The compoets j of the uit ormal are the directio cosies betwee ad the coordiate aes. Fi Fi A1 Fi A Fi A3 d = + + A A A A A A A 1 3 This represets the physics directly 3 The tractio compoet that acts i the i-directio reflects the cotributio of the stresses that act i that directio. 4 Note that the j's "cacel out" i equatio II. 5 Note that the subscripts o the τ ad the differ 6 σ is symmetric (σij =σ ji ), so C τi = σij j Stadard form of Cauchy s formula 1 The subscript j's still "cacel out" The subscripts o the τ ad the still differ 3 Easier(?) to remember tha Full epasio τi = σji j τi = σ ij j τ1 = σ σ1 + σ31 3 = σ σ1 + σ13 3 τ = σ1 1 + σ + σ3 3 = σ1 1 + σ + σ3 3 τ3 = σ σ3 + σ33 3 = σ σ3 + σ33 3 E Matri form τ1 σ11 σ1 σ3 1 τ1 σ11 σ1 σ13 1 τ = σ 1 σ σ3 τ = σ1 σ σ3 τ 3 σ13 σ3 σ 33 3 τ 3 σ31 σ3 σ 33 3 Stephe Martel 19-1 Uiversity of Hawaii

Similarly, (ΣF )/A = 0, so τ (A/A) = (σ 1 )(A 1 /A) + (σ )(A /A). A 1 φ 1 θ θ 1 A A φ A1/A = cosφ1 = cosθ1 = 1 A/A = cosφ = cosθ = The ratio of the areas is give by the directio cosies of the ormal to plae A. This holds i - ad i 3- also. Substitutig for the area ratios: τ 1 = (σ 11 )( 1 ) + (σ 1 )( ). τ = (σ 1 )( 1 ) + (σ )( ). τ i = σ ji j Stephe Martel 19- Uiversity of Hawaii

Similarly, ΣF = 0 ad ΣF 3 = 0, so τ (A/A) = (σ 1 )(A 1 /A) + (σ )(A /A) + (σ 3 )(A 3 /A). τ 3 (A/A) = (σ 13 )(A 1 /A) + (σ 3 )(A /A) + (σ 33 )(A 3 /A). Stephe Martel 19-3 Uiversity of Hawaii

P' is perpedicular to C, ad because C is a lie i C, P' is perpedicular to C. Similarly, CP'' is perpedicular to, so CP'' is perpedicular to C. The itersectio of P' ad CP' is perpedicular to C, ad that itersectio is P. ω 1, ω, ω 3, are agles betwee P ad,, ad 3, respectively. A 1 = 1/ (base C)(height C) = (C)(P') = P A 1/ (base C)(height C) (C)(P') P Stephe Martel 19-4 Uiversity of Hawaii

Therefore, agle P'o = ω 1. A 1 = P' = cos ω 1 = 1 A P' Similarly, A = P'' = cos ω = A P'' ad A 3 = P''' = cos ω 3 = 3 A P''' so τ 1 (A/A) = (σ 11 )(A 1 /A) + (σ 1 )(A /A) + (σ 31 )(A 3 /A) τ 1 = (σ 11 )( 1 ) + (σ 1 )( ) + (σ 31 )( 3 ). τ (A/A) = (σ 1 )(A 1 /A) + (σ )(A /A) + (σ 3 )(A 3 /A) τ = (σ 1 )( 1 ) + (σ )( ) + (σ 3 )( 3 ), τ 3 (A/A) = (σ 13 )(A 1 /A) + (σ 3 )(A /A) + (σ 33 )(A 3 /A) becomes Similarly, becomes ad becomes τ 3 = (σ 13 )( 1 ) + (σ 3 )( ) + (σ 33 )( 3 ). So τ i = σ ji j, but σ ij = σ ji, so τ i = σ ij j.. Stephe Martel 19-5 Uiversity of Hawaii

6 GG303 Lecture 19 11/5/0 6 III Pricipal stresses from tesor ad matri perspectives Cosider a plae with a ormal vector defied by directio cosies 1,, ad 3. The compoets of tractio τ o the plae, by Cauchy s formula, are τi = σij j. They also are simply the compoets of τ: τ1=τ1, τ=τ, ad τ3=τ3. The compoets ca be equated: σ11 σ1 σ (1) σ1 σ σ 3 = T. σ31 σ3 σ The right side of (1) ca be subtracted from the left side to yield: σ11 T σ1 σ13 1 () σ1 σ T σ 3 = 0. σ31 σ3 σ33 T 3 Equatio () ca be rewritte (3) [σ -I T] [] =0, where I is the idetity matri (4) I = For ay square matri [A], [A][I] = [A] Accordig to theorems of liear algebra, equatio () ca be solved oly if the determiat σ -IT equals zero: σ11 T σ1 σ13 (5) σ1 σ T σ3 = 0 σ σ σ T I may cases the compoets of σ are kow but T is must be solved for. Problems of the form of equatio (3) are commo i may braches of mathematics, egieerig, ad physics, ad they have a special ame: eigevalue problems. The values of T (i.e., T, the pricipal values) that solve the equatio are called eigevalues, ad the vectors (the pricipal directios) that give the directios of T are called eigevectors. ecause these problems are so commo, may mathematics packages, icludig Matlab, have special routies to solve for eigevalues ad eigevectors.

So the pricipal stresses lie at the ed of a horizotal diameter through the Mohr circle. The terms c, r, I, ad I are called ivariats ad are idepedet of the frame of i referece. τ s (σ 11, σ 1 ) σ σ 1 + σ σ 1 τ (σ 11, -σ 1 ) Stephe Martel 19-8 Uiversity of Hawaii

(14) yields (16) ( 10 + ) λ = ± = 6± 5 = 11 ad 1 Now we substitute these back ito (3) (17a) for T = σ1 = 11MPa (17b) for T = σ = 1MPa. These relatios yield (18a) = 0 (σ1 = 11MPa) (18b) 31 + = 0 (σ = 1MPa). From (18a), for a eigevalue (pricipal value) of 11 MPa, 1 = 3. From (18b), for a eigevalue (pricipal value) of 1 MPa, = MPa ' 1 MPa 3 MPa 11 MPa 3 MPa ' 10 MPa θ θ 1 1 = cos θ 1 = cos θ = si θ 1 So / 1 = ta θ 1 θ 1 = ta -1 ( / 1 ) = ata(, 1 ) -3 For σ1 = 11MPa* θ ta 1 ta 1 ta 1 ta 1 1 = 18. 5, ormal = = 1 = = o For σ = 1Mpa* θ = ta 1 ta 1 ta ta , ormal = 1 = = ( o )= 1 1 The two eigevectors are perpedicular, as they are supposed to be. * I the first epressio for θ, the ormal directio is the 1 directio, ad 1 ad are the directio cosies for a uit vector alog 1. I the first epressio for θ, the ormal directio is the directio, ad 1 ad are the directio cosies for a uit vector alog. Stephe Martel 19-9 Uiversity of Hawaii
