    Study Notes

    Structural Analysis

    • This is a field of study concerned with calculating deformations and stresses within solid objects subjected to loads.
    • Static analysis: analyzes structures without considering time as a variable.
    • Dynamic analysis: considers time as a variable.

    Basic Equations of Linear Elasticity

    • Involves 15 linear first-order partial differential equations.
    • These equations link the displacement, stress, and strain fields in a 3D solid.
    • Three equations for equilibrium (force balance in each direction: x, y, and z)
    • These equations are fundamental for understanding and predicting how solid materials respond to loads.

    The State of Stress at a Point

    • Stress is the intensity of forces acting within a solid.
    • Represented by a stress vector that acts on a surface cut through the solid.
    • Defined by nine components.
      • Three direct stresses (acting normal to the surface).
      • Six shear stresses (acting parallel to the surface).
    • Different orientations of a surface lead to different stress components.

    Volume Equilibrium

    • Equilibrium is achieved when the sum of all forces acting on a differential volume element is zero.
    • The stress components are functions of spatial coordinates.
    • The body force vector is combined with stress components.

    Stress Vector

    • A limit value that approaches zero as the size of the surface shrinks to an infinitesimal area.
    • Equilibrium conditions hold by enforcing that the sum of forces vanishes.
    • Components of stress vector are expressed using tensor formalism.

    Surface Equilibrium

    • Equilibrium of forces acting on the outer surface which are related to externally applied surface tractions from external stresses.
    • A stress vector t represents the surface tractions.
    • Equilibrium conditions expressed for different directions that must satisfy the conditions imposed by external forces.

    Analysis of the State of Stress at a Point

    • Defines the normal and shear stresses associated with a point/volume element cut from a solid object.
    • Faces of cube/element are oriented in orthogonal directions.
    • The stress components on the faces fully define the state of stress at a point.

    Principal Stresses

    • Defined as the components of stress that cause shearing stress to vanish.
    • Unique directions where the stress components cause no shear.
    • The general equilibrium equation simplifies significantly in the principal directions.

    Rotation of Stresses

    • Stress components in one coordinate system are related to stress components in another coordinate system.
    • Rotation matrix (R) connects stress components resolved in two different coordinate systems.
