1 00:00:09,140 --> 00:00:12,870 PROFESSOR: We had begun to discuss, really what is, 2 00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:16,120 although you would not gather it from last time, a fairly 3 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,020 straightforward matter. 4 00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:24,030 Set up our usual Cartesian coordinate system. 5 00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:34,790 And then look at the surface of the solid, and applied to 6 00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:40,550 this solid a force per unit area, which we'll represent by 7 00:00:40,550 --> 00:00:43,100 a vector k. 8 00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,360 And then put on some labels here. 9 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,890 Let this be O. Let this be A, let this be B, and this be 10 00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:53,370 point C. Then we proceeded to-- 11 00:00:53,370 --> 00:00:55,090 I will say, attempt to-- 12 00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:59,270 set up a balance of forces between the external force per 13 00:00:59,270 --> 00:01:02,770 unit area and the internal forces per unit area, which 14 00:01:02,770 --> 00:01:07,090 have to push back on the external force if the solid is 15 00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:09,620 to remain motionless. 16 00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:16,280 The thing that I did not carry through is that there are two 17 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,740 directions involved. 18 00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:21,920 One is the direction to the normal, to the particular 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,250 surface that we're looking at. 20 00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:29,410 We'll call that N. And there is the direction that k, the 21 00:01:29,410 --> 00:01:33,510 vector k, makes with respect to the three reference x axes, 22 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:35,360 x1, x2, x3. 23 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,150 Let's take k and immediately split it up into the three 24 00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:44,510 components, k1, k2, k3, because throughout, we're 25 00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:48,390 going to be dealing with the balance of those three forces 26 00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:52,190 per unit area in the directions of x1, x2, and x3. 27 00:01:55,510 --> 00:02:00,000 We want to take this surface area and resolve it into three 28 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,020 separate areas that are normal to x1, x2, x3. 29 00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:08,780 And what I did at the end of last hour was to look at k and 30 00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:12,580 try to express these internal areas in terms of the 31 00:02:12,580 --> 00:02:14,430 direction cosines of k. 32 00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:15,040 Forget that. 33 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,420 We've split up k into its three components, and I didn't 34 00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:20,470 draw in the direction of the normal to the 35 00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:22,080 surface N last time. 36 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,690 So I kept saying, direction cosines of k, and people in 37 00:02:25,690 --> 00:02:28,080 the audience said, no, no, no, no. 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,330 And I said, yeah, because you see, that's the ratio 39 00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:31,190 of these two areas. 40 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:33,960 And everybody said, no, that's wrong, and I said, ha. 41 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,490 And that's where we ended my most inglorious hour. 42 00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,330 And they've got this all down on tape. 43 00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:41,700 My reputation's going to be ruined. 44 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:44,660 So, anyway, let's now do it properly. 45 00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:48,790 And what I will say is that in the x1 direction, we have to 46 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:52,420 have internal forces that push back, and we have to balance 47 00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:54,630 those forces in all three directions. 48 00:02:54,630 --> 00:03:02,100 So I'll say is that in the x1 direction, and this as you saw 49 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:04,670 last time, gets very cumbersome because we have to 50 00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:09,080 deal with all these clumsy areas, that the force per unit 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:15,980 area on ABC has to be balanced for each of the three 52 00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:19,230 components of k by internal forces acting 53 00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:21,580 along x1, x2, and x3. 54 00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:26,890 So we can say is that the first in the x1 direction, the 55 00:03:26,890 --> 00:03:37,930 component of k that acts on the surface ABC in the x1 56 00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:42,520 direction has to be balanced by internal forces. 57 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,150 And let's look first at the x1 direction. 58 00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:49,440 So there are three internal surfaces. 59 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,695 They are the area BOC. 60 00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:02,690 That is this back surface here, and the normal to that 61 00:04:02,690 --> 00:04:04,470 surface is x1. 62 00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:09,420 So let me define some forces per unit area that are 63 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:13,260 internal, and I'll use the term sigma for that. 64 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:19,550 And I will use a first subscript that gives the 65 00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:24,850 direction in which that force per unit area acts, and I'll 66 00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:29,210 use a second subscript that indicates the normal to the 67 00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:30,460 internal surface. 68 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:39,280 So area BOC obviously, as we observed a moment ago, has x1 69 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,620 as its normal. 70 00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:43,810 But there are three internal surfaces. 71 00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:54,820 There will also be an internal area, AOC, on which a force 72 00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:57,470 per unit area acts in the x1 direction. 