Development of Constitutive Equations for Continuum, Beams and
Plates

Problem 4-1: Summation Convention


Hooke’s law, a constitutive equation for a linear, elastic material,
can be written in general form as:

a) Expand Hooke’s Law. How many independent equations are


there?
b) Express and in terms of Young’s Modulus, E, and
Poisson’s ratio, v.

c) Where does the symmetry of the stress strain tensor come


from?

d) Re-write the Hooke’s law in terms of E and Ȟ.

e) Specify the constitutive equations to the case of plane stress.

Problem 4-1
Solution:
a) Hooke’s law

where

For i=1

For i=2

For i=3
b) Express in terms of E, v

We need to solve for Let’s assume a plane stress state in a


uniaxial test

Note: Assume V11=0 because it is a slender bar


Substitute the stress components into the inversed form of the
constitutive equations

We have

From the constitutive equations

We have
Combining equation (2) and (4), we have

Substitute (7) into (9), solve for

Substitute (10) into (7), solve for

c) Symmetry of the stress tensor

Let’s take an element in 2D(a unit square)


We know the normal forces are equal in magnitude and opposite
in direction at opposite faces, so as the shear forces.

Now let’s prove F F 1 2 , take moments about the center


d) Rewrite Hook’s law in terms of E and v.

Substitute equation (10) and (11) in part b into Hook’s law, we have:

e) For Plane stress

Problem 4-2: Inverting constitutive equations


The original form of the constitutive equation is to express stress
ıij in terms of strain. Invert the 3D constitutive equation and the
2D (plane stress) constitutive equation, meaning that strain İij
will be expressed in terms of stresses. The starting point of this
problem is Eq. 4.19 for the 3D case in the printed lecture notes.
For the 2D case you can use Eq. 4.32 as a starting point.

Problem 4-2 Solution:

(1) The 3D constitutive equations for isotropic linear elastic


materials expressed in terms of E, v is

By making contraction i j k , we have

Express in terms of E and Q


Substitute equation (3) into equation (1), we have

Straight forwardly, the above equation gives

which is the inverted form of 3D Hook’s law

(2) The 2D constitutive equations for plane stress in terms of E,v is

Where
Since

making contraction of equation (1):

Replacing Straight forwardly

Substitute (5) into (1), we have

Rearrange (6), we have the inverted form


Problem 4-3: Stress and strain deviator

Defining the stress deviator sij

and the strain deviator eij

Convert the constitutive equation into two separate equations,


one for the spherical part and other for the distortional part. The
spherical part gives a relation between the hydrostatic pressure
and the change of volume (Eq. 4.21). For the distortional part the
equation was not given in the notes, so we are asking you to find
it.
Problem 4-3 Solution:

From the lecture notes, express in terms of H we have


From definition of stress deviator

We have

From definition of strain deviator

We have

Substitute equation (3) and (5) into 3D constitutive equation


We have

Combining equation (1) with equation (7)

Finally,
