4.7  Equations of Motion

Previous:  Mohr’s Circle in 3-D

NOTES

·        On  -ve face, -ve direction, stress component is positive

·        There is a gradient of of stress component from –ve to +ve face.  Stress field is continuously varying.

Note that center of cube is origin P

Let  be the stress tensor at a point P.  Let  be the body force/volume at that point.

Note :  be the body force/mass.
