A

Newtonian Fluids

Q

Viscous Behavior: The reciprocal of viscosity

20
Q

True or False: Rocks at high temperatures near their melting points behave in a nearly viscous fashion, but their behavior is better described as plastic.

21
Q

True or False: Permanent strain in the form of viscous or plastic deformation occurs in a material beyond the elastic limit.

22
Q

True or False: Viscous behavior occurs in fluids, whereas plastic deformation occurs in solids below their melting points.

23
Q

True or False: Presence of water or other fluid may lower threshold temperatures and pressures for ductile behavior.

24
Q

a behavior that involves permanent deformation that affects the entire rock mass and begins at a yield stress.

A

Plastic (Saint-Venant) Behavior

25
After the yield point is passed, the material flows at a constant stress unless one of the two things occurs:
Strain hardening or Strain Softening
26
Increased resistance to deformation as strain increases (Fossen: during plastic deformation, stress is necessary to deform the rock must be increased for strain to accumulate, because as the strain is accumulated the rocks become stronger. If the stress level is exceeded, this may end up brittleing. This, state is related to dislocations in atomic scale deformation because these atoms are intertangle, making it hard to accumulate strain.)
Strain hardening
27
the stress in the material is actually decreasing with an increase in strain (Fossen: less stress is needed to keep the deformation going. Geologic example is the effect of grain size reduction during plastic deformation (mylonitization) because it makes more the frictional sliding become more effective, recrystalization into new and weaker minerals, introduction of fluids, increase in temperature.)
Strain Softening
28
Behavior of Crustal Rocks: Brittle behaviour generally dominates the upper crust. A transition occurred due to increase in temperature and pressure.
Ductile-Brittle behavior
29
Behavior of Crustal Rocks: It is a combination of elastic and viscous behavior. It depends on the stress and strain rates(time dependent). Total strain in an elasticoviscous material is given by the sum of elastic and viscous strain components (Fossen: these models are useful in large-scale modeling of the crust, while elastic deformation describe the short term strain in response to short term stress) It states that we must consider strain rate def. Rocks that deform brittlely over a short time, will deform ductilelyover periods of thousands to million years.
Elasticoviscous (Maxwell) Behavior | 𝛾 = 𝛾𝑒 + 𝛾𝑣 or 𝛾 = 𝜏 + πœπ‘‘ /G+n
30
True or False: Elastoviscious (Maxwell) Behavior: Hence, we must consider time-dependence of deformation. Rocks that deform brittlely over a short time (milliseconds to a few years) will deform ductilely over periods of thousands to million years.
True
31
Behavior of rocks may vary in space as well as in time; concentration of deformation into specific parts of a rock mass by different behavior or mechanisms is
Strain Partitioning
32
Factors Controlling Behaviors: | Temperature ↑ = Yield stress ↓ =
Weakens rocks
33
Strain rate ↑ = Flow of stress level ↑ =
Strengthen rock
34
Presence of fluids ↑ = Yield stress ↓ =
weakens rock
35
Give the parameters that satisfies the condition of plastic deformation
Confining pressure ↑ = accumulate larger finite strain before failure, favors plastic deformation
36
In plastic regime, if the grain size is ↓the resulting strain is
strain weakening
37
If theres is no strain hardening, and the rock keeps accumulating strain without the need to apply stress the process is called
Creep

Plastic
41
True or False:Increasing the temperature, increasing the amount of fluid, lowering the strain rate and, in plastically deforming rocks, reducing the grain size all tend to cause strain weakening.
True
42
is generally defined as the permanent change in shape or size of a body without fracture, produced by a sustained stress beyond the elastic limit of the material due to dislocation movement.
Plastic Deformation
43
In frictional regime, if the grain size is decreasing the resulting strain is
Strain hardening