73 00:04:57,470 --> 00:05:00,360 So I'll call this one by analogy to what I 74 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,440 did a moment ago. 75 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,850 I'll call this sigma 1, because it acts in the x1 76 00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:10,400 direction, and it acts on the surface AOC, which has x2 as 77 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,260 its normal. 78 00:05:12,260 --> 00:05:15,280 Then finally, there will be a third force per unit area, 79 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,300 sigma 1 3, acting in the x1 direction, on a surface whose 80 00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:23,770 normal is perpendicular to-- along x3. 81 00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:25,840 The surface is perpendicular to x3. 82 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:28,287 And that's area AOB. 83 00:05:31,630 --> 00:05:36,600 OK, so this is just a simple balance of forces, external 84 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,650 and internal balancing forces, which act in the x1 direction. 85 00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:45,440 Then we'll write a similar thing for the x2 direction. 86 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440 And we'll say that the x2 component of force per unit 87 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:55,860 area external to the volume element acting on area ABC is 88 00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:58,660 going to be balanced by, again, forces now acting in 89 00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:00,280 the x2 direction. 90 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:05,220 So first, there will be a component of 4 sigma 2 acting 91 00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:09,220 on the area that's normal to x1, and that's the same area 92 00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:15,940 BOC, plus another force per unit area acting in the x2 93 00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:19,830 direction on the surface, whose normal is a long x2. 94 00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:21,630 And that is, once more, area AOC. 95 00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:30,610 And that would be a force per unit area that I'll define, 96 00:06:30,610 --> 00:06:34,570 because it's my ball game and I own the ball. 97 00:06:34,570 --> 00:06:40,150 So again, that would be sigma 2 2, and then finally a sigma 98 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:47,010 2 3 times the area whose normal is x3. 99 00:06:47,010 --> 00:06:50,190 And I think I need not write the third term that follows 100 00:06:50,190 --> 00:06:54,640 automatically from what I've written so far. 101 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,370 So now comes the geometry part, where I'm going to get 102 00:06:58,370 --> 00:07:02,200 rid of these messy areas, and I'm going to divide through by 103 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,770 the external area on the surface of the solid. 104 00:07:05,770 --> 00:07:13,370 I will then write accordingly that k1 is equal to sigma 11 105 00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:28,080 times the ratio of area BOC divided by area ABC plus sigma 106 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:40,800 12 times area AOC divided by area AOB-- 107 00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:46,270 ABC, excuse me. 108 00:07:46,270 --> 00:07:57,745 Then finally sigma 1 3 times area AOB divided by area ABC. 109 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,660 So now I'll introduce a little bit of geometry that caused 110 00:08:05,660 --> 00:08:07,620 such difficulties last time. 111 00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:13,980 If I have an area and project it onto another area that 112 00:08:13,980 --> 00:08:18,670 makes an angle C with respect to the first, this area A 113 00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:26,130 prime is equal to the area A times the cosine of Phi and 114 00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:30,090 you could define that Phi in a different way, namely take the 115 00:08:30,090 --> 00:08:36,289 normal to one of the two areas and let M prime be the other 116 00:08:36,289 --> 00:08:40,299 normal, so C then is exactly the same thing as the angle 117 00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,165 between the normals to these two surfaces. 118 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,340 So let's now look at what the ratio of these two areas that 119 00:08:49,340 --> 00:08:50,590 we have is. 120 00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:59,890 What we're dealing with here is an angle between the normal 121 00:08:59,890 --> 00:09:05,650 to the surface, not k, but the normal to the surface, and 122 00:09:05,650 --> 00:09:12,490 either x1, x2, or x3. 123 00:09:12,490 --> 00:09:16,460 So the ratio of-- 124 00:09:16,460 --> 00:09:18,350 let's look at one of these specific terms. 125 00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:24,330 The ratio of area BOC through the ratio of the area ABC 126 00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:30,350 should be the cosine of the angle between the normal to 127 00:09:30,350 --> 00:09:36,410 the surface and the normal to area BOC. 128 00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:41,740 Well, the normal to area BOC is x1, so that first ratio of 129 00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:46,090 areas is just going to be the cosine of this angle. 130 00:09:46,090 --> 00:09:52,950 And that cosine is just the direction cosine of N1 along 131 00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:56,600 the x1 of M along the x1 direction. 132 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,420 So this is just the direction cosine between N, the normal 133 00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:02,580 to the surface, and x1. 134 00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:08,330 And let me say then that, by definition, I'll let the 135 00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:12,410 direction to the normal be its three direction cosines, L 1 136 00:10:12,410 --> 00:10:18,100 plus L 2, plus J plus L3 times k. 137 00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,500 These are the direction cosines of the normal to the 138 00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:21,770 surface, and not k. 139 00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:26,780 So this then simply comes down to sigma 11 times L1, the 140 00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:33,980 ratio of the area AOC to ABC is going to be the angle 141 00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:36,550 between N and x2. 142 00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:39,690 And that's the angle whose direction cosine is L2. 143 00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:49,350 And similarly, the ratio of these two areas will be cosine 144 00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:51,560 minus 1 of L3. 145 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:55,290 So this cumbersome construction with ratios of 146 00:10:55,290 --> 00:11:01,680 areas just reduces to sigma 11 L1 plus sigma 12 times L2 plus 147 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,140 sigma 13 times L3. 