Study Notes
Strain Energy
- Strain energy can be calculated using ( W = \frac{1}{2} F x ) where ( F = kx ) or ( W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2 ).
- Strain energy equates to the area under the force-extension graph.
- Work done is synonymous with strain energy.
Strain Energy per Unit Volume
- Strain energy per unit volume is given by ( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{stress} \times \text{strain} ).
- Volume ( V ) can be expressed as ( V = A \times L ).
- Strain energy per unit volume is linked to area under the stress-strain graph.
Young's Modulus
- Young’s Modulus ( Y ) defines the elasticity in length of materials, represented as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain.
- Tensile stress is external force per area; tensile strain relates the change in length (( \Delta L )) to the original length (L).
- Strain is a dimensionless quantity.
Shear Modulus
- Shear Modulus ( S ) quantifies elasticity regarding shear deformation.
- For small shears, shear stress is proportional to shear strain, similar to Hooke’s Law.
- A high shear modulus indicates a material is hard to bend and doesn't change volume under shear.
Bulk Modulus
- The bulk modulus describes how materials respond to uniform pressure, reflecting volume change without altering shape.
- Volume stress represents pressure and is defined as the force per surface area.
- Volume strain compares the change in volume to the original volume.
Key Relationships
- For uniform bulk stress changes, volume strain is directly proportional to the change in pressure.
- Bulk modulus ( B ) equals negative volume stress divided by volume strain, represented as ( B = -\frac{\Delta P}{\text{Volume strain}} ).
- A large bulk modulus signifies low compressibility, meaning the material is hard to compress.
Examples and Applications
- When a shear force acts on an aluminum cube, the application of shear modulus helps calculate displacement between the faces.
- In practical compressibility scenarios, such as a lead sphere submerged underwater, changes in volume can be calculated using bulk modulus.
Important Notes
- The negative sign in bulk modulus equations indicates that increased pressure results in reduced volume.
- Understanding underlying principles of moduli (Young's, Shear, Bulk) is critical in material science and engineering applications.
