Continuum mechanics
Continuum mechanics

Denition Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics concerned with the stresses in solids, liquids and gases and the deformation or ow of these materials. A continuum disregards the molecular structure of matter and pictures it as being without gaps or empty spaces.

Denition Solid mechanics deals with solid materials. A solid has a dened rest shape and can support shear stresses. Fluid mechanics deals with uids (both liquids and gases). A uid takes the shape of its container and cannot support shear stresses.

Deformation and strain tensors


Denition Because F still includes rigid body rotation it is not a direct measure for deformation. Therefore look at the change of length of a line-element between two material points |dx|2 = (dx, dx) = (F dX, F dX) = (F T F dX, dX) := (CdX, dX), where C = F T F is the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor. A deformation quantity which becomes zero when there is no deformation present is the Lagrangian strain tensor E= 1 1 (C I) = (G + G T + G T G). 2 2

Linear deformation
Denition In linear deformation theory the displacement gradients are small compared to unity ||G|| = u X =: 1.

In linear deformation theory all O(2 ) terms are neglected. A consequence of this is that the material and spatial displacement gradients are very nearly equal u u x u = = X x X x I+ u X = u (1 + O()). x

Properties Several properties hold for the symmetric, second-order linear strain tensor The principal strain direction is a direction for which the orientation of an element at a given point is not altered by a pure strain deformation (no shear strain component). The principal strain values ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) are the unit relative displacements (normal strain components) that occur in the principal directions.
