete analog of the continuum. Based on Newton’s third law of action and reaction, there are two vectorial governing equations of motion for a system of particles, the force and moment equations. As is well known, these equations provide the governing equations of motion for infinitesimal elements of matter at each point, consisting of three force equations for translation, and three moment equations for rotation. We also examine the character of other first and second moment equations, which result in non-physical governing equations violating Newton’s third law of action and reaction. Finally, we derive the consistent governing equations of motion in continuum mechanics within the framework of couple stress theory. For completeness, the original couple stress theory and its evolution toward consistent couple stress theory are presented in true tensorial forms. Keywords: Governing equations of motion, Higher moment equations, Couple stress theory, Third order tensors, Newton’s third law of action and reaction 1 1. Introduction The governing equations of motion in continuum mechanics are based on the governing equations for systems of particles, in which the effect of internal forces are cancelled based on Newton’s third law of action and reaction.

  • Equations of Static Equilibrium
    49 FREE BODY DIAGRAMS (FBDs) Learning Objectives 1). To inspect the supports of a rigid body in order to determine the nature of the reactions, and to use that information to draw a free body diagram (FBD). Force/Moment Classifications External Forces/Moments: applied forces/moments which are typically known or prescribed (e.g., forces/moments due to cables springs, gravity, etc.). Reaction Forces/Moments: constraining forces/moments at supports intended to prevent motion (usually nonexistent unless system is externally loaded). Free Body Diagram (FBD) Free Body Diagram (FBD): a graphical sketch of the system showing a coordinate system, all external/reaction forces and moments, and key geometric dimensions. Benefits: 1). Provides a coordinate system to establish a solution methodology. 2). Provides a graphical display of all forces/moments acting on the rigid body. 3). Provides a record of geometric dimensions needed for establishing moments of the forces. 50 STATIC EQUILIBRIUM OF RIGID BODIES (2-D) Learning Objectives 1). To evaluate the unknown reactions holding a rigid body in equilibrium by solving the equations of static equilibrium. 2). To recognize situations of partial and improper constraint, as well as static indeterminacy, on the basis of the solvability of the equations of static equilibrium. Newton’s First Law Given no net force, a body at rest will remain at rest (and a body moving at a constant velocity will continue to do so along a straight path). Definitions Zero-Force Members: structural members that support no loading but aid in the stability of the truss. Two-Force Members: structural members that are: a) subject to no applied or reaction moments, and b) are loaded only at two pin joints along the member.

Is there least action principle in stochastic dynamics? Qiuping A. Wang Institut Supérieur des Matériaux et Mécaniques Avancées du Mans, 44 Av. Bartholdi, 72000 Le Mans, France Abstract On the basis of the work showing that the maximum entropy principle for equilibrium mechanical system is a consequence of the principle of virtual work, i.e., the virtual work of random forces on a mechanical system should vanish in thermodynamic equilibrium, we present in this paper a development of the same principle for the dynamical system out of equilibrium. One of the objectives of the present work is to justify a least action principle we postulated previously for stochastic mechanical systems.
