  1. Elastic Properties of SolidsTopics Discussed in Kittel,Ch. 3, pages 73-85 To understand this cartoon, you have to be a physicist, but you must also understand a little about baseball!

  2. Analysis of Elastic Strains Ref: L.D.Landau, E.M.Lifshitz, “Theory of Elasticity”, Pergamon Press (59/86) Continuum approximation: good for λ > 30A. Description of deformation (Cartesian coordinates): Displacement vector field u(r). Material point Nearby point = strain tensor = linear strain tensor

  3. Dilation uik is symmetric → diagonalizable →  principal axes such that (no summation over i ) →  Fractional volume change   Trace of uik

  4. Stress Total force acting on a volume element inside solid  f force density Newton’s 3rd law → internal forces cancel each other → only forces on surface contribute This is guaranteed if σ stress tensor so that σik ith component of force acting on the surface element normal to the xk axis. Moment on volume element  Only forces on surface contribute → (σ is symmetric)

  5. Elastic Compliance & Stiffness Constants σ and u are symmetric → they have at most 6 independent components Compact index notations (i , j) → α : (1,1) → 1, (2,2) → 2, (3,3) → 3, (1,2) = (2,1) → 4, (2,3) = (3,2) → 5, (3,1) = (1,3) → 6 Elastic energy density: i , j , k, l = 1,2,3 α , β = 1,2,…,6 21 where  elastic stiffness constants  elastic modulus tensor uik& uki treated as independent Stress: S αβ elastic compliance constants

  6. Elastic Stiffness Constants for Cubic Crystals Invariance under reflections xi → –xi C with odd numbers of like indices vanishes Invariance under C3 , i.e.,  All C i j k l = 0 except for (summation notation suspended):

  7. where

  8. Bulk Modulus & Compressibility Uniform dilation: δ = Tr uik = fractional volume change B = Bulk modulus = 1/κ κ = compressibility See table 3 for values of B & κ .

  9. Elastic Waves in Cubic Crystals Newton’s 2nd law: don’t confuse ui with uα →  Similarly

  10. Dispersion Equation → dispersion equation

  11. Waves in the [100] direction → Longitudinal Transverse, degenerate

  12. Waves in the [110] direction → Lonitudinal Transverse Transverse
