Stress and Strain: Basic Concepts of Continuum Mechanics for Geologists

Submitted by Eric Kiser on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 15:35

This book begins by describing real life examples of mechanical states of different materials. The book next discusses stress. This discussion includes force, mohr circles, tensor components of stress, and stress fields. Next strain is discussed. This ranges from measuring deformation to tensor components of infinite and finite strain. The book concludes by outlining different material behaviors. These include Hookean behavior and Newtonian behavior. This last section also discusses energy consumed in deformation.
