Stress and Strain

Stress and Strain. Deforming Solids. Solids deform when they are subject to forces. Compressed, stretched, bent, twisted They can maintain or lose their shape. Linearly Elastic. For small deformations, solids follow Hooke’s law.

  1. Stress and Strain

  2. Deforming Solids • Solids deform when they are subject to forces. • Compressed, stretched, bent, twisted • They can maintain or lose their shape

  3. Linearly Elastic • For small deformations, solids follow Hooke’s law. • The ratio of the force to the displacement is the spring constant (k). F Dx

  4. Stress • A force on a solid acts on an area. • For compression or tension, the stress s is the ratio of the force to the cross sectional area. • Units are Pa, like pressure. F A

  5. A 60 kg woman takes off a shoe with an area of 130 cm2 and puts on a spiked heel with an area of 0.8 cm2. What stress is placed on the floor? The force is due to weight, about 600 N. The stress with regular shoes is 600 N / 0.013 m2 = 46 kN/m2. The stress with spiked heels is 600 N/0.00008 m2 = 7.5 MN/m2. For comparison that is an increase of from about 7 psi to over 1000 psi! Stiletto Heels

  6. Deformation is relative to the size of an object. The displacement compared to the length is the straine. Strain L DL

  7. Shear Force • Displacement of a solid can follow the surface of a solid. • This is due a shear force. • One can measure a shear stress ss and a shear strain es. F Dx L A (goes into screen)

  8. Volume Stress • Pressure from all sides can change the volume of a solid. • There is a volume stress and volume strain. P DV V A (surface area) next
