The power of the interior forces in solid mechanics

  • Chapter
Continuum Thermomechanics

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 76))

Abstract

In three-dimensional solid mechanics the power of the interior forces seems to have a very fixed even intangible expression. Nevertheless it is possible to adapt it to the problems under consideration. Four examples are given. The first example is devoted to microscopic motions which modify the macroscopic properties of materials. This is the case for materials which can be damaged or involve solid-solid phase changes. The second example deals with new materials of civil engineering made of a large number of long fibres buried in a solid. The fibres, for instance long textile fibres, apply non-local actions. The last two examples are devoted to the old and complex problem of collisions of rigid and deformable bodies. The basic idea which is developed is that the system made of a point moving with respect to a rigid body is deformable since the distance of the point to the body changes.
