6.1 Hypothesis of the Linear Elasticity Theory
Hypothesis of the Linear Elastic Model
The simplifying hypothesis of the Theory of Linear Elasticity are:
1. ‘Infinitesimal strains and deformation’ framework
2. Existence of an unstrained and unstressed reference state
3. Isothermal, isentropic and adiabatic processes
8
Hypothesis of the Linear Elastic Model
1. ‘Infinitesimal strains and deformation’ framework the displacements are infinitesimal: material and spatial configurations or coordinates are the same
material and spatial descriptions of a property & material and spatial
differential operators are the same:
the deformation gradient , so the current spatial density is approximated by the density at the reference configuration.
Thus, density is not an unknown variable in linear elastic problems.

6.2 Linear Elastic Constitutive Equation
R. Hooke observed in 1660 that, for relatively small deformations of an object, the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load.
Hooke’s Law (for 1D problems) states that in an elastic material strain is directly proportional to stress through the elasticity modulus.

This proportionality is generalized for the multi-dimensional case in the Theory of Linear Elasticity.
It constitutes the constitutive equation of a linear elastic material. The 4th order tensor is the constitutive elastic constants tensor:

Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of an elastic material. It is given by the ratio of the uniaxial stress over the uniaxial strain.
Poisson's ratio is the ratio, when a solid is uniaxially stretched, of the transverse strain (perpendicular to the applied stress), to the axial strain (in the direction of the applied stress).

The linear elastic problem can be viewed as a system of actions or data inserted into a mathematical model made up of the EDP’s and boundary conditions , which gives a response (or solution) in displacements, strains and stresses.
Generally, actions and responses depend on time. In these cases, the problem is a dynamic problem, integrated in .
In certain cases, the integration space is reduced to . The problem is termed quasi-static.

The quasi-static linear elastic problem does not involve time derivatives. Now the time variable plays the role of a loading descriptor: it describes the
evolution of the actions.
For each value of the actions -characterized by a fixed value - a response is obtained.
Varying , a family of actions and its corresponding family of responses are obtained.

To solve the isotropic linear elastic problem posed, two approaches can be used: Displacement formulation - Navier Equations Eliminate and from the general system of equations. This
generates a system of 3 eqns. for the 3 unknown components of . Useful with displacement BCs. Avoids compatibility equations. Mostly used in 3D problems. Basis of most of the numerical methods.
Stress formulation - Beltrami-Michell Equations. Eliminates and from the general system of equations. This
generates a system of 6 eqns. for the 6 unknown components of . Effective with boundary conditions given in stresses. Must work with compatibility equations. Mostly used in 2D problems. Can only be used in the quasi-static problem.

From A. E. H. Love's Treatise on the mathematical theory of elasticity: “According to the principle, the strains that are produced in a body by the application,
to a small part of its surface, of a system of forces statically equivalent to zero force and zero couple, are of negligible magnitude at distances which are large compared with the linear dimensions of the part.”
Expressed in another way: “The difference between the stresses caused by statically equivalent load systems is
insignificant at distances greater than the largest dimension of the area over which the loads are acting.”

Saint-Venant’s Principle
Saint Venant’s Principle is often used in strength of materials.
It is useful to introduce the concept of stress: The exact solution of this problem is very complicated.
This load system is statically equivalent to load system (I). The solution of this problem is very simple.
Saint Venant’s Principle allows approximating solution (I) by solution (II) at a far enough distance from the ends of the beam.
63
The solution of the lineal elastic problem is unique: It is unique in strains and stresses. It is unique in displacements assuming that appropriate boundary
conditions hold in order to avoid rigid body motions.
This can be proven by Reductio ad absurdum ("reduction to the
absurd"), as shown in pp. 189-193 of the course book. This proof is valid for lineal elasticity in infinitesimal strains. The constitutive tensor is used, so proof is not only valid for isotropic
problems but also for orthotropic and anisotropic ones.

Hypothesis of the Linear Thermo-elastic Model
The simplifying hypothesis of the Theory of Linear Thermo-elasticity are:
1. Infinitesimal strains and deformation framework Both the displacements and their gradients are infinitesimal.
2. Existence of an unstrained and unstressed reference state The reference state is usually assumed to correspond to the reference
configuration.
3. Isentropic and adiabatic processes – no longer isothermal !!! Isentropic: entropy of the system remains constant Adiabatic: deformation occurs without heat transfer

To solve the isotropic linear thermoelastic problem posed thermal analogies are used.
The thermoelastic problem is solved like an elastic problem and then, the results are “corrected” to account for the temperature effects.
They use the same strategies and methodologies seen in solving isotropic linear elastic problems: Displacement Formulation - Navier Equations. Stress Formulation - Beltrami-Michell Equations.

Although the 2nd analogy is more commonly used , the 1st analogy requires less corrections.
The 2nd analogy can only be applied if the thermal strain field is integrable. It is also recommended that the integration be simple.
The particular case Homogeneous material: Lineal thermal increment:
is of special interest because the thermal strains are: and trivially satisfy the compatibility conditions (involving second
order derivatives).

The solution to the system of actions where and are two given scalar values, is .
This can be proven by simple substitution of the linear combination of actions and responses into the governing equations and boundary conditions.
When dealing with non-linear problems (plasticity, finite deformations, etc), this principle is no longer valid.
The response to the lineal thermoelastic problem caused by two or more groups of actions is the lineal combination of the responses caused by each action individually.
