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.
