2. Deformation, Strain and Material Properties
Fluid Mechanics is the study of the motion of the fluids, the forces that result from such motion, and the forces required to cause such motion.
We are surrounded by fluids all around us. The motions of air in our atmosphere and water in our ocean and river determine the weather, so essential for life on earth.
In fact we are concerned with motion of fluids in a more intimate manner as well. The flow of blood in our veins and arteries, of the other bodily fluids, of air that we breathe are all necessary for maintaining life.

18. Poisson Ratio
σxx
εyy = - ν εxx
ν is Poisson ratio
σxx

19. Stress-Strain Relationship
Let us consider εxx.
σxx produces an εxx = σxx /E
σyy produces an εyy = σyy /E, which through Poisson ratio gives εxx = -νεyy = - νσyy/E.
Similarly for σzz .

20. Generalized Hooke’s Law
Shear stresses do not cause any normal strain
εxx = σxx/E – νσyy/E - ν σzz/E
= [σxx – ν(σyy + σzz)]/E
Similarly for εyy and εzz

21. Geometric compatibility:
An Example F
σyy = −F/A, σzz = 0
Geometric compatibility:
εxx = 0 y x
εxx = [σxx – ν(σyy + σzz)]/E
0 = [σxx – ν(σyy + 0)]/E,
→ σxx =νσyy = − ν F/A
εyy = [σyy – ν(σxx + σzz)]/E = [−F/A + ν F/A]/E = −(1− ν)F/AE

22. Shear Strain θ2 θ θ1 Shear strain γ is π/2 − θ
Shear strain is also seen as:
θ1 − θ2 (with clockwise angles as positive θ

23. Shear Strain θ2 θ1 θ1 = 0.013/0.2 = 0. 065 θ2 = 0.012/0.2 = 0. 06

24. Shear Stress θ Shear strain γ is related to shear stress τ by
γxy = τxy/G,
where G is shear modulus θ
It can be shown that γxy does not depend on other components of stress.

32. An Example p Tank is flush when empty.
Find end forces when pressure is p p
Due to p: σzz = pr/ 2t, σθθ = pr/ t z
If end forces F, axial stress due to it is F/2πrt
εzz = [(pr/ 2t − F/2πrt) −νpr/t ]/E
Equate it to 0 and determine F

41. Pre-Stressing A
Section AA A

42. Pre-stressing
(a) Tendon being stresses during casting. Tension in tendon, no stress in concrete.
(b) After casting, the force is released and the structure shrinks.
(d) FBD of concrete. The residual force in the tendon is trying to compress the concrete, which is in tension now.
(c) FBD of tendon. The concrete does not let the tendon shrink as much as it would on its own. This results in residual tension in the tendon.

43. Pre-stressing: A simple example
A concrete beam of cross-sectional area 5 cm×5 cm and length 2 m be cast with a 10 mm dia mild steel rod under a tension of 20 kN. The external tension in steel released after the concrete is set. What is the residual compressive stress in the concrete?
T = 20 kN →σ = 255 Mpa →ε = 1.21×10- 3 →δ = mm
