3.4 The Equation Of Motion and Symmetry of the Stress Tensor
Here we will combine several results from the previous sections into the so-called equation, which constitutes one of the most important results of this chapter. we will see that this equation leads to the elastic wave equation and in this section it will be used to prove that the stress tensor \(\tau_{ij}\) is symmetric. From equation (3.2.3) and (3.3.6) and Gauss' theorem for tensors we find
where \(\tau_{ji,j}\) is the divergence of \(\tau_{ji}\) , which is a vector. A good discussion of \(\tau_{ji,j}\) and its expression in cylindrical and spherical is provided by Auld(1990).
The last equality in (3.4.1) can be written as
Since (3.4.2) is valid for any arbitrary volume V inside the body, and continuity of the integrand is assumed, we obtain
The proof that equation(3.4.3) follows equation (3.4.2) is by contradiction. If the integrand were different from zero. Equation (3.4.3) is known as Euler's equation of motion. In dyadic form (3.4.3) becomes
The symmetry of the stress tensor will be proved using the principle of angular momentum, which should be written as follows when body forces are present:
Writing in component form, collecting terms in one side, introducing \(\tau_{ij}\) , and using Gauss' theorem and
where \(\phi\) is any scalar, vector, or tensor property we obtain
where the relation \(x_{j,r}=\delta_{jr}\) was used. Now using equation (3.4.3) and symmetry of \(v_jv_k\), equation (3.4.7) becomes
Because the integration volume is arbitrary, if the integrand in equation (3.4.8) is continuous it must be equal to zero:
which means that \(\tau_{jk}\) is symmetric,
Equation (3.4.10) can be used to rewrite (3.3.14) as
so that the matrix equation (3.3.15) becomes
Equation (3.4.12) can also be written in dyadic form:
