STRESS & STRAIN

Deformation
Dilation: a change in volume
Translation: a change in place
Rotation: a change in orientation
Distortion: a change in form

BASIC CONCEPTS
(a). Force: vector quantity with magnitude and direction
(b). Resolving by the parallelogram of forces
Modified Price and Cosgrove (1990)
Two Types of Force
Body Forces (i.e. gravitational force)
Contact Forces (i.e. loading)

STRESS
Stress defined as force per unit area:
= F/A
A = area, Stress units = Psi, Newton (N),
Pascal (Pa) or bar (10

Pa)

(Davis and Reynolds, 1996)
(Twiss and Moores, 1992)

Compressive Fractures
Body force works from distance and depends on the amount of materials
affected (i.e. gravitational force).
Surface force are classes as compressive or tensile according to the
distortion they produce.
Stress is defined as force per unit area.
Stress at the point can be divided as normal and shear component
depending they direction relative to the plane.
Structural geology assumed that force at point are isotropic and
homogenous
Stress vector around a point in 3-D as stress ellipsoid which have three
orthogonal principal directions of stress and three principal planes.

The inequant shape of the ellipsoid has to do with forces in rock and has
nothing directly to do with distortions.