148 00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:11,540 And the other two equations will follow a similar form. 149 00:11:11,540 --> 00:11:19,590 K2 will be sigma 21 times L1 plus sigma 22 times L2 plus 150 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:22,750 sigma 23 times L3. 151 00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:29,710 Or in general, case of I will be given by sigma I J times L 152 00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:36,460 to J. Easy. 153 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,670 Nice and compact. 154 00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:44,920 Nice and simple. 155 00:11:47,180 --> 00:11:48,530 What can we say about this? 156 00:11:51,500 --> 00:12:01,410 K is a vector which has components k1, k2, and k3. 157 00:12:01,410 --> 00:12:11,370 The direction cosines can be, as we said a moment ago, can 158 00:12:11,370 --> 00:12:17,240 be regarded as the components of a unit vector pointing 159 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,640 along the normal to the surface. 160 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,930 So k is a vector. 161 00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:26,790 These three direction cosines are the direction cosine to a 162 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:29,060 unit vector normal to the surface. 163 00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:32,690 If we were to be so foolish to try to change the coordinate 164 00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:35,530 system., having just gotten it right for the first time in 165 00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:40,050 one coordinate system, we know exactly how the two vectors 166 00:12:40,050 --> 00:12:42,390 will change because we have a law for 167 00:12:42,390 --> 00:12:45,790 transformation of a vector. 168 00:12:45,790 --> 00:12:48,920 If we were to change the coordinate system, the 169 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,720 components of k would wink on end of and take new values and 170 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,660 we know exactly how the components of a vector will 171 00:12:55,660 --> 00:12:58,440 change as we change coordinate system. 172 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,830 OK, if this transforms like a vector and this transforms 173 00:13:01,830 --> 00:13:06,370 like the vector, then the 3 by 3 array of coefficients which 174 00:13:06,370 --> 00:13:10,810 relate those to quantities must be a tensor. 175 00:13:10,810 --> 00:13:15,780 So we've proven rigorously that sigma IJ is a tensor, in 176 00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:17,655 particular, it's a second rank tensor. 177 00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:28,510 And were we to change coordinate system, we know 178 00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:31,730 from what we've done in the past, exactly how the numbers 179 00:13:31,730 --> 00:13:35,520 that make up this 3 by 3 array will transform. 180 00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:47,940 These quantities, sigma IJ, are something that you've 181 00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:51,070 probably encountered, introduced to be sure, 182 00:13:51,070 --> 00:13:53,140 probably in a little different way. 183 00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:59,060 These are the elements of stress, and sigma IJ is the 184 00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:00,310 stress tensor. 185 00:14:13,530 --> 00:14:17,680 We can immediately, on physical grounds, established 186 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:24,720 that sigma IJ must be a symmetric tensor. 187 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,040 So let's set up two axes, x1, and x2, and x3 obviously is 188 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,300 normal to the board. 189 00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:40,270 And let us look at some off-diagonal terms like sigma 190 00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:43,360 12 and sigma 21. 191 00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:52,080 Sigma 1 2 would be a force acting on the x1 direction on 192 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,940 a surface whose normal is x2. 193 00:14:54,940 --> 00:15:00,510 So this is going to be a sheer stress and that, to prevent 194 00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:05,290 any translation of the volume element, must be balanced by a 195 00:15:05,290 --> 00:15:09,270 sigma 12 on the other face that acts in 196 00:15:09,270 --> 00:15:11,240 the opposite direction. 197 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,320 We're going to need a convention for defining sign, 198 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,450 S-I-G-N, of what constitutes a positive element of stress and 199 00:15:20,450 --> 00:15:22,730 a negative element of stress. 200 00:15:22,730 --> 00:15:38,365 And I'll define a plus sigma IJ as a force per unit area 201 00:15:38,365 --> 00:15:52,490 acting in the plus xi direction on a surface whose 202 00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:54,636 normal is plus xj. 203 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,960 So if this is a force per unit area acting on this surface, 204 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,380 and it acts in the direction of x1 on a surface whose 205 00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:19,130 normal is x2, what I've shown here is a positive sigma 12. 206 00:16:19,130 --> 00:16:22,560 A sheer force going in the opposite direction would be a 207 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,560 negative sigma 12. 208 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:31,640 A positive sigma 11 would be a stress that's tensile, a 209 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,950 negative sigma 11 would be a stress that's compressive. 210 00:16:36,950 --> 00:16:41,140 So here's a sigma 12, a sigma 12 on the opposite face. 211 00:16:41,140 --> 00:16:44,640 If we went away and turned our back, this volume element 212 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,740 would start accelerating, getting an angular 213 00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:51,020 acceleration, would start furiously spinning about the 214 00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:53,120 x3 axis like a top. 215 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,510 So something, if this volume element is, by definition, an 216 00:16:57,510 --> 00:17:01,930 equilibrium, something has to balance this couple. 217 00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:05,720 And if it's to stay put, we must have a sheer force like 218 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,210 this and a sheer force like this. 219 00:17:08,210 --> 00:17:10,380 And that's the only thing available from the nine 220 00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:15,359 elements of stress that will give a net torque on the 221 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,540 volume element. 