Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses01:20

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

667
As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Shearing Strain01:20

Shearing Strain

1.9K
The shearing strain represents a cubic element's angular change when subjected to shearing stress. This type of stress can transform a cube into an oblique parallelepiped without influencing normal strains. The cubic element experiences a significant transformation when exposed solely to shearing stress. Its shape alters from a perfect cube into a rhomboid, clearly demonstrating the effect of shearing strain. The degree of this strain is considered positive if it reduces the angle between the...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

807
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Forced Oscillations

6.3K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Problem Solving on Stress and Strain

1.9K
Stress is a quantity that describes the magnitude of a force that causes deformation, generally defined as internal force per unit area. When forces pull on an object and cause its elongation, like the stretching of an elastic band, it is called tensile stress. When forces cause the compression of an object, it is known as compressive stress. When an object is being squeezed uniformly from all sides, like a submarine in the depths of the ocean, we call this kind of stress bulk stress (or volume...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Physics
  • Rheology

Background:

  • Variable-amplitude oscillatory shear tests are increasingly used to study nonlinear rheology in amorphous solids, complex fluids, and biological materials.
  • Recent studies show amorphous solids exhibit amplitude-dependent limit cycles at low shear and chaotic, diffusive behavior at high shear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the physical assumptions of the nonequilibrium thermodynamic, internal-variables based, shear-transformation-zone (STZ) model.
  • To provide a theoretical framework for interpreting variable-amplitude oscillatory shear responses in amorphous solids.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of the STZ model under a variable-amplitude oscillatory shear protocol.
  • Comparison of model predictions with experimental and atomistic simulation data.

Main Results:

  • The STZ model successfully explains the observed transition between dissipative limit cycles and stochastic steady states.
  • The model supports key assumptions, including the role of internal states in flow defects and dissipation-driven structural evolution.
  • The study highlights both the successes and limitations of the STZ model in describing amorphous solid rheology.

Conclusions:

  • The theoretical analysis validates the STZ model's ability to capture complex rheological behaviors in amorphous solids.
  • This work provides a continuum-level framework for understanding and advancing the study of amorphous material response to oscillatory shear.
