Study Notes

Strain

  • Strain is a measure of deformation.
  • Normal strain is the change in length of a line segment.
  • Shear strain is the change in angle between two perpendicular line segments.
  • The displacement of a point P is represented by (u1, u2, u3).
  • The displacement of points Q and R can be calculated based on the partial derivatives of the displacement field.

Displacement Field

  • The coordinates of points P, Q, and R before and after deformation can be expressed as follows.
    • P: (x1, x2, x3)
    • Q: (x1 + ∆x1, x2, x3)
    • R: (x1, x1 + ∆x2, x3)
    • P': (x1 + u1P, x2 + u2P, x3 + u3P) = (x1 + u1, x2 + u2, x3 + u3)
    • Q': (x1 + ∆x1 + u1Q, x2 + u2Q, x3 + u3Q)
    • R': (x1 + u1R, x2 + ∆x2 + u2R, x3 + u3R)

Deformation Field

  • The length of the line segment P'Q' can be found by:
    • P′Q′ = √(x1P′−x1Q′)^2 + (x2P′−x2Q′)^2 + (x3P′−x3Q′)^2
  • The length of the line segment P'Q' can be expressed as:
    • P′Q′ = ∆x1√(1 + (∂u1/∂x1))^2 + (∂u2/∂x1)^2 + (∂u3/∂x1)^2
    • P′Q′ ≈ ∆x1(1 + (∂u1/∂x1)/2) if the displacement gradients are small.
  • Linear normal strain is defined as:
    • ε11 = (P′Q′ - PQ)/PQ = ∂u1/∂x1
    • ε22 = ∂u2/∂x2
    • ε33 = ∂u3/∂x3
  • Shear strain (γxy) is the change in angle between two lines originally parallel to the x and y axes.
    • γ12 = (x2Q′ - x2QP’)/ ∆x1 + (x1R′ - x1RP’)/ ∆x2 = ∂u1/∂x2 + ∂u2/∂x1
    • γ23 = ∂u2/∂x3 + ∂u3/∂x2
    • γ13 = ∂u3/∂x1 + ∂u1/∂x3
    • Different notations exist for shear strains, often related to the components of the strain tensor.

Strain Tensor

  • The strain tensor can be used to represent both normal and shear strains.
  • The strain tensor is a symmetric tensor, meaning εij = εji.
  • Engineering shear strain is often represented as γij = 2εij.
  • The strain tensor components can be calculated as follows:
    • εij = (1/2)(∂ui/∂xj + ∂uj/∂xi)
    • ε = (1/2)(∇u + ∇u^T)