222 00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:18,319 So what are these? 223 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:23,630 This is a stress that acts on the surface 224 00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:27,280 whose normal is x2-- 225 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,010 whose normal as x1 in the x2 direction. 226 00:17:30,010 --> 00:17:34,950 So this is sigma 21. 227 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:47,820 It acts in x2 direction, and its normal is x1. 228 00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:54,760 An x, and then [? plus ?] 229 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,170 x2 direction on [? I ?] 230 00:17:56,170 --> 00:18:03,660 surface, which has a normal that is along x1. 231 00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:14,720 So the only way we can avoid an angular acceleration is to 232 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,960 say that sigma 12 has to be identical to sigma 21 if 233 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,220 there's no rotation about x3. 234 00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:27,440 And looking at the couple's that act about x2, and x3, we 235 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,350 could say in general that sigma IJ is going to have to 236 00:18:32,350 --> 00:18:38,425 be equal to sigma JI for a volume element in equilibrium. 237 00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:55,260 So stress then is equilibrium is in place, has to be a 238 00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:56,510 symmetric tensor. 239 00:19:00,690 --> 00:19:06,140 It is, however, a plain old second-rank tensor like all of 240 00:19:06,140 --> 00:19:11,090 the other second-rank tensors that we've spent the last 241 00:19:11,090 --> 00:19:12,340 month talking about. 242 00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:23,970 And I think I tried to swindle you on this one before. 243 00:19:23,970 --> 00:19:29,580 If this is a second-rank tensor, the stress tensor must 244 00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:43,220 be symmetric and diagonal for a cubic crystal. 245 00:19:48,330 --> 00:19:51,900 In other words, the stress tensor sigma IJ must have the 246 00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:59,270 form sigma 0 0, 0 sigma 0, 0 0 sigma because we've shown that 247 00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:02,310 that is what is required of a tensor if the crystal has 248 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:05,010 cubic symmetry. 249 00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:10,570 So surprisingly, you cannot subject a single crystal with 250 00:20:10,570 --> 00:20:13,160 cubic material to sheer stress. 251 00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:22,470 Any quarrel with that? 252 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:25,480 Should we move on? 253 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,000 We better not, but somebody better raise an objection. 254 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,620 That's not true, obviously. 255 00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:36,820 I can take a cubic crystal and shear the stuffings out of it. 256 00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:37,710 So what's going on here? 257 00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:39,670 AUDIENCE: The tensor property that you are applying to 258 00:20:39,670 --> 00:20:41,140 [INAUDIBLE] 259 00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:43,100 property of the [? crystal. ?] 260 00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:49,470 But if it is an outside force, it doesn't [INAUDIBLE]. 261 00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:51,450 PROFESSOR: This is one of your good days. 262 00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:52,920 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] 263 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,350 society [INAUDIBLE]. 264 00:20:56,350 --> 00:20:58,310 PROFESSOR: That makes it an especially good day because 265 00:20:58,310 --> 00:21:02,230 you're paying attention to what I said for a change. 266 00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:04,510 The distinction here, and I did make it last time-- it was 267 00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:06,090 one of the things that I did correctly-- 268 00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:09,600 that there are really two kinds of things that have to 269 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,840 be described by second-rank tensors. 270 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,660 There are the things that we have been spending most of our 271 00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:23,540 time on, and these are property tensors and-- 272 00:21:23,540 --> 00:21:27,420 I mentioned last time, too, so I know I said this before-- 273 00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:29,350 Nye calls them field tensors. 274 00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:30,590 I'm sorry. 275 00:21:30,590 --> 00:21:33,820 Nye calls them property tensors, also. 276 00:21:33,820 --> 00:21:37,460 And these are something that depends on the structure and 277 00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:38,680 bonding and other 278 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,010 characteristics of the material. 279 00:21:41,010 --> 00:21:43,920 The stress is something that we we're taking and imposing 280 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,400 on an innocent, unsuspecting crystal, and that is 281 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,450 something we do. 282 00:21:48,450 --> 00:21:53,860 And we can, by design, twist it, shear it, stretch it, as 283 00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:56,330 hard as we like, provided we don't break it. 284 00:21:56,330 --> 00:21:59,640 And so this is something that is externally imposed on the 285 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,860 crystal, and this is something that's called a field tensor. 286 00:22:05,860 --> 00:22:07,740 We mentioned last time the meaning of field. 287 00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:12,980 The field is a volume of space and a field tensor is a space 288 00:22:12,980 --> 00:22:18,240 in which a value of the tensor is defined as every point, x1, 289 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,200 x2, x3, in the space. 290 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,850 Just as an electric field is a vector field and you define 291 00:22:24,850 --> 00:22:28,690 the electric field we as a function of every point x1, 292 00:22:28,690 --> 00:22:30,820 x2, x3, in the space. 293 00:22:30,820 --> 00:22:33,600 So there's no reason whatsoever that there need be 294 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,860 restrictions on the tensor that we apply. 295 00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:42,750 And when we can cross out that interesting, but incorrect, 296 00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:44,000 supposition. 