S. L.
This flashcard set delves into advanced geology concepts, focusing on stress, strain, and deformation at the university level. It covers key principles like Amonton’s Law, Byerlee’s Law, and Hooke’s Law, along with symbols, graphs, and equations related to stress, strain, and fluid pressure. The set also explores Poisson’s ratio, Lamé parameters, and Mohr circles, providing insights into how forces and pressures interact within geological materials. Ideal for geology students and researchers, this flashcard set helps understand the fundamental mechanics of rock deformation and stress analysis, essential for comprehending tectonic processes and material behavior under pressure.

Flashcards

Pc 

defined and equation

confining pressure

Pc=rho.g.h

typical rock density

2500kg/m3

typical lithostatic gradient is

100MPa per 3km

stable continental crust T increase with depth

.

what can affect gradient of T with depth

stretching and shortening

natrual or logarithmic strain in defined by

e = ln(l/l0)

Sqiggly e

l is deformed length and l0 is the undeformed length

sqiggly e with a dot above it

deformation rate

squiggly e

stretching ratio

time to reach a strain rate of 1

t* = 1.0/squiggly e with dot

differential stress

difference in maximum and minimum principal stresses (sigmamax-sigmamin)

two lines on strength depth diagram

.

hydrostatic pressure equation

P=rho.g.h

rho=103 (water)

graphs of the variations of confining pressure and pore fluid pressure

.

on graphs of the variations of confining pressure and pore fluid pressure:

what are the three lines called

hydrostatic pressure

geostatic pressure

pressure of interstitial water

Ks

Shear force

Kcos(angle of force)

Kn

normal force

Ksin(angle of force)

symbol of stress acting parallel to the surface

tau

symbol of stress acting normal to a surface

.

way of visualising stess and strain

you feel stress but you see strain

Heims rule

 

SV = SH = Sh (or, S1 = S2 = S3)

SV=principal stress

SH and Sh = maximum and minimum horizontal stress

 

does Heim's rule apply near the surface

SV > SH =/= Sh.

geology compressive forces are...

(sign convention)

positive

variations in normal and shear stress with changes in orientation graph

.

variations in normal and shear stress with changes in orientation graph, which is the top and bottom line?

.

at what angle to the principal stress does maximum shear stress accur

45 degrees

the value of maximum shear stress is always (relationship)

half the differential stress

where is 2 theta measured from on a mohrs circle

clockwise (when tensile stress is negative)

centre of a Mohrs circle is

mean stress

diameter of a Mohrs circle is 

differential stress

Hookes Law

e=kF

hydrostatic value

lamda = (pore-pressure)/(geostatic pressure)

lamda on a graph?

.

v

Poissons ratio

poissons ratio range

0 to 0.5

Poissons ratio

compressibility

v=0.5 means

v=Poissons ratio

v=0.5=incompressible

2 Lamé parameters

lamda and G

deformation rate
