Some vocabulary
• σ : stress sensor (think : pressure)
• ε : strain sensor (think : displacement)
• E : Young modulus (scalar ? no! )
• v : Poisson ration (scalar ? No !)
• ΔT : temperature change.
• k* = bulk modulus (pressure increase needed to effect a
given relative decrease in volume )
F=-kx σ=Eε
States of matter
vs
phases
Different states of matter must be different phases
However, the reverse is not true.
• Annealing,
• Case hardening
• Precipitation strengthening,
• Tempering
• Quenching

Active materials
• Piezzoelectricity : generate voltage in response to
applied stress
• Piezzoresistive : change in resistance in response
to applied stress
• Magnetostriction : change in shape as
consequence of applied magnetic field
• Magnetoresistance : change in electrical resistivity
in response to applied stress
• Semiconductors : gap in the electric band
structure
Patterns and waves : crystals
1 nm 1 nm wavelength
electronic waves
Photonic crystals
EXTREMELY COMPLEX
I’ll give here some very simple examples
Instron :
mechanical testing
Measures :
Force necessary to apply the
constant speed ( precision 0.1N)
Measures positions (precision :
0.01 mm)
Earth quake
Extension (mm)
What do you measure ?
• Stress strain and surface :
How to measure Poisson’s ratio
• Poisson's Ratio :
1 - 2(VT ÷ VL)2 ÷ 2 - 2(VT ÷ VL)2
η 1 sin i1 = η 2 sin i2
η = ε rµ r
Spectroscopy
• Study of matter and its properties by investigating
light, sound, or particles that are emitted,
absorbed or scattered by the matter under
investigation.
• Example of probes :
– IR light
– Visible light
– Magnetic Field
– Inelastic scattering of light to analyse vibrational and
rotational modes of molecules (Raman)
– Neutrons
Visible absorption spectra
Example of IR spectrum
Case study : Resistance measuring
Input impedance !
Experimental work
• Build a model to have estimates
• Everything is an approximation
• Nothing is really linear, it’s linear by
domain
• Contacts/joints/interfaces : always a
problem
• Everything varies with frequency !
• Everything depends of the time scale you
are using.