297 00:22:46,110 --> 00:22:51,430 But they can be a lot of different forms, special 298 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:58,880 forms, of stress tensors which have special forms simply 299 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,900 because of the nature of what we do. 300 00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:05,190 And these have restrictions and equalities that have no 301 00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:07,080 counterpart in property tensors. 302 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:13,960 For example, we can have the cancer sigma 00000000, which 303 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,170 is something we could never have identically so for a 304 00:23:17,170 --> 00:23:19,170 property tensor. 305 00:23:19,170 --> 00:23:21,850 And what does this represent? 306 00:23:21,850 --> 00:23:34,340 This is a tensor for which sigma IJ is 0, unless I equals 307 00:23:34,340 --> 00:23:37,140 J equals 1. 308 00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:40,010 So this is the only thing that's going on, is a force 309 00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:42,220 per unit area along the x1 direction. 310 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:50,655 So this is a uniaxial stress. 311 00:23:57,420 --> 00:24:00,870 And that is a stress field which we could apply on a 312 00:24:00,870 --> 00:24:03,850 piece of material very easily. 313 00:24:03,850 --> 00:24:08,860 Just screw a hook into the material and hang a weight on 314 00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:13,330 the hook and you've got uniaxial stress. 315 00:24:13,330 --> 00:24:15,990 We can also have something that's a little harder to 316 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:18,295 visualize, a biaxial stress. 317 00:24:22,890 --> 00:24:27,430 And this would be a stress that had elements sigma 11, 318 00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:28,420 register 0-- 319 00:24:28,420 --> 00:24:30,690 at least when we refer to principal axes-- 320 00:24:30,690 --> 00:24:35,970 0 sigma 2 2 0 0 0 0. 321 00:24:35,970 --> 00:24:38,190 When it's in diagonal form, two of the 322 00:24:38,190 --> 00:24:39,715 diagonal terms are 0. 323 00:24:42,430 --> 00:24:46,850 That doesn't seem to make sense because, if this is a 324 00:24:46,850 --> 00:24:50,030 force per unit area along x1, and this is a force per unit 325 00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:53,700 area along x2, can't we add up those vectors and say that 326 00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:57,250 that's a uniaxial stress? 327 00:24:57,250 --> 00:24:58,750 Depends on your coordinate system. 328 00:24:58,750 --> 00:25:05,260 If you want an example of a biaxial stress, imagine some 329 00:25:05,260 --> 00:25:08,360 firemen underneath a burning building, and they're holding 330 00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,870 out a blanket for somebody to jump into. 331 00:25:10,870 --> 00:25:14,310 You have one pair of firemen pulling in this direction to 332 00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:17,300 keep the blanket taut, and another pair of firemen are 333 00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,560 not quite so vigorous, and they're pulling in an 334 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,820 orthogonal direction. 335 00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:29,350 And those two forces, sigma 11 and sigma 22, create a biaxial 336 00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:31,310 stress event material. 337 00:25:31,310 --> 00:25:34,820 You could change the form of the tensor by rotating the 338 00:25:34,820 --> 00:25:37,670 coordinate system, but this is one example 339 00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:40,280 of a biaxial stress. 340 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,650 The final general form, a triaxial stress, obviously by 341 00:25:43,650 --> 00:25:48,380 extension, is going to be where of all three diagonals, 342 00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:56,980 sigma 11, sigma 22, and sigma 33, are non-zero when you put 343 00:25:56,980 --> 00:25:59,690 the tensor in diagonal form. 344 00:25:59,690 --> 00:26:02,080 This would be a general triaxial stress. 345 00:26:07,660 --> 00:26:12,130 And an example of that would be when the jumping person 346 00:26:12,130 --> 00:26:16,560 lands on the blanket, there's going to be a force that his 347 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,230 or her mass exerts on the blanket, and that would be a 348 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:22,350 third sigma 3 3. 349 00:26:22,350 --> 00:26:24,532 So that would be a triaxial stress. 350 00:26:27,870 --> 00:26:34,410 Let me give you a couple of special cases of specialized 351 00:26:34,410 --> 00:26:35,660 stress tensors. 352 00:26:38,950 --> 00:26:46,250 And suppose I had a triaxial stress, but all the diagonal 353 00:26:46,250 --> 00:26:48,215 terms were equal. 354 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,980 That's something that I tried a moment ago to hoodwink you 355 00:26:56,980 --> 00:27:00,380 into believing was required by a cubic crystal, but suppose 356 00:27:00,380 --> 00:27:02,890 that was the form of the stress tensor. 357 00:27:02,890 --> 00:27:03,570 What would that represent? 358 00:27:03,570 --> 00:27:05,331 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] 359 00:27:05,331 --> 00:27:08,860 PROFESSOR: That is something that's going to be-- 360 00:27:08,860 --> 00:27:10,270 yeah, very good. 361 00:27:10,270 --> 00:27:11,240 That's not a pressure. 362 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,680 It's a dilation. 363 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,990 But if I make it into a more familiar form, put it here, 364 00:27:16,990 --> 00:27:22,900 minus P, minus P, minus P. It's a force prevented area. 365 00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:24,530 That's where the stress is. 366 00:27:24,530 --> 00:27:27,730 If it's a hydrostatic pressure, it's squeezing the 367 00:27:27,730 --> 00:27:32,070 volume element so it has to be, by our definition, acting 368 00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:35,590 in a negative x1 direction on a surface whose 369 00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:37,250 normal is plus x1. 370 00:27:37,250 --> 00:27:40,300 So minus P, minus P, minus P, represents 371 00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:41,550 a hydrostatic pressure. 372 00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:56,150 And now, unless you've seen it before, or you're reading the 373 00:27:56,150 --> 00:27:58,950 notes instead of listening to me, let me give you a really 374 00:27:58,950 --> 00:28:00,460 strange-looking one. 375 00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:05,950 What is this stress tensor? 376 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,740 Where sigma 22 is opposite in sign but equal in 377 00:28:15,740 --> 00:28:18,192 magnitude to sigma 11. 378 00:28:18,192 --> 00:28:19,485 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] 379 00:28:19,485 --> 00:28:20,625 PROFESSOR: Yeah. 380 00:28:20,625 --> 00:28:21,890 Good. 381 00:28:21,890 --> 00:28:23,340 The way to see that 382 00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:25,210 geometrically is the following. 