Lecture 6 - summary

Review: Continuum model

on S :
Three scales: d
on ∂Ω : T = T ( n )
Structural scale (H,B,D..) >> REV >> molecular scale

The three scales are separated (“>>” operator)

Application: Hydrostatics problem In cartesian coordinates

Equilibrium condition

Solution after integration:

Satisfying BCs leads to:

Stress tensor and stress vector:
