GLG310 Structural Geology

Force, Stress, and Strength[start reading Chapter 3]

April 21, 2023 GLG310 Structural Geology

• Introduction

• Dynamic analysis

• Force

• Tractions

• Stress

• Relationships between stress and strain

• Deformation experiments

Structural Geology

• Introduces the physical side of Geological Sciences and emphasizes – Geometry (shape, orientation, position, size,

etc.)– Motion (beginning and ending positions and

paths of particles and bodies—deformation or change in geometry)

– Mechanics (explanations of why the geometry and motion are how they are)

Structural Analysis

• Descriptive Analysis– Recognize and describe structures and measure

their locations, geometries and orientations • Scale, Structural Elements

• Kinematic Analysis– Focus on motion of materials

• Dynamic Analysis– Interpret motions in terms of applied forces

Mechanics

• Develop simple rules to explain behavior

• Can be stated in symbolic or mathematical terms



Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian, who has been "considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived.”

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Sir Isaac Newton, first published 5 July 1687

Force: Newton’s Laws of Motion

• Law I: Every body continues in its state of rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed upon it.

• Law II: The rate of change of momentum is proportional to the impressed force and is made in the direction in which the force is impressed.