383 00:28:25,210 --> 00:28:32,970 What we're doing is, we're pushing with a force per unit 384 00:28:32,970 --> 00:28:34,160 area in this direction. 385 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,680 That would be sigma 11, and then we squeeze in the 386 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,310 orthogonal direction. 387 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:44,290 And that is a sigma 22, which is negative. 388 00:28:44,290 --> 00:28:53,400 If we rotate the solid by 90 degrees, then we've got this, 389 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,040 plus this, acting on this face, same forces per unit 390 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,460 area as we have here. 391 00:28:58,460 --> 00:29:02,840 And that is a net force per unit area like this. 392 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,990 On the opposite surface, we've got this force per unit area 393 00:29:06,990 --> 00:29:11,740 and this force per unit area, component 394 00:29:11,740 --> 00:29:13,150 going in this direction. 395 00:29:13,150 --> 00:29:19,170 And that is going to be a force that goes like this. 396 00:29:19,170 --> 00:29:22,680 That's going to be a force per unit area like this, and 397 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,740 similarly, this combined with this is going to be a force 398 00:29:26,740 --> 00:29:29,540 acting in the reverse direction. 399 00:29:29,540 --> 00:29:35,432 That would be, again, this with this, and this would be 400 00:29:35,432 --> 00:29:36,920 this with that. 401 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,730 So clearly, that is a body that's being subjected to pure 402 00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:51,250 sheer, and if we rotated the axes x1 and x2 by 45 degrees 403 00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:58,510 to an x1 prime and x2 prime like this, and then 404 00:29:58,510 --> 00:30:05,020 transformed the tensor, it would take the form 0 405 00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:12,850 sigma sigma 0 0. 406 00:30:12,850 --> 00:30:16,300 And then, what do we want now? 407 00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:17,740 This would be the only thing we get. 408 00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:24,000 Except I should be careful to put a sigma prime on this 409 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,480 because, when we change axes, these sigmas will not be of 410 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,520 the same magnitude as the original ones. 411 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,620 There's going to be a square root of 2 coming from cosine 412 00:30:32,620 --> 00:30:35,330 of 45 degrees in there. 413 00:30:35,330 --> 00:30:38,370 But, anyway, just rotating the axes 45 degrees of as I've 414 00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:41,600 indicated schematically here with vector sums is going to 415 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:49,650 give me two off diagonal terms equal in magnitude that would 416 00:30:49,650 --> 00:30:53,320 correspond to sigma 12 and sigma 21. 417 00:31:01,770 --> 00:31:06,540 So those are some special forms of a stress tensor when 418 00:31:06,540 --> 00:31:11,150 you place it in a diagonalized form. 419 00:31:11,150 --> 00:31:14,550 But let's conclude this part of our discussion by observing 420 00:31:14,550 --> 00:31:20,720 that everything that we've said about second-rank tensors 421 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,410 holds for the stress tensor. 422 00:31:23,410 --> 00:31:38,660 For example, you can always select new axes that put the 423 00:31:38,660 --> 00:31:40,530 tensor in diagonal form. 424 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,266 So that's one general property. 425 00:32:01,870 --> 00:32:15,720 You can define a stress quadric, and we'll do that 426 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:23,340 with the equation sigma ij xi xj equals 1. 427 00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:23,830 Why not? 428 00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:25,080 It's a second-ranked tensor. 429 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,250 We can take the elements and construct a surface from it. 430 00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:38,410 This quadric will have the properties of any other 431 00:32:38,410 --> 00:32:40,820 quadric for a second-rank tensor. 432 00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:46,790 In particular, if we construct the quadric, it's now for sure 433 00:32:46,790 --> 00:32:50,430 going to be able to be either an ellipsoid, an hyperboloid 434 00:32:50,430 --> 00:32:53,950 of one or two sheets, or in this case, even an imaginary 435 00:32:53,950 --> 00:32:58,340 ellipsoid for a stress that's everywhere compressive. 436 00:32:58,340 --> 00:33:00,600 The quadric could have its diagonal 437 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,110 elements all negative. 438 00:33:04,110 --> 00:33:07,690 The radius of the stress quadric in a particular 439 00:33:07,690 --> 00:33:22,540 direction is going to be the 1 over the square root of the 440 00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:25,550 property in that direction. 441 00:33:25,550 --> 00:33:29,560 What does that mean, stress in a given direction? 442 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,990 Well, let's again remember how we have 443 00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:34,470 defined the stress tensor. 444 00:33:34,470 --> 00:33:40,130 A force per unit area has three components, k1, k2, k3, 445 00:33:40,130 --> 00:33:45,060 and they're equal to sigma ij times lj. 446 00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:51,270 So the value of the property in this direction is going to 447 00:33:51,270 --> 00:33:54,890 be the value of the property in the direction defined by 448 00:33:54,890 --> 00:34:01,880 [? elsa ?] j and the values of [? elsa ?] j are components of 449 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,010 the unit vector that point in that direction. 450 00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:11,389 So if this is the direction of k, [? off ?] like this, the 451 00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:20,400 value of this quadric in this direction is going to be the 452 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,810 value of the part of k that's parallel to the radius vector 453 00:34:24,810 --> 00:34:27,489 over the magnitude of the radius vector. 454 00:34:27,489 --> 00:34:31,350 But the [? radius ?] vector is a unit vector, so it's simply 455 00:34:31,350 --> 00:34:36,650 going to be equal to k parallel. 456 00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:41,500 And if k parallel is the part of the vector that is along 457 00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:46,330 the surface normal, that is going to be the component of k 458 00:34:46,330 --> 00:34:47,885 which is purely tensile. 459 00:34:50,770 --> 00:34:55,110 This is a force per unit area, has parts that are, components 460 00:34:55,110 --> 00:34:59,030 that are normal to the surface normal. 461 00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:00,730 Those are shear components. 