Longitudinal elastic deformation

Storyboard

When a force is applied to the surface of a body, it creates a zone where the material either compresses or expands, resulting in a motion parallel to the normal vector of the surface. This is what is referred to as longitudinal deformation.

Equations

If we use the equation to calculate the work ($W$) as the integral of the elastic Force ($F_k$) along the path during deformation:

$W=\displaystyle\int_0^u \vec{F}\cdot d\vec{s}$



And we employ the equation for the elastic Force ($F_k$) with the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), the body Section ($S$), the elongation ($u$), the body length ($L$), and the elongation ($u$)

equation=3209

where we sum along the path traveled. In the case of elastic deformation, the relationship is linear and becomes:

$W=\displaystyle\frac{ES}{L}\displaystyle\int_0^u d\vec{s}\cdot\vec{s}$



This leads to:

$W=\displaystyle\frac{ES}{2L}u^2$



By using the equation for the deformation ($\epsilon$)

equation=3762

and the equation for the volume ($V$)

equation=15374

we obtain:

equation

With Hooke's Law for the elastic Force ($F_k$), the hooke Constant ($k$), and the elongation ($u$) as follows:

equation=3207

and the expression for the hooke Constant ($k$) in terms of the body length ($L$), the body Section ($S$), the microscopic length of spring ($l$), the microscopic section of spring ($s$), and the microscopic Hook constant ($k_m$):

equation=3205

combined with the expression for the modulus of Elasticity ($E$):

equation=3204

the result is:

equation

Since the deformation energy ($W$) is related to the volume ($V$), the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), and the deformation ($\epsilon$) as follows:

equation=3206

If we replace the deformation ($\epsilon$) with the strain ($\sigma$) in the equation:

equation=8100

We obtain:

equation

The elastic Force ($F_k$) is a function that depends on the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), the body Section ($S$), the elongation ($u$), and the body length ($L$).

equation=3209

This function can be expressed using the definition of the strain ($\sigma$)

equation=3210

and the definition of the deformation ($\epsilon$)

equation=3762

resulting in

equation

The deformation energy ($W$) is expressed as a function of the volume ($V$), the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), and the deformation ($\epsilon$) as follows:

equation=3206

And with the deformation energy density ($w$) defined as:

equation=3770

We obtain:

kyon

As Hooke's Law relates the elastic Force ($F_k$) through the hooke Constant ($k$) and the elongation ($u$) in the following manner:

equation=3207

you can replace the hooke Constant ($k$) with the microscopic expression and using the definition of the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), you obtain with the body length ($L$) and the body Section ($S$) that:

kyon

The elastic Force ($F_k$) is a function of the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), the body Section ($S$), the elongation ($u$), and the body length ($L$).

equation=3209

In this case, the ratio between the elongation ($u$) and the body length ($L$) is represented by the deformation ($\epsilon$), which can be defined as follows:

kyon

In general, the deformation ($\epsilon$) is defined as the variation of the elongation ($u$) in proportion to the body length ($L$):

equation=3762

This concept can be generalized in the microscopic limit, where the deformation in the coordinate $i$ ($\epsilon_i$) is introduced as the variation of displacement in i ($\partial u_i$) over the length of an element in i ($\partial x_i$) in the direction $i$, and it would be expressed as:

kyon

The reason for using a different symbol to denote the differential

$d \rightarrow \partial$

is that there are several differentials that affect different variables in the model. The use of the symbol $\partial$ indicates that one should perform one variation at a time, meaning that when considering one variable, the remaining variables are assumed to have their initial values.

The elastic Force ($F_k$) is a function that depends on the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), the body Section ($S$), the elongation ($u$), and the body length ($L$).

equation=3209

Similarly, just as the deformation ($\epsilon$) is introduced to avoid using the dimension the body length ($L$), we can construct a factor that expresses the elastic Force ($F_k$) in terms of the body Section ($S$) as the strain ($\sigma$).

kyon

The elastic Force ($F_k$) is a function that depends on the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), the body Section ($S$), the elongation ($u$), and the body length ($L$).

equation=3209

This function can be rewritten using the definitions of the strain ($\sigma$) and the deformation ($\epsilon$), resulting in the continuous version of Hooke's Law:

kyon

The Hooke's Law for ERROR:8845, ERROR:8843, and ERROR:8838 is expressed as:

equation=8100

This law can be generalized for the stress on axis $i$ ($\sigma_i$) and the deformation in the coordinate $i$ ($\epsilon_i$) as:

kyon

The total mass the volume ($V$) of the body is calculated using the body Section ($S$) and the body length ($L$):

kyon

Similar to a spring, deforming a material requires energy. The energy the work ($W$) required to compress or expand the material is calculated as the integral of the elastic Force ($F_k$) along the path $ds$ during deformation:

$W=\displaystyle\int_0^u \vec{F}\cdot d\vec{s}$



In the case of the continuous Hooke's Law, this reduces to:

kyon

As the deformation energy ($W$) is related to the volume ($V$), the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), and the deformation ($\epsilon$), it can be expressed as:

equation=3206

Using Hooke's Law, we can replace the deformation ($\epsilon$) in terms of the strain ($\sigma$), resulting in:

kyon

For the deformation energy ($W$) contained within a volume ($V$), we can define the deformation energy density ($w$) as:

kyon

The deformation energy ($W$) as a function of the volume ($V$), the modulus of Elasticity ($E$), and the deformation ($\epsilon$) is equal to

equation=3206

So, if we divide by the volume ($V$), we obtain the deformation energy density ($w$), which is defined as

kyon

Lateral deformation is directly proportional to the deformation it causes. The proportionality coefficient is denoted as the poisson coefficient ($\nu$) [1] and typically falls within the range of 0.15 to 0.4.

If the original deformation is the deformation ($\epsilon$) and the generated one is the deformation in the direction perpendicular to the force ($\epsilon_{\perp}$), the following relationship is established:

In the linear approximation, the Poisson's coefficient represents the relationship between lateral and longitudinal deformations.

kyon

where the sign indicates that the deformation is in the opposite direction to the cause.

[1] This concept was introduced by Sim on Denis Poisson in a statistical analysis work, in which he mentioned, among other unrelated topics to mechanics, what was later referred to as the Poisson's coefficient in an elasticity example. The work is titled "Recherches sur la Probabilit des Jugements en Mati re Criminelle et en Mati re Civile" (Research on the Probability of Judgments in Criminal and Civil Matters), authored by Sim on Denis Poisson (1837).

ERROR:8844 as a function of ERROR:8843 and ERROR:8838 is equal to

equation=8104

This equation expresses ERROR:8844 without considering the deformation in the direction perpendicular to the force ($\epsilon_{\perp}$), which is associated with ERROR:8838 through the Poisson's coefficient. ERROR:8844 can be expressed as a function of ERROR:8838 and the deformation in the direction perpendicular to the force ($\epsilon_{\perp}$) using the following equation:

kyon
