1 / 13

Material Properties, Failure, and the Viscous World

Today we'll ....

  • Consider fractures and imperfections

  • Consider fluids vs. solids

  • Consider fluids + solids (viscoelastics)

2 / 13

Fracture theory (with only a few the equations)

In an ucompromised structure, stress in applied uniformly

With imperfections, stress is applied nonuniformly

3 / 13

Fracture theory (with only a few equations)

In an ucompromised structure, stress in applied uniformly

With imperfections, stress is applied nonuniformly

  • Why do bones and shells break explosively?
  • Why do cracks propagate?

Fracture theory (with only a few the equations)

In an ucompromised structure, stress in applied uniformly

With imperfections, stress is applied nonuniformly

Strain energy=U=σdε=σ22E

  • Why do bones and shells break explosively?
  • Why do cracks propagate?

Strain energy release=σ2Eπa2t

Strain energy releases by crack

Viscoelastics

Materials that show time dependency are viscoelastic

FΔL

σε

σEε

FΔL/Δt

σdε/dt

σdμε/dt

μ=viscosity

Newton's third law

6 / 13

Fluids

  • Hookean materials (solids): stress vs. strain relationship is linear (constant stiffness)

  • Newtonian fluids: stress vs. strain rate is linear (constant viscosity)

7 / 13

How do we know when we have a fluid?

σ=Eε

σ=dμε/dt

8 / 13

Methods to reveal a viscoelastic property

Creep and stress relaxtion tests

Apply a constant stress?

Relax a stress?

What happens to deformation? Why?

9 / 13

Methods to reveal a viscoelastic property

Creep and stress relaxtion tests

Apply a constant stress? (A)

Relax a stress? (B)

What happens to deformation? Why?

10 / 13

What if we have both?

Maxwell model

Voigt model

11 / 13

Why this in a tendon?
