    A point particle is defined by its position in space with respect to anarbitrary reference point, O, accompanied by a coordinate system: theframe of reference.

    Space geometry is Euclidian. Time is considered as absolute andhomogeneous.

    Fundamental quantities for point kinematics are:

    Position:

    Velocity:

    Acceleration:

    Derivatives are taken along the particle trajectory.

    Trajectory: the path of a particle through space in the frame of reference.

    The frame of reference is usually defined by 4 objects

    the origin and 3 unit vectors forming the frame of a vector space.

    The 3 vectors form an orthonormal basis.

    for i different from j

    Both A and the vector basis can be fixed or can vary with time.

    The principle of inertia (Galileo 1630) or Newtons first law of motion:

    Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion unless it is actedupon by an external unbalanced force.

    For an isolated particle,

    This property is called inertia.

    It is true only in a certain set of frames of reference, the so-called Galileanor Newtonian or inertial frames defined as fixed or non-accelerated frames.

    equal to the time derivative of the momentum.

    We now consider a system of point particles moving together.

    Continuum mechanics is the macroscopic description of a system ofmicroscopic particles (defined by their masses and coordinates).

    We assume that we can separate the macroscopic scales (the size of the

    solid, the depth of the liquid) from the microscopic scales (the size of theparticles, the average distance between them).

    When a point particle moves, the force acting on the particle moves too.

    We define the work done by the force during an infinitesimal displacement

    During this infinitesimal path, the force can be considered as constant.

    Defining the kinetic energy of a point particle as

    We can prove that when the particle moves from point A to B:

    Warning: in general, the work done depends on each particular path, notonly on the starting and final points.

    The work per unit time for each particle is

    The total work integrated over the body is

    After some calculation, we get the following simple relation (proof)

    We immediately see that if the net force and the net torque are both zero, thetotal work of the rigid body is zero.

    For internal forces, Newton thirds law gives us zero net force and torque(proof).

    What are external and internal forces ?

    The most important step: define properly the system.

    An internal force can become external to the system, depending on how thesystem boundaries are chosen.

    2 types of forces:

    - body, volume, long distance forces such as gravity or electromagnetic forces

    - contact, short-range forces such as atomic or molecular bounds in crystals.Usually, internal forces are of the second kinds.

    T is the stress field of stress vector: it is a force surface density on the bodysurface and/or on any surface cut through the body.

    In full generality, T is a function of the position on the surface, but it alsodepends on the unit vector normal to the surface. The stress vector depends onthe orientation of the surface with respect to some frame of reference.

    A body in mechanical equilibrium must have no net forceand no net torque. External forces are of 2 kinds: bodyforce (gravity) and surface forces.

    We consider a small volume element in mechanicalequilibrium. For sake of simplicity, we consider thefollowing tetrahedron, sharing three faces with aCartesian frame.

    The normal to the fourth face has coordinates

    Applying Newtons first law

    Applying Newtons third law

    we get the general result:

    We define the stress tensor as

    The stress vector is

    The first normal component corresponds to tension

    or compression along the normal to the face.

    The other 2 components are tangential to the normal.

    They correspond to shear forces.

    For the tetrahedron with external body forces and acceleration:

    Dividing by the surface of the base, we get:

    We now go to the continuum limit and shrink the tetrahedron to a point

    and we recover the previous result.The same apply for the cube and the zero torque constraint (exercise).

    This property holds because internal forces are surface/contact forces,

    for which relevant quantity is the stress, or the force per unit surface.

    The stress tensor thus depends on 6 independent quantities, the 3 eigenvalues and

    the 3 Euler angles of the local rotation matrix to the eigenvectors.

    The 3 eigenvalues are solutions of

    The 3 coefficients of this polynomial form are invariants: they are the same in anyframe of reference.

    Invariant properties of the stress tensor

    The stress tensor is an intrinsic quantity, independent on the frame of reference.

    The values of the components depend of the chosen frame.

    Since the stress tensor is symmetric, we know it has real eigenvalues and there isalways an orthonormal basis where the stress tensor is diagonal.

    Isotropic and deviatoric stress

    The stress tensor is decomposed into the sum of an isotropic tensor calledhydrostatic stress and a symmetric, with zero trace tensor called anisotropic ordeviatoric stress.

    A positive pressure corresponds to a compression.

    The deviator has the same eigenvectors than the stress tensor.

    It depends now only on 2 invariants, plus the 3 Euler angles.

    The divergence theorem

    The volume total of all sink and sources is equal to the net flow across the boundary.

    It comes from Stokes theorem (not trivial).

    We can work out simple examples in 1D and in a cubical region in 3D.

    Using conformal mapping techniques, we can extend this to arbitrary shaped regions.

    The length of the infinitesimal vector is modified onlyby pure deformation, and should not change during rigid solid motions.

    Size changes are due to a symmetric tensor characterizing true deformations.

    Properties of the strain tensor

    Since the strain tensor is symmetric, invariance properties of the stress tensorare also valid here.

    Similarly, the strain tensor can be decomposed into an isotropic tensor and adeviator tensor.

    The isotropic part is an frame invariant quantity, equal to the divergence of thedisplacement field. It measures the relative variation of the volume element atconstant shape

    The anisotropic tensor has zero trace. It measures the change of shape atconstant volume.
