RHEOLOGICAL MODELS-

ELASTIC
RHEOLOGY

• The study of the behaviour (flow) of materials under the influence of


stresses.

• The different deformational responses to applied stress depend on the


physical properties of the material under consideration and on external
parameters (pressure, temperature and time).

• The goal is to establish relationships between stresses and deformation.

• Models are useful in predicting the behaviour of material.


ELASTIC BEHAVIOUR IN SOLIDS
The relationship between stress and strain is one of the most fundamental
rheological behaviors to be studied in solid materials

STRESS –STRAIN PLOT


ELASTIC BEHAVIOUR IN SOLIDS

The relationships are mostly obtained and conceived by plotting


a stress-strain or stress-strain rate curve, where strain or strain
rate is plotted along the horizontal axis and stress along the
vertical axis.

Young’s modulus ,Bulk modulus and shear modulus are


fundamental rheological properties of a solid material.
RHEOLOGICAL MODEL(ELASTIC)

• Hooke’s law: linear relationship between stress and strain:


σ =E ε
• The key material property is Young’s modulus, E
• Symbolized by a spring
Elemental representation

They can be mathematically related to each other through a related


rheological property called Poisson’s ratio.
E=2G(1+μ) , E=3K(1-2μ) , E= 9KG/(3K+G)
Young’s modulus E
indication of how easily a material can be stretched or contracted -stiffness.
Bulk modulus K
how a material can withstand an elastic compression -firmness of a material.
Shear modulus G
how easily the material will bend or twist in response to an applied shear stress
