Q

What are typical values for Poisson’s ratio?

A

Positive for most materials but theoretical range for isotropic (looks the same in all directions) materials
Materials with negative Poisson ratios tend to have special cellular structures

23
Q

What is the equation for Volumetric strain?

A
24
Q

How can tension affect the volume of a shape?

A

Can involve changes in volume, but these are generally small

25
Q

What does Shear involve?

A

No change in volume, only a change in shape

26
Q

What does hydrostatic pressure cause?

A

Hydrostatic pressure causes changes in volume

27
Q

What is the equation for Bulk modulus

A
28
Q

In the equation B = - P/(deltaV/V) what does the minus sign indicate?

The minus sign indicates compression

29
Q

A

a material property

30
Q

What is the equation for the bulk modulus for an isotropic material?

A
31
Q

For a typical metal the relationship between the Young’s modulus and the bulk modulus is?

A

B = E

32
Q

Applied forces result in?

A

Stress(es) in a body
Strain(s) or changes in the dimensions of a body

33
Q

Stress and strain are related by material properties

A

Moduli
- Young’s modulus (GPa)
- Poisson’s ratio (dimensionless)
- Shear modulus (GPa)
- Bulk modulus (GPa)

34
Q

What is an isotropic material?

A

Materials that have uniform properties in all directions (e.g. window glass)

35
Q

How many moduli do we need to relate stress to strain in isotropic materials?

A

Only need 2 (out of 4) moduli to relate stress to strain in isotropic materials (i.e. any 2 of E, V, G and B)

36
Q

What materials can we treat as isotropic?

A

Can treat many materials as being isotropic (on a large scale)
- e.g. metals, ceramics etc. because they contain many randomly oriented grains

37
Q

What materials are not isotropic?

A

Wooden table, Fibre glass fabric, plywood

38
Q

How many unique components of stress are there?

A

6 unique components of stress - 3 normal stresses and 3 shear stresses

39
Q

How many unique components of strain are there?

A

6 unique components of strain - 3 normal strains and 3 shear strains

40
Q

Non-isotropic materials?

A

If transversely isotropic e.g. wood - 5 independent moduli needed
If orthotopic e.g. plywood - 9 independent moduli needed

41
Q

What is the graph for young’s modulus?

A
42
Q

What are the three equations of normal strain are related to normal stresses?
