Force, Stress, and Strength [start reading Chapter 3] 10 October 2015GLG310 Structural Geology Introduction Dynamic analysis Force Tractions Stress Relationships between stress and strain Deformation experiments

Structural Geology Introduces the physical side of Geological Sciences and emphasizes –Geometry (shape, orientation, position, size, etc.) –Motion (beginning and ending positions and paths of particles and bodies—deformation or change in geometry) –Mechanics (explanations of why the geometry and motion are how they are) 10/10/2015GLG310 Structural Geology

10 October 2015GLG310 Structural Geology Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian, who has been "considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived.” Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Sir Isaac Newton, first published 5 July 1687 F=mA

10 October 2015 Force: Newton’s Laws of Motion Law I: Every body continues in its state of rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed upon it. GLG310 Structural Geology

10 October 2015 Force: Newton’s Laws of Motion Law II: The rate of change of momentum is proportional to the impressed force and is made in the direction in which the force is impressed. GLG310 Structural Geology
