[QUOTE="MarkusNaslund19, post: 2629309, member: 66619"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Mechanics of Deformable Media (Bhatia and Singh), 5.2: Consider a long rod of elastically isotropic material of L standing vertically in a vacuum in equilibrium under the gravitational field of the earth, then: (i) What are the boundary conditions for [tex]\sigma_{ij}[/tex] on the various surfaces of the rod? (ii) Solve for [tex]\sigma_{ij}[/tex].[h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [tex]\sigma_{ij}[/tex] is defined as the stress on the ith surface in the jth direction. Equilibrium suggests ([tex]\lambda[/tex] + 2[tex]\mu[/tex])grad(div[tex]\vec{s}[/tex]) - [tex]\mu[/tex] curl(curl[tex]\vec{s}[/tex]) + [tex]\rho[/tex] F = 0 where lambda and mu are constants, s is the displacement field, and F is the body force and rho the density of the material. [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] The force IN the rod is the reactant force from it's weight exerted by the surface it rests on. It is purely in the z-axis, in cylindrical polar coordinates. [tex]\sigma_{zz} = -\frac{mg}{A}[/tex] at z=0, the end of the rod touching the surface [tex]\sigma_{zz} = 0[/tex] at z=L, the top of the rod since we're in a vacuum All other stresses at the boundaries are 0. I am not sure if my boundaries above are correct and it is not clear to me how to find the stress tensor for part (ii). [/QUOTE]
