Bodies in Equilibrium, elasticity and fracture

AI Thread Summary
To compress the volume of a steel block by 0.14 percent, a pressure of approximately 224 MPa is required, calculated using the bulk modulus of steel, which is around 160 GPa. This pressure induces a temporary volume change, as steel will return to its original shape once the pressure is released. However, if the pressure exceeds the yield stress of about 220 MPa in some low carbon steels, permanent plastic deformation occurs, resulting in a lasting volume change.

can anyone help me with this please...? :eek:

How much pressure is needed to compress the volume of a steel block by 0.14 percent?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm not sure what units you are used to but I'll use SI here :

The bulk modulus of steel is about
G=160 * 10^9 N/m^2 = dP/(dV/V)
=>dP = G(dV/V)
=160*10^9*0.0014
=224 * 10^6 N/m^2
= 224 MPa

Of course, this change in volume exists only so long as the pressure is applied, and the steel springs back once the pressure is removed. However, in a very small number of low carbon steels, at about 220 MPa, you reach the yield stress and the steel will begin to plastically deform. Once this starts, the volume change becomes permanent.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
