Ayşe comes first and sits at point c1 on an elastic beam.

Work done by weight WA :

Later, while Ayşe is sitting, Berrin comes and sits at point c2.

 

Work done by weight WB :

 

(Because Berrin hasn't settled down yet. There is no WB force at c2 at this moment.)

 

(Because when Berrin sat down, Ayşe was already sitting. WA force was present in C1 .)

From the instant Ayşe starts to sit, the force and deflection at point c1 increase linearly, and the force and deflection reach their maximum values ​​at the last position of the sitting. For this reason, the F-ΔL diagram appears as follows. (This is a general rule. Try to notice this situation while sitting on a flexible floor or chair.)

Example-1: Deformation work when there are 2 forces in the same direction:

If Berrin had sat first,then Ayşe, or if they had both sat at the same time, the total Ud would not have changed.(Superposition method). This rule will be used in the future.

  • Let's consider an object placed at a fixed corner. Let's first apply horizontal force F to this object.

If first F,

then F1, and last F2

are applied to the object:

 

: The amount of deformation of k in the F direction due to the force F

 

: Additional deformation amount of k in the F direction due to other forces.

 

The deformation work of force F is:

The deformation work of force F1 is:

 

 

 

The deformation work of force F2 is:

  • Force F increases linearly from zero, causing a deformation of ∆𝑘𝐹 on the object, and brings the application point k to 𝑘′.
  • Then, according to the superposition method, while the F force is on the object, we apply other forces such as F1 and F2 to the object respectively, and in this case, point k moves from 𝑘′ to a point such as m. (However, as explained in Example-1, F has no effect anymore in this second deformation.)

Tip 10.1.a: Total Strain Work (Ud) is stored in the object as strain energy (Ui).

 

(10.1.3)

If we squeeze an elastic ball, the total deformation work (Ud) of the squeezing forces is stored in the ball as strain energy (Ui), and this energy continues to remain on the ball as long as it remains in the squeezing position.

Now we will examine these 2 methods one by one:

If we obtain the stresses in terms of strains from the general Hooke relations and substitute them in equation 10.1.12.a:

 

Strain energy density in terms of Cartesian strains components

Question: The superposition method cannot be applied to equations (10.1.4.a-10.1.9.a) and they cannot be collected on top of each other. What do you think is the reason for this?