462 00:35:00,730 --> 00:35:03,890 The component that's directly along the normal to the 463 00:35:03,890 --> 00:35:07,330 surface is going to be a purely tensile component. 464 00:35:07,330 --> 00:35:11,940 And, therefore, the radius of the quadric in a given 465 00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:25,220 direction gives us the tensile component of the force density 466 00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:28,575 vector k that is transmitted across the face-- 467 00:35:46,850 --> 00:35:48,605 so let's not say face, but interface-- 468 00:35:52,340 --> 00:36:08,400 whose normal is in the direction of R. 469 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,020 So this is the radius vector. 470 00:36:10,020 --> 00:36:15,310 That's the direction of the normal to a surface and 1 over 471 00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:18,190 the radius of-- 472 00:36:18,190 --> 00:36:20,830 The radius of the quadric in that direction is going to be 473 00:36:20,830 --> 00:36:24,740 1 over the square root of the tensile component of stress 474 00:36:24,740 --> 00:36:28,110 that's transmitted across an interface in this direction. 475 00:36:49,170 --> 00:36:51,000 How are we doing on time? 476 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,750 Any questions at this point? 477 00:37:06,061 --> 00:37:12,470 AUDIENCE: Can you explain how you know that's [INAUDIBLE]? 478 00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:16,945 PROFESSOR: Remember what our radius normal property said. 479 00:37:19,820 --> 00:37:29,650 If we have a tensor like good conductivity, where a current 480 00:37:29,650 --> 00:37:33,835 density is related to an applied electric field, 481 00:37:33,835 --> 00:37:36,500 [? essa ?] j and we've-- 482 00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:38,060 unfortunately, that's segment 2. 483 00:37:38,060 --> 00:37:41,563 This is the conductivity tensor. 484 00:37:41,563 --> 00:37:47,440 What we said is that, if we take the components of the 485 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,830 tensor, sigma ij, and construct the surface sigma ij 486 00:37:52,830 --> 00:37:58,690 xij equals unity, that will be some sort of quadratic form 487 00:37:58,690 --> 00:38:03,490 that has the property that the radius in any given direction 488 00:38:03,490 --> 00:38:12,740 is 1 over the square root of the value of the property, 489 00:38:12,740 --> 00:38:14,820 sigma conductivity in this case. 490 00:38:14,820 --> 00:38:15,760 Bad case. 491 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,890 I shouldn't have picked things where the 492 00:38:17,890 --> 00:38:19,620 sigma is also involved. 493 00:38:19,620 --> 00:38:22,640 And the value of the property in the given direction is 494 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,560 going to be the parallel component of what happens over 495 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,770 the magnitude of what you do. 496 00:38:30,770 --> 00:38:34,030 So in the case of electrical conductivity, if we apply a 497 00:38:34,030 --> 00:38:38,160 field in this direction, the value of the property is going 498 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:44,570 to be that part of the current flow, which is parallel to the 499 00:38:44,570 --> 00:38:47,590 electric field, divided by the magnitude of 500 00:38:47,590 --> 00:38:50,600 the electric field. 501 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:56,140 So that is a relation that you know by heart and have come to 502 00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:59,360 not only know, but to love. 503 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,070 So what are we saying here? 504 00:39:01,070 --> 00:39:05,730 For the stress tensor, we can take the elements of the 505 00:39:05,730 --> 00:39:08,940 stress tensor and construct a quadric. 506 00:39:08,940 --> 00:39:12,990 And the thing that's related here is a force per unit area 507 00:39:12,990 --> 00:39:19,530 that we're applying to the surface of the crystal, and 508 00:39:19,530 --> 00:39:23,470 that's transmitted through the volume of the crystal by the 509 00:39:23,470 --> 00:39:27,520 relation that we have defined as the stress tensor. 510 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,850 So, unfortunately, again, sigma Ij. 511 00:39:29,850 --> 00:39:33,560 And now what is involved are the direction cosines of the 512 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,580 normal to the surface. 513 00:39:35,580 --> 00:39:38,770 So what is the applied vector? 514 00:39:38,770 --> 00:39:43,170 The applied vector is a unit vector, and this is the normal 515 00:39:43,170 --> 00:39:44,420 to the surface. 516 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,780 And the surface in question would be a surface like this. 517 00:39:52,780 --> 00:40:00,490 The thing that results is a force per unit area k. 518 00:40:00,490 --> 00:40:06,350 So what we're doing is taking k, the value of 519 00:40:06,350 --> 00:40:07,770 sigma, in that direction. 520 00:40:07,770 --> 00:40:11,060 A scalar quantity will be the part of k that's parallel to 521 00:40:11,060 --> 00:40:13,060 the normal vector, divided by the 522 00:40:13,060 --> 00:40:18,700 magnitude of the unit vector. 523 00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:21,840 And that's, a magnitude of n is 1, so 524 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,910 that's just k parallel. 525 00:40:23,910 --> 00:40:25,710 So this is the surface. 526 00:40:25,710 --> 00:40:27,260 This is its normal. 527 00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:31,250 And what the radius of the quadric is going to give us is 528 00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:37,010 that part of the force density, which is the force 529 00:40:37,010 --> 00:40:40,150 density vector resolved onto the normal vector. 530 00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:42,230 And this is a tensile. 531 00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:46,750 This is the part of the tensile stress that's 532 00:40:46,750 --> 00:40:47,310 transmitted. 533 00:40:47,310 --> 00:40:49,770 This is the total stress that has a sheer part 534 00:40:49,770 --> 00:40:50,790 and a tensile part. 535 00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:53,420 The radius of the quadric is going to give you the part 536 00:40:53,420 --> 00:40:56,930 that's transmitted across the surface in this orientation. 537 00:40:56,930 --> 00:40:59,460 That is purely a tensile force. 538 00:41:04,590 --> 00:41:05,760 That make sense? 539 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,460 I should have done it without sigmas being 540 00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:08,710 present in both tensors. 541 00:41:11,670 --> 00:41:16,900 So everything you want to know about stress that's applied to 542 00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:22,510 a solid is contained in a second-rank tensor that is 543 00:41:22,510 --> 00:41:26,940 symmetric and obeys all of the characteristics that we 544 00:41:26,940 --> 00:41:29,940 derived earlier for property tensors, even though this is a 545 00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:31,760 field tensor, and not a property tensor. 546 00:41:42,690 --> 00:41:45,870 Let us then turn to the next thing that I want to discuss, 547 00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:48,930 again something you've heard before. 