Material Science and Elasticity - Notes

1. Elasticity and Material Properties

- Anisotropic Elasticity: Refers to materials whose properties vary depending on the direction of the applied

- Isotropic vs. Anisotropic:

- Isotropic materials: Properties are the same in all directions.

- Anisotropic materials: Properties differ based on direction.

2. Stress-Strain Relationships

- Hooke's Law: Describes linear elastic behavior in materials under small strains.

- Plane Stress and Plane Strain:

- Plane Stress: Stress is assumed to be zero in one direction (e.g., thin plates).

- Plane Strain: Strain is assumed to be zero in one direction (e.g., long cylinders).

3. Material Symmetry and Elasticity Tensors

- Lame's Constants: Two material-specific constants (lambda and mu) used in elasticity equations.

- Elasticity Tensors:

- Tensors represent stress-strain relationships in materials.

- Major and Minor Symmetry: Tensors exhibit symmetry based on material properties.

- Orthotropic Materials: Materials with three mutually perpendicular planes of symmetry.

- Transversely Isotropic Materials: Properties are isotropic in a plane but vary along the perpendicular ax

4. Strain Energy and Invariance

- Strain Energy: Energy stored in a material due to deformation.

- Invariance:

- Strain energy functions are invariant under certain symmetry transformations.

- Transformation Matrices: Used to analyze material behavior under different orientations.


5. Constitutive Relations and Compliance Matrix

- Constitutive Relations: Define material response to stress in terms of strain.

- Compliance Matrix: Inverse of the stiffness matrix, which relates strain to stress in orthotropic materials.

- Positive Definiteness: Conditions for stability require matrices to be positive definite (all eigenvalues positi

6. Poisson's Ratio and Conditions for Stability

- Poisson's Ratio: Ratio of lateral to longitudinal strain. For stability, it typically satisfies -1 < nu < 0.5.

- Stability Conditions: Matrices must satisfy positive definiteness for physical viability.
