Understanding the Stress Induced in Cylindrical Nanowires: Equations 12-13

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the stress induced in cylindrical nanowires, specifically regarding equations 12 and 13 from a referenced article. Participants clarify that these equations derive from a 3D application of Hooke's law for isotropic materials. A link to additional resources on Hooke's law is provided to aid comprehension. The original poster expresses a lack of familiarity with the mathematical concepts involved due to their background in electrical engineering. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in material science for interpreting the equations.

Hi,

I came across a piece of maths with which I am struggling to find info on. It has to do with the stress induces in a cylindrical shaped wire (nanowire to be precise).
The article where the maths appear is attached. The specific problem is in equations 12 through 13.

Thanks

Can you be more specific about what you are not understanding in those equations?
 
I don't know how they derived it. Is it standard equations?
 
Great, thanks for that. Seeing as I am an electrical engineer, I know nothing of these things!

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
