1. Given ij = 2ij + kk ij ; Show (a) ij =

(1+) ij E E kk ij .

Due: 21/1/13 =
E ; 2(1+)

E . (1+)(12)

(b) Cijkl = (ik jl + il jk ) + kl ij , where ij = Cijkl ij . (c) Sijkl =

(1+) (ik jl 2E + il jk ) E kl ij , where ij = Sijkl kl .

Evaluate Cijkl Sklmn . What does the answer imply? 2. For linear isotropic solid, show that the directions of principal stresses and strains is same. How are the principal values related to each other. 3. For a linear elastic solid in equilibrium, show 1 U = 2 V bi ui dV + 1 S ti ui dA, 2 where U = 1 V ij ij dV is the strain energy, bi is the body force per unit mass and ti 2 is the traction on boundary S. 4. In the class, we dealt with tensor (k k)ij = ij + ( + )ki kj .
1 (a) Show (k k)1 = [ij ij (+) k k ]. (+2) i j

(b) Directly verify (k k)ij (k k)1 = ik . jk 5. Use Fourier transform method, solve 2 ( ) = ( ) and show that the solution is x x 1 x ( ) = 4R , where R = | |. x 6. A linear elastic body is subjected to traction ti on its surface S leading to displacement ui . Using Bettis reciprocity theorem and Kelvins solution of unit load acting at location x as the second set of loading, show up (xq ) = S [ti (xq )Gip (xq xq ) Hijp (xq xq )ui (xq )nj ]dA, where Hijp = Cijkl
(Gkp,l +Glp,k ) . 2
