What new element is Castigliano s Theorem introducing? 1. None, it's just a particular case of the PMPE 2. It's a totally different principle that allows to obtain solutions of elasticity problems with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency in- cluding relativistic effects
Which of the following statements is correct? 1. The PVD only applies to linear elastic materials 2. The PVD applies only to elastic materials, but they can be linear or non-linear 3. The PVD applies regardless of the constitutive behavior of the material
Concept Question Which of the following statements is correct? Uo=U for ALL elastic materials(1 Uo=OijEij-U0 ONLY for linear elastic materials Jo=-ijEii for a nonlinear elastic material Statements(1) and 3)
Unit #10- Principle of minimum potential energy and Castigliano's First Theorem Principle of minimum potential energy The principle of virtual displacements applies regardless of the constitutive law. Restrict attention to elastic materials(possibly nonlinear). Start from the Pvd
Strain energy and potential energy of a beam brec sedans hoMe the neutra xxis remain So Figure 1: Kinematic assumptions for a beam Kinematic assumptions for a beam: From the figure: AA'=u3(a1) Assume small deflections: B B\,BB\=3+ duy
How can the paradox with the spring be plained? In other words, which of the following statements is true 1. Equilibrium can be derived from the equiv alence of the external and the internal work 2. Equilibrium is an artifact of our imagina- tion
which generalizes to the statement. This reduces the number of material constants from 81 to 54. In a similar fashion we can make use of the symmetry of the strain tensor This further reduces the number of material constants to 36. To further reduce the number of material constants consider the conclusion from the first law for elastic materials, equation
Introduction to Engineering Heat Transfer These notes provide an introduction to engineering heat transfer. Heat transfer processes set limits to the performance of aerospace components and systems and the subject is one of an enormous range of application. The notes are intended to describe the three types of heat transfer and provide basic tools to enable the readers to estimate the magnitude of heat transfer rates in realistic aerospace
For the potato-shaped body given in class to explain the concept of stress, the field of stress vectors t(n)=t(n)(x)on the plane of normal n given by its cartesian components(1,0, 0) known and its cartesian components are given by the expression
