Kinematics

The Study of Deformation & Motion

Definition

the various possible types of motion in themselves, leaving out the causes to which the initiation of motion may be ascribed constitutes the science of Kinematics.ET Whittaker Kinematics does not deal with predicting the deformation resulting from a given loading, but rather with the machinery for describing all possible deformations a body can undergo EB Tadmore et al.

Context
There are three major aspects that interest us of the behavior of a continuously distributed body. The first subject of this chapter, kinematics, is an organized geometrical description of its displacement and motion. We shall also look at a mathematical description of internal forces. In the next chapter we shall look at basic balance laws and the second law of thermodynamics which describes the inbalance of entropy. The emphasis here is the fact that these principles are independent of the material considered. While we may use the terminology of solid mechanics, these laws are valid for any continuously distributed material.

Balance Laws and the Theory of Stress


All materials respond to external influences by obeying these same laws. The differences observed in their responses are results of their constitution. Such constitutive models distinguish between solids and fluids, elastic and inelastic or time independent and materials with time dependent behaviors. We shall endeavor to engage general principles in their most general forms.

Balance Laws and the Theory of Stress

Many books that engineering students encounter at this point treat the three levels of relations (kinematic, balance laws and constitutive models) differently for different materials. The reality is that only the constitutive models differ. The kinematics, transmission of forces and balance laws are material independent.

Placement of Bodies
The abstract material body will be considered as a three-dimensional manifold with boundary, consisting of points, which we call material (in contrast to spatial points). The body becomes observable by us when it moves through the space. Mathematically, such a motion is a time-dependent embedding into the Euclidean space. We assume that at each instant, there is a mapping of each point in the body to R 3 and that all coordinate changes are differentiable.

Placements in 3-D Euclidean Space


2 The deformation, = (, ) can take the 2-D form such as: 1 , 2 = 1 + 2 /2, 2 . Using 3.5 Mathematica (oafakDeform.nb) 3

Deformation of the original material can be viewed as placements in 3-D Euclidean Space. Motion is a time dependent
sequence of placements

Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos

oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Spatial Space

At each instant, this embedding is called a placement of the body B at a time R, and it is given by a mapping : B E Or, including the time directly, we can write, (, ): B E So that the motion of the body is the smooth function that assigns to each Euclidean point B a point, = (, )
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 8 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Basic Hypotheses
1. That the mapping (, ): B E be bijective. Physically this one-to-one mapping guarantees that no two material points occupy the same spatial point at once. Physically, we are saying that the material does not penetrate itself. 2. That the determinant of the material gradient is never zero or, , , 0

Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos

oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Material Indestructibility
The last stipulation guarantees that the deformation must not be such that the material vanishes. For the Jacobian to vanish, we must be able to deform a finite material to nothingness. That situation is not envisaged here in the hypothesis. Beginning from an initial state when , = 1, we can easily conclude that for continuity, , > 0 . Otherwise, the state , = 0 shall have been reached prior to any negative state; An impossibility!

Material & Spatial Vectors


The Reference Placement of the material is defined as an abstract state for the identification of the actual material points. Several authors find it necessary to use some initial or undeformed state of the material for this purpose. For our use here, we consider it purely imaginary and existing only for the purpose of analysis. The points in the reference state are called Material Points. The vector space associated with it contains material vectors. The reference placement is time independent.
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 11 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Material & Spatial Vectors


The body in question is seen only as it evolves through time in the mapping we have previously defined. The vectors associated with the spatial points = (, ) are called spatial vectors. Vectors associated with material points are material vectors. Note that this separation, though necessary for analysis is artificial and imaginary. In fact, only the spatial placement is visible as it evolves over time.
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 12 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Velocity & Acceleration


The spatial vectors,
(, ) = ,

and

2 (, ) = , 2 are the velocity and acceleration of the material point at time . Let it be clear that despite the fact that and are not vectors (they are points) but and are spatial and material vectors respectively.
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 13 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Further Hypotheses

1. We further assume that material cannot cross the boundary of a spatial region convecting with the body.

Convected Coordinates

Imagine the coordinate system were to be fixed with the body and deforms with it. Such a coordinate system is said to be convected coordinate system Even if we started out with rectangular Cartesian, we would end up with a curvilinear system as shown below:

