An in-depth analysis of elasticity, focusing on equilibrium, strain-displacement, and stress-strain relations. It covers the concepts of strain compatibility equations, hooke's law, and the elasticity tensor. The document also discusses the importance of static determinacy and the implications for calculating stresses.

Static Determinance Let’s review the “4th important concept”:^ we’ll come back to this …
There are there possibilities
(as noted in U.E.)
a. A structure is not sufficiently restrained
(fewer reactions than d.o.f.)

c. Structure is overrestrained
(# reactions > # of d.o.f.)
simultaneously …must solve for reactions
with stresses, strains, etc.
in this case, you must employ the stress-strain equations

they are all related to the 3 displacements. So, the gradients in strain are related in certain ways since
Same for other 5 cases …
Law: The basic relation between force and displacement (recall 8.01) is Hooke’sgeneralize it to encompass all cases. In Unified, you saw particular examples of this, but we now want to

For

there are no coupling terms in the
principal axes of the material
When you apply an extensional stress, no shear strains arise