548 00:41:48,930 --> 00:41:52,080 But we'll do it within the context of the tensor algebra 549 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,850 that we've developed before. 550 00:41:53,850 --> 00:41:56,905 And this is the concept of strength. 551 00:42:03,930 --> 00:42:11,020 And let me introduce the subject by a 552 00:42:11,020 --> 00:42:13,650 one-dimensional analog. 553 00:42:13,650 --> 00:42:18,250 Suppose we have a very thin elastic band fastened to some 554 00:42:18,250 --> 00:42:22,535 immovable surface, and this will be the direction x. 555 00:42:26,090 --> 00:42:30,950 And then we pull on it. 556 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:34,540 And here again, we have to be complete and note that there 557 00:42:34,540 --> 00:42:37,910 are several different kinds of behavior. 558 00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:44,020 One type of behavior is a case where the elastic band 559 00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:51,820 stretches, and if there's some point P on the initial state 560 00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:57,000 that point P will move to a point P prime that is 561 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,930 displaced from the original location by a vector U. 562 00:43:05,930 --> 00:43:12,790 There's another point Q part way along the elastic band. 563 00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:16,670 If the thing that we have fastened to the elastic band 564 00:43:16,670 --> 00:43:20,100 slipped, and there's no deformation at all, Q would be 565 00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:24,080 displaced by the same amount U if there was just translation 566 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,400 of the elastic because it wasn't fastened down solidly. 567 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,160 But if it's stretching here between this point and this 568 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,810 point, it's going to stretch up here, too. 569 00:43:33,810 --> 00:43:38,320 And, in general, it will move over to some point Q prime, 570 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,490 and this displacement vector is going to be the original U 571 00:43:42,490 --> 00:43:52,620 plus delta U. And what we care about in defining strength is 572 00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:55,370 not the absolute coordinates, but the interval 573 00:43:55,370 --> 00:43:57,770 between these points. 574 00:43:57,770 --> 00:44:07,530 This separation is U, and this separation is U plus delta U. 575 00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:11,610 Now this is a common, but not a necessarily 576 00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:13,360 unique, sort of behavior. 577 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,280 This is something where the displacement does not change 578 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,465 along the length of the elastic bands. 579 00:44:19,465 --> 00:44:21,660 This is something that's called homogeneous 580 00:44:21,660 --> 00:44:22,910 deformation. 581 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,260 And this is characterized by a displacement view that varies 582 00:44:35,260 --> 00:44:39,680 linearly with position along the elastic band. 583 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,930 Does something like this. 584 00:44:46,110 --> 00:44:50,410 It's possible, in a [? grade ?] of material, if 585 00:44:50,410 --> 00:44:53,960 you'd like a real example, that U, as a function of 586 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,230 distance along this one-dimensional object, does 587 00:44:56,230 --> 00:44:57,480 something like this. 588 00:45:00,410 --> 00:45:01,660 Why not? 589 00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:08,540 That's what might happen for example in-- 590 00:45:08,540 --> 00:45:11,230 that's almost an oxymoron, a one-dimensional elastic band 591 00:45:11,230 --> 00:45:15,020 whose cross-sectional area changes with distance in that 592 00:45:15,020 --> 00:45:18,110 one dimension. 593 00:45:18,110 --> 00:45:20,840 So this is homogeneous deformation, as opposed to 594 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,590 inhomogeneous deformation. 595 00:45:23,590 --> 00:45:30,490 There's another type of behavior, and this is apparent 596 00:45:30,490 --> 00:45:37,870 if you place a thin piece of metal or plastic, let's say, 597 00:45:37,870 --> 00:45:43,770 between the pair of grips in the Instron machine, and after 598 00:45:43,770 --> 00:45:46,090 deformation, it does something like this. 599 00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:52,580 There's an inhomogeneous deformation, which is to 600 00:45:52,580 --> 00:45:56,120 referred to colloquially as necking. 601 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,740 A very good example of that is what happens when you grab 602 00:45:59,740 --> 00:46:05,180 hold of some cheap plastic shrink wrap that has been 603 00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:07,880 shrunk around a package that has been mailed to you. 604 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,220 And you want to get it off, so you grab it. 605 00:46:10,220 --> 00:46:12,220 And it doesn't deform elastically. 606 00:46:12,220 --> 00:46:14,780 What happens is that it necks in places where there's a 607 00:46:14,780 --> 00:46:16,220 stress concentration. 608 00:46:16,220 --> 00:46:18,550 And you get something exactly like this. 609 00:46:18,550 --> 00:46:22,500 And if we were to indicate that sort of behavior, U as a 610 00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:26,180 function of position would be one U, and then it would 611 00:46:26,180 --> 00:46:27,720 increase very rapidly. 612 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:29,440 The [? UDX ?] 613 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,970 would be very much larger than the places which had uniform 614 00:46:33,970 --> 00:46:37,550 elastic deformation, so it would be a nonlinear behavior 615 00:46:37,550 --> 00:46:38,880 of this sort. 616 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,130 And that would be necking. 617 00:46:44,310 --> 00:46:46,730 If you've never noticed that sort of behavior before, I 618 00:46:46,730 --> 00:46:49,510 give you an assignment tonight of going home and getting a 619 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:53,960 piece of Saran wrap from your kitchen drawer and grabbing 620 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,210 hold of it and pulling it. 621 00:46:55,210 --> 00:46:59,150 And it deforms non-uniformly in a fashion that's indicative 622 00:46:59,150 --> 00:47:00,400 of necking. 623 00:47:07,690 --> 00:47:09,530 OK, it's just about five of. 624 00:47:09,530 --> 00:47:11,300 Why don't I stop there. 625 00:47:11,300 --> 00:47:16,440 And what I would like to do next is to cast this relation, 626 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,600 which is a one-dimensional stream, into a 627 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,550 three-dimensional situation. 628 00:47:21,550 --> 00:47:26,460 And we'll look at some of the properties of the description 629 00:47:26,460 --> 00:47:28,620 of a body that's been deformed in three dimensions.