Convected Coordinates

oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Convected Coordinates
The two figures above show the location near the corner of a triangle prior to and sequel to a deformation transformation when coordinate lines are allowed to deform with the material. As a result of the deformation, the coordinate locating the point of interest did not change since we allow the coordinates to deform with the triangle. In the deformed state, what started as a Cartesian system has been transformed to curvilinear coordinates. The coordinate curves are bent and therefore the coordinate bases are now tangents to the coordinate lines.
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 17 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Convected Coordinates
In the undeformed system here, the coordinate bases and coordinate lines are one and the same. All that has changed because of the deformation. The straight edge of the triangle itself looks more like an arc in the deformed state. Yet, in all this, the coordinate shift from the highlighted point to the triangle edge remains unchanged. The above shows that the convected coordinates retain the location but lose the bases.
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 18 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

The Deformation Gradient


At any instant, the vector differential of the mapping, = (, ) in the Gateaux sense is, = , So that we can write that, = , Where the Frecht derivative, the tensor , = , is called the deformation gradient. Clearly, the deformation gradient maps infinitesimal material vectors (e.g. ) to infinitesimal spatial vectors (e.g. ).

Homogeneous Deformation

At a particular instant in time, the placement , is the instantaneous displacement. , normally varies throughout the material body. In the special case when is constant through the material space, we have Homogeneous Deformation. Dropping the subscript , we may write that, for homogeneous deformations at a particular instant,

Homogeneous Deformation

Material and Spatial Mapping

Dropping the functional dependencies, we have that, = In which the deformation gradient maps material vectors to spatial. We can also write, 1 = So that the inverse of the deformation gradient maps spatial vectors to material vectors.

Transposes
Consider a spatial vector . Take its inner product with the spatial vector equation, = , we obtain, = = T Which clearly shows that T is a material vector. Clearly, T maps spatial vectors to material vectors. Given a material vector , a similar consideration for the scalar equation, 1 = = T

Clearly shows that T is a map of material vectors to spatial vectors.

Polar Decomposition
By the results of this theorem, = = is called the rotation tensor while and are the right (or material) stretch tensor and the left (spatial) stretch tensors respectively. Being a rotation tensor, must be proper orthogonal. In addition to being an orthogonal matrix, the matrix representation of must have a determinant that is positive: det = +1.

Note that = T = T T = T = 2 . Definition: Positive Definite. A tensor is positive definite if for every real vector , the quadratic form > . If Then is said to be positive semi-definite. Now every positive definite tensor has a square root such that,

2 = =

oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Proof
To prove this theorem, we must first show that is symmetric and positive definite. Symmetry is obvious. To show positive definiteness, For an arbitrary real vector consider the expression, . Let the vector = . Then we can write, = = 2 > 0 as the magnitude of any real vector must be positive. Hence = is positive definite.

Uniqueness of the Root


A spectral decomposition of the symmetric, positive definite tensor can be written as,
3

=
=1

Given that = 2 is the eigenvalue corresponding to the normalized eigenvector . Every quadratic form with this spectral representation must be greater than zero.
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 34 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Uniqueness of the Root


It follows easily that each eigenvalue is positive because contracting with each eigenvector from the left and right, we have,
3

= > 0.

=1 (note very carefully the suppression of the summation convention here)

Above proves that each eigenvalue is greater than zero and in the spectral form, = det = 3 > 0 . And =1 since the determinant of a matrix is an invariant, this holds true even in non spectral forms of .

Uniqueness of the Root


Now, let =

Clearly, =

1 1 1 + 2 2 2 + 3 3 3

2 =

= .

And this square root is unique, for were it not so, there would be another positive definite tensor such that, = 2 = .
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 36 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Uniqueness of the Root


The eigenvalue equation, 2 = is satisfied by each eigenvalue/vector pair for . From the above, we may write, 2 = 2 = + = . In the last expression, must be equal to zero. If not, we then have the fact that + = This would mean that is an eigenvalue of . An impossibility because is positive definite and can only have positive eigenvalues. If we had started with, 2 = 2 = + = we would equally reach the conclusion that = .
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 37

And this will remain true as we use each eigenvalue of . is also an eigenvalue/vector for . That proves that they are the same tensor. Hence the square root of the tensor is unique

The Rotation
To complete the Polar Decomposition Theorem, we now need to show that the in = is a rotation. Now, from the above equation, we have that, = so that = = 2 = Which shows to be an orthogonal tensor. But det = det = det det > 0.
From physical considerations, we know that determinant of the deformation gradient is necessarily positive and that of the inverse of is positive because is also positive definite. Hence we can see that, det = +. Which, when added to the fact that = means that is a rotation.

