CHAPTER 3

3.1 Consider the motion: x1 = (1 + kt ) X1 / (1 + kto ), x2 = X 2 , x3 = X 3 .


(a) Show that reference time is t = to . (b) Find the velocity field in spatial coordinates. (c) Show
that the velocity field is identical to that of the following motion:
x1 = (1 + kt ) X1 , x2 = X 2 , x3 = X 3 .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans. (a) At t = to , x1 = X1 , x2 = X 2 , x3 = X 3 . Thus, t = to is the reference time.
(b) In material description, v1 = kX1 / (1 + kto ), v2 = v3 = 0 . Now, from x1 = (1 + kt ) X1 / (1 + kto ) ,
→ X1 = (1 + kto ) x1 / (1 + kt ) , therefore, → v1 = kX1 = kx1 / (1 + kt ), v2 = v3 = 0 .
(c) For x1 = (1 + kt ) X1 , x2 = X 2 , x3 = X 3 , → v1 = kX1 , v2 = v3 = 0
→ v1 = kx1 / (1 + kt ), v2 = v3 = 0 , which are the same as the velocity components in (b).

particle in both a material and a spatial description. (b) If the temperature field in spatical
description is given by θ = Ax1 , what is its material description? Find the material derivative of
θ , using both descriptions of the temperature. (c) Do part (b) if the temperature field is θ = Bx2

Spatial description: The same as above v1 = α , v2 = v3 = 0, a1 = a2 = a3 = 0 ..


(b) The material description of θ is θ = A (α t + X1 ) .
Using the material description: θ = A (α t + X1 ) → Dθ / Dt = (∂ / ∂t ) ⎡⎣ A (α t + X1 ) ⎤⎦ = Aα .

Ans. (a) Since x1 = X1 and x3 = X 3 , therefore there is no motion of the particles in the
x1 and x3 directions. Every particle moves only up and down in the x2 direction.
When t = 1 / 2 → x2 = X 2 + sin π X1 , t = 1 → x2 = X 2 , t = 3 / 2 → x2 = X 2 − sin π X1

3.21 Given displacement field: u1 = kX1 , u2 = u3 = 0, k = 10−4 . Determine the increase in


length for the diagonal element OA of the unit cube (see figure below) in the direction of
e1 + e2 + e3 (a) by using the strain tensor and (b) by geometry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⎡k 0 0⎤

Ans. (a) [u ] = ⎢⎢ 0 0 0 ⎥⎥ = [ E] . Let e1′ = ( e1 + e2 + e3 ) , then the unit elongation in the e1' -

(b) From the given displacement field, we see that the unit cube becomes longer in the
x1 direction by an amount of k , while the other two sides remain the same. The diagonal
OA becomes OA ' , (see Figure), where OA = 3 and
OA ' = (1 + k ) 2 + 1 + 1 = 3 + 2k + k 2 = 3(1 + 2k / 3 + k 2 / 3)
→ OA '− OA = 3(1 + 2k / 3 + k 2 / 3)1/2 − 3 .

( )
1/2
Using binomial theorem, 1 + 2k / 3 + k 2 / 3 = 1 + (1 / 2)(2k / 3) + ... ≈ 1 + k / 3
Thus, OA '− OA = 3(1 + k / 3) − 3 = 3k / 3 → (OA '− OA) / OA = k / 3 , same as that obtained in
part (a).

We see that these two tensors have the same principal scalar invariants. This result demonstrates
that two different tensors can have the same three principal scalar invariants and therefore the
same eigenvalues (in fact, λ1 = τ , λ2 = −τ , λ3 = 0 ). However, corresponding to the same
eigenvalue τ , the eigenvector for T( ) is (e + e ) / 2 , whereas the eigenvector for T( ) is
1 2
1 2
(e1 − e 2 ) / 2 . We see from this example that having the same principal scalar invariants is a
necessary but not sufficient condition for the two tensors to be the same.

3.30 True or false: At any point in a body, there always exist two mutually perpendicular material
elements which do not suffer any change of angle in an arbitrary small deformation of the body.
Give reason(s).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans. True. The strain tensor E is a real symmetric tensor, for which there always exists three
principal directions, with respect to which, the matrix of E is diagonal. That is, the non-diagonal
elements, which give one-half of the change of angle between the elements which were along the
principal directions, are zero.

3.31 Given the following strain components at a point in a continuum:


E11 = E12 = E22 = k , E33 = 3k , E13 = E23 = 0, k = 10−6
Does there exist a material element at the point which decreases in length under the deformation?
Explain your answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans.
⎡k k 0 ⎤ k −λ k 0
⎢ ⎥
[E] = ⎢ k k 0 ⎥ → k k − λ 0 = 0, → ( 3k − λ ) ⎢⎡⎣( k − λ )2 − k 2 ⎥⎤⎦ = 0
⎢⎣ 0 0 3k ⎥⎦ 0 0 3k − λ

( )
→ ( 3k − λ ) −2λ k + λ 2 = 0 → λ1 = 3k , λ2 = 0, λ3 = 2k .
Thus, the minimum unit elongation is 0 . Therefore, there does not exist any element at the point
which has a negative unit elongation (i.e., decreases in length).

3.59 Does the displacement field: u1 = sin X1 , u2 = X13 X 2 , u3 = cos X 3 correspond to a

Ans. Yes. The displacement field obviously exists. In fact, the displacement field is given. There
is no need to check the compatibility conditions. Whenever a displacement field is given, there is
never any problem of compatibility of strain components.

3.62 In cylindrical coordinates ( r ,θ , z ) , consider a differential volume bounded by the three pairs
of faces: r = r and r = r + dr; θ =θ and θ =θ + dθ ; z = z and z = z + dz. The rate at which mass is
flowing into the volume across the face r = r is given by ρ vr ( rdθ )( dz ) and similar expressions
for the other faces. By demanding that the net rate of inflow of mass must be equal to the rate of
increase of mass inside the differential volume, obtain the equation of conservation of mass in
cylindrical coordinates. Check your answer with Eq. (3.15.7 ).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans. Mass flux across the face r = r into the differential volume dV is ( ρ vr )( rdθ ) dz . That
across the face r = r + dr out of the volume is ( ρ vr )r = r + dr ( r + dr ) dθ dz . Thus ,
the net mass flux into dV through the pair of faces r = r and r = r + dr is
( ρ vr )r =r ( rdθ ) dz − ( ρ vr )r =r + dr ( r + dr ) dθ dz = ⎡⎣( ρ vr )r =r − ( ρ vr )r =r + dr ⎤⎦ rdθ dz
− ( ρ vr )r = r + dr drdθ dz .
⎡ ∂ ( ρ vr ) ⎤
Now, ⎡⎣( ρ vr )r = r − ( ρ vr )r = r + dr ⎤⎦ rdθ dz = − ⎢ ⎥ dr ( rdθ dz ) and
⎣ ∂r ⎦
− ( ρ vr )r = r + dr drdθ dz = − ⎡⎣( ρ vr ) + d ( ρ vr ) ⎤⎦ drdθ dz = − ( ρ vr ) drdθ dz , where we have dropped
the higher order term involving ⎡⎣ d ( ρ vr ) ⎤⎦ drdθ dz which approaches zero in the limit compared to
the terms involving only three differentials. Thus, the net mass flux into dV through the pair of
faces r = r and r = r + dr is
