We do not characterize materials by their
E
mnpq
. The
E
mnpq
are
useful in doing transformations, manipulations, etc. We characterize materials by their
“ENGINEERING CONSTANTS
”
(
or
, Elastic Constants)
(what we can physically measure)
There are
5 types
1.
Longitudina
l (Young
’s) (Extensional)
Modulus
:
relates
extensional strain in the direction of loading to stress in the direction of loading.
(3 of these)
2.
Poisson
’
s
Ratio
:
relates extensional strain in the loading
direction to extensional strain in another direction.
(6
of
these
…only 3 are independent)

3.
Shear
Modulus
:
relates shear strain in the plane of shear
loading to that shear stress.
(3 of these)
4.
Coefficient
of
Mutual
Influence
:
relates shear strain due to shear
stress in that plane to extensional strain
or
, relates extensional
strain due to extensional stress to shear strain.
(up to 18 of these)
5.
Chentsov
Coefficient
:
relates shear strain due to shear stress in
that plane to shear strain in another plane.

shear strain factor of 2 is used.
Again, these are not all independent. Just as for the Poisso
n

involve the longitudinal and shear
moduli
(since these
couple extensional and shear or shear to shear). There are 12 of them:

material, we no longer have any more
zero terms in the elasticity or compliance matrix, but more nonzero terms
are related.

Testing
Testing is used for a variety of purposes. Depending on the purpose, the technique and
“
care” will vary. The
“fidelity
” needed in the testing depends on the use.
Basically, apply a load (stress) condition and measure appropriate responses:

(or maybe vice versa)
Concerns in test specimens
?
Boundary conditions and introduction of load
?
Stress concentrations
?
Achievement of desired stress state
?
Cost and ease of use also important (again, depends on
use of test)
Many of these concerns will depend on the material / configuration and load condition. This generally involves issues of scale. “Properties
” of a material / structure depends on the
“
scale
” at which you
look at it.
Scale
≈
level of homogenization (average behavior over a certain
size)

atoms and their bonds.

Must look at responses at length of
several fiber diameters
Example 3:

Each truss member responds in a certain way, but we can characterize the truss behavior on a large scale by looking at the displacement between A and B (

) and get a
“
truss
stiffness”.

Any material is really a structure. We are making an engineering approximation by characterizing it at a certain level.
?
that is the limit / assumption on
“material
properties
” and the tests we use to measure
them.
(so elastic constants are an engineering representation of “micromechanical
” behavior)
Thus,
let
’
s keep in mind such issues of scale as we consider test
methods. Must measure at or above pertinent scale of homogenization / averaging. There are many different types of tests, but in dealing with elastic constants, there are 3 basic load conditions (tension, compression, shear) The test specimen will depend on the material and the load condition.

what to do with test data
Test data must be
“
reduced
” to give the engineering
constants.

Typical stress-strain data (for ductile material)

The engineering constants are defined (somewhat arbitrary) as various parts of this curve. Generally within the “
initial
linear
region
”
.

Often use linear regression

stress-strain relations with
engineering constants attained in this manner are valid
only
in the
linear region.
Thus, one must report:
?
slope (engineering constant)
?
region of applicability
Note
:
we have not dealt with temperature
effects.
We will consider this later.
Also
note
:
strength / failure properties are
much harder to measure.
(recall Unified:
average behavior
vs. local /
weakest link)