The Strain Tensor


The tensor, 1 1 2 = = 2 2 is called the Green-St Venant or Lagrange Strain Tensor. Note immediately that this tensor vanishes if the deformation gradient is a rotation or the identity tensor.

Material & Spatial Derivatives


Our main concern in this section is with scalars, vectors and tensors of different orders defined over the Euclidean Point Space. We call them Tensor Fields or Tensor Point Functions. By motion, we mean the mapping, : Which is a smooth function that assigns to each material point and time a point = (, ) In the Euclidean point space occupied by the reference particle at .
Department of Systems Engineering, University of Lagos 63 oafak@unilag.edu.ng 12/29/2012

Reference Map
We assume that the Frecht derivative, has a non vanishing determinant = so that the inverse, = 1 (, )

exists. It is called the Reference Map. A field description of any tensor with respect to and is a material description while a description with respect to and is a spatial description. The motion and the reference maps provide a way to obtain a spatial description from a material description and vice versa.

Reference Map
For a given arbitrary-order tensor field (scalar, vector, or higher-order tensor) (, ) over the reference placement, a simple change of variables gives, , = 1 (, ), , By a simple application of the reference map. The reverse operation for a field over a spatial placement, , = (, ), , results from the motion description directly.
(Not distinguishing between the functions, subscript or free, can cause a lot of confusion. Some writers try to avoid this by using uppercase variables for the material functions while using lower case for spatial)

Time Derivatives
Material or substantial derivative of a field defined over the reference placement can be written as, , =
To compute this derivative for a tensor , over a spatial placement requires that we perform the change of variables with the motion function, = (, ) to first obtain, (, ), , and then perform the material time derivative.

Spatial Derivatives
We have seen that the material evolves in space in a continuous sequence of spatial placements. This is time dependent. We also have a reference, time independent placement. It is always necessary to distinguish between these two. Accordingly we have referred to the tensor fields in one as spatial tensors and those in the other as material tensors.

Spatial Derivatives

Apart from time derivatives, we need spatial derivatives to compute gradients, divergences, curls, etc. of field variables. For this purpose it is necessary to distinguish between the derivatives of variables in the Material and in the Spatial description.

Vector Gradients, contd


It follows immediately that Div tr = tr grad = grad T : = grad : T = T : grad by the definition of the inner product. We also note that, 1 = grad Again remember here that the definition of divergence is the trace of grad so that, div = tr grad = tr 1 = : T = T : as required to be shown.

Deformation Rates & Spins


We are now able to define tensors that quantify the deformation and spin rates. Recall that we are always able to break a second-order tensor into its symmetric and antisymmetric parts. The symmetric part: 1 1 T = + grad[ , ] + gradT [ , ] 2 2 is defined as the rate of deformation or stretching tensor. And the anti-symmetric part, 1 1 T = grad , gradT [ , ] 2 2 is the spin tensor.

While these two resemble the definition for the small strain tensors and rotation as they relate to the displacement gradient, the quantities here are not approximations but apply even in large deformation and spin rates. Using the two equations above, we are able to write, = +

Rigid Motions
Whenever motion evolves in such a way as to keep the distances between two spatial points unchanged in time, we have rigid motion. Consider a small material fibre lying between the points and Y. As the motion evolves, the length () of the fibre is, = = , , or 2 = , , , , differentiating, = , ,

Rigid Motion
We now proceed to show that in such a motion, the stretching rate, , = . We note that, for a rigid motion, the time rate of change, = 0. This clearly means that, = , , = 0 Differentiating the above, bearing in mind that grad = gradT + gradT , we have, gradT , + , , = 0 so that , = , gradT ,

Isochoric Motion
If during the motion, the volume of any arbitrary material region does not change, the motion is called isochoric or isovolumic. Recall that the volume ratio = Furthermore, = div , . Consequently, isochoric motion results when = 0 or div , = 0. The last condition derives from the Reynolds transport theorem that we next discuss.

Steady Motion
Motion is said to be steady when the local acceleration , t B (at every point) is zero. In this case, the substantial acceleration, = + grad = grad In this case, the deformed body, B is independent of time. Hence, B = B In steady motion, all the particles that pass through a particular spatial point (coincides here with material point) does so at the same velocity.
