(trac3on) A τ = lim F / A A 0 B Trac3on vectors can be added as vectors C A trac3on vector can be resolved into normal (τ n ) and shear (τ s ) components 1 A normal trac3on (τ n ) acts perpendicular to a plane 2 A shear trac3on (τ s ) acts parallel to a plane D Local reference frame 1 The n- axis is normal to the plane 2 The s- axis is parallel to the plane Stress Vector 11/6/15 GG

3 II Stress at a point (cont.) A Stresses refer to balanced internal "forces (per unit area)". They differ from force vectors, which, if unbalanced, cause accelera3ons B "On - in conven3on": The stress component σ ij acts on the plane normal to the i- direc3on and acts in the j- direc3on 1 Normal stresses: i=j 2 Shear stresses: i j Stress at a Point 11/6/15 GG611 5 Stress at a Point II Stress at a point C Dimensions of stress: force/unit area D Conven3on for stresses 1 Tension is posi3ve 2 Compression is nega3ve 3 Follows from on- in conven3on 4 Consistent with most mechanics books 5 Counter to most geology books 11/6/15 GG

5 Cauchy s formula II Cauchy s formula (cont.) C τ i = n j σ ji 1 Meaning of terms a τ i = trac3on component b n j = direc3on cosine of angle between n- direc3on and j- direc3on c σ ji = stress component d τ i and σ ji act in the same direc3on n j = cosθ nj 11/6/15 GG303 9 Cauchy s formula II Cauchy s formula (cont.) D Expansion (2D) of τ i = n j σ ji 1 τ x = n x σ xx + n y σ yx 2 τ y = n x + n y n j = cosθ nj 11/6/15 GG

6 II Cauchy s formula (cont.) E Deriva3on: Contribu3ons to τ x Cauchy s formula Note that all contribu3ons must act in x- direc3on τ x = w ( 1) σ xx + w ( 2) σ yx F x A n = A x A n ( 1) F x + A y A x τ x = n x σ xx + n y σ yx A n ( 2) F x A y n x = cosθ nx n y = cosθ ny 11/6/15 GG II Cauchy s formula (cont.) E Deriva3on: Contribu3ons to τ y Cauchy s formula Note that all contribu3ons must act in y- direc3on τ y = w ( 3) + w ( 4) F y A n = A x A n ( 3) F y + A y A x τ y = n x + n y A n ( 4) F y A y n x = cosθ nx n y = cosθ ny 11/6/15 GG

F Alterna3ve forms 1 τ i = n j σ ji 2 τ i = σ ji n j Cauchy s formula 3 τ x τ y τ z σ xx σ yx σ zx = σ xz σ yz σ zz n x n y n z n j = cosθ nj 11/6/15 GG Principal Stresses III Principal Stresses (these have magnitudes and orienta3ons) A Principal stresses act on planes which feel no shear stress B The principal stresses are normal stresses. C Principal stresses act on perpendicular planes D The maximum, intermediate, and minimum principal stresses are usually designated σ 1, σ 2, and σ 3, respec3vely. E Principal stresses have a single subscript. 11/6/15 GG

8 III Principal Stresses (cont.) F Principal stresses represent the stress state most simply Principal Stresses G σ ij = σ σ 2 2- D 2 components H σ σ ij = 0 σ σ 3 3- D 3 components * If σ 1 = σ 2 = σ 3, the state of stress is called isotropic. This occurs beneath a s3ll body of water. 11/6/15 GG Principal Stresses III Principal stresses (eigenvectors and eigenvalues) A B C τ x τ y τ x τ y σ xx = τ n x n y = σ xx σ yx σ yy σ yx n x n y Let λ = τ = λ n x n y n x n y The form of (C ) is [A][X]=λ[X], and [σ] is symmetric 11/6/15 GG

9 Principal Stresses 1 [σ][x]=τ[x] 2 This is an eigenvalue problem (e.g., [A][X]=λ[X]) A [σ] is a stress tensor (represented as a square matrix) B τ is a scalar C [X] is a vector D [X], [σ][x], and τ[x] all point in the same direc3on 3 Solving for [X] yields vectors that do not rotate Principal stresses are normal stresses and are mutually perpendicular 11/6/15 GG Principal Values (eigenvalues) and Principal Direc3ons (eigenvectors) Mathema'cs 1 [σ][x] = τ[x] (Eigenvector equa3on) 4 Since [σ] = [σ] T, X i X j = 0 Meaning For solu3ons of (1), [X] (eigenvector) is not rotated by If [F] is symmetric, then its eigenvectors are perpendicular 11/6/15 GG

10 Principal Values (eigenvalues) and Principal Direc3ons (eigenvectors) Mathema'cs 1 [σ][x] = τ[x] (Eigenvector equa3on) 5 d(x X) = 0!X dx = 0 Meaning Max/min lengths of λx are where X and its tangent(s) dx are perpendicular, so eigenvectors are also in direc3ons of maxima and minima 11/6/15 GG Principal Values (eigenvalues) and Principal Direc3ons (eigenvectors) Mathema'cs 1 [σ][x] = τ[x] (Eigenvector equa3on) 6 Solving for τ yields the principal stress magnitudes (Most tensile σ 1, Intermediate σ 2, least tensile σ 3 ) σ ij = σ xx σ yx σ σ 2 σ xx σ xz σ σ ij = σ yx σ yz 0 σ 2 0 σ zx σ zy σ zz 0 0 σ 3 11/6/15 GG
