1 - Marine Hydrodynamics, Spring 2005. Lecture 3. Marine Hydrodynamics Lecture 3. Stress Tensor Stress Tensor ij The Stress (force per unit area) at a point in a uid needs nine components to be completely speci ed, since each component of the Stress must be de ned not only by the direction in which it acts but also the orientation of the surface upon which it is acting. The rst index i speci es the direction in which the Stress component acts, and the second index j identi es the orientation of the surface upon which it is acting. Therefore, the ith component of the force acting on a surface whose outward normal points in the j th direction is ij.

Consider an in nitesimal body at rest with a surface PQR that is not perpendicular to any of the Cartesian axis. The unit normal vector to the surface PQR is n = n1 x 1 +n2 x 2 +n3 x 3 . The area of the surface = A0 , and the area of each surface perpendicular to Xi is Ai = A0 ni , for i = 1, 2, 3.. Newton's law: Fi = (volume force)i for i = 1, 2, 3.

3 On all 4 faces Note: If is the typical dimension of the body : surface forces 2. : volume forces 3. An example of surface forces is the shear force and an example of volumetric forces is the gravity force. At equilibrium, the surface forces and volumetric forces are in balance. As the body gets smaller, the mass of the body goes to zero, which makes the volumetric equal to zero and leaving the sum of the surface forces equal zero. So, as . forces 0, all4f aces Fi = 0 for i = 1, 2, 3 and i A0 = i1 A1 + i2 A2 + i3 A3 = ij Aj . But the area surface to Xi is Ai = A0 ni . Therefore i A0 = ij Aj = ij (A0 nj ), where ij Aj is of each the notation (represents the sum of all components).

4 Thus i = ij nj for i = 1, 2, 3, where i is the component of Stress in the ith direction on a surface with a normal n . We call i the Stress vector and we call ij the Stress matrix or Tensor . 2. Example: Pascal's Law for Hydrostatics In a static uid, the Stress vector cannot be di erent for di erent directions of the surface normal since there is no preferred direction in the uid. Therefore, at any point in the uid, the Stress vector must have the same direction as the normal vector n and the same magnitude for all directions of n . no summation . Pascal's Law for hydrostatics: ij = (pi ) ( ij ).. p1 0 0. = 0 p2 0.

5 0 0 p3. where pi is the pressure acting perpendicular to the ith surface. If p0 is the pressure acting perpendicular to the surface PQR, then i = ni p0 , but: i = ij nj = (pi ) ij nj = (pi )(ni ). Therefore po = pi , i = 1, 2, 3 and n is arbitrary. 3. Symmetry of the Stress Tensor To prove the symmetry of the Stress Tensor we follow the steps: j ij ji ji o i ij Figure 3: Material element under tangential Stress .. 1. The of surface forces = body forces + mass acceleration. Assume no symmetry. Balance of the forces in the ith direction gives: ( )( ij )T OP ( )( ij )BOT T OM = O( 2 ), since surface forces are 2 , where the O( 2 ) terms include the body forces per unit depth.

6 Then, as 0, ( ij )T OP = ( ij )BOT T OM .. 2. The of surface torque = body moment + angular acceleration. Assume no sym . metry. Balance of moments about o gives: ( ji ) ( ij ) = O( 3 ), since the body moment is proportional to 3 . As 0 , ij = ji . 4. Mass and Momentum Conservation Consider a material volume m and recall that a material volume is a xed mass of mate . rial. A material volume always encloses the same uid particles despite a change in size, position, volume or surface area over time. Mass Conservation The mass inside the material volume is: M ( m ) = d . m(t). Sm(t). m ( t ). Figure 4: Material volume m (t) with surface Sm (t).

7 Therefore the time rate of increase of mass inside the material volume is: d d M ( m ) = d = 0, dt dt m (t). which is the integral form of mass conservation for the material volume m . 5. Momentum Conservation The uid velocity inside the material volume in the ith direction is denoted as ui . Linear momentum of the material volume in the ith direction is ui d . m(t). Newton's law of motion: The time rate of change of momentum of the uid in the material control volume must equal the sum of all the forces acting on the uid in that volume. Thus: d (momentum)i =(body force)i + (surface force)i dt d ui d = Fi d + ij nj dS.

Using the divergence theorems we obtain . d ij ui d = Fi + d . dt xj m(t) m(t). which is the integral form of momentum conservation for the material volume m . 6. Kinematic Transport Theorems Consider a ow through some moving control volume (t) during a small time interval t. Let f ( x, t) be any (Eulerian) uid property per unit volume of uid ( mass, momentum, etc.). Consider the integral I(t): I(t) = f ( x, t) d . (t). According to the de nition of the derivative, we can write d I(t + t) I(t).

Next, we consider the steps 1. Taylor series expansion of f ( x, t + t) about ( x, t). f f ( x, t + t) = f ( x, t) + t ( x, t) + O(( t)2 ). t 2. d = d + d .

For the special case that the control volume is a material volume it is (t) = m (t) and Un = v n , where v is the uid particle velocity.
