Micromechanics - notes of the course

Micromechanics

Toughness: capability to stop propagation of a crack. It is related to energy.

Strength: maximum allowable stress.

Bone: hydroxyapatite (ceramic-like) + collagen (rubber-like).

High strength of composite / biomimetic materials. Different orders of magnitude, for example between tension and compression, parallel and orthogonal direction. Relative sliding between layers under tension; buckling failure mechanism under compression.

Continuum

Continuum:    all physical points are occupied by solid matter we are neglecting interspace between molecules and atoms, even with crystalline materials          for each point (characterized by {x vector}) we can define a displacement vector "u".

We can define ε that is a tensor and a field E(x).

We can define the stress σ(x) that is a Cauchy tensor.

The body is not Φε, it is fixed.

ε -> displacement+ + 6 linear independent equation of the second order tensor E(x)

5: unknown fields, -> 15 equations needed

Body forces b (N/m³) and surface loadings γ (sources).

If we know the geometry (V, Ω), the material properties (E, μ),

Mechanism of composite laminate materials. Different orders of magnitude for example between tension and compression parallel and orthogonal direction. Relative sliding between layers under tension, buckling failure mechanism under compression.
