ME 621 Introduction to Solid Mechanics Mid Term Examination: 19 Sept 2012 (i) Use notations employed in the class.

New notations may be misunderstood. (ii) Show all the work/calculations/steps clearly. 1.(i) Given Tij = Ekkij +2Eij, W = (1/2) TijEij, and P = TijTij. (a) Express W and P entirely in terms of the components of E and constants and . (b) Express the components of E entirely in terms of the components of T and constants and . (ii) While talking about isotropic tensors, I left an exercise for you to verify that the 4th order tensor Cijlk = ijkl + ikjl + iljk , where , and are scalar, is isotropic. Hmmmnow is the time that you show it to me in your answer sheet. 2. For simple shear xi = Xi + X12i , (a) find the principal stretches and (b) show that the angle

through which the principal axes of stretch in 0 are rotated so as to become principal
axes of stretch in t is given by tan = 1/2. 3. Let {N (i ) , i } and {n (i ) , i } be the eigen pairs of the right stretch tensor U and the left stretch tensor V, respectively. Show that the deformation gradient
F = i n ( i ) N ( i ) and the rotation tensor R = n ( i ) N ( i ) .
i =1 i =1 3 3

4.(i) Show that the material time derivative of J equals J trace(D), where J is the determinant of deformation gradient F and D is the strain rate tensor. (ii) Let I1, I2 and I3 be the principal invariants of right Cauchy-Green tensor C. What is the mistake in the following equation? Note that Bij are the components of left CauchyGreen tensor B in the following equation.

BprBrsBsq - I1BprBrq + I2Bpq - I3pq = 0

5. Consider the motion xi = Xi + 2tX21i, find (i) the acceleration field (ii) the strain rate and the spin tensors, and (iii) the rate of extension/length of the line element P'Q' = (1, 2, 0) in t.
