10.1 PLANE STRAIN
As explained in Chapter 2.2, general state of strain
in a body is represented by a combination of 3
components of normal strain (c
x
, c
y
, c
z
), and 3
components of shear strain (
xy
,
xz
,
yz
).
Strain components at a pt determined by using
strain gauges, which is measured in specified
directions.
A plane-strained element is subjected to two
components of normal strain (c
x
, c
y
) and one
component of shear strain,
xy
.

10. Strain Transformation

10.1 PLANE STRAIN
The deformations are shown graphically below.
Note that the normal strains are produced by
changes in length of the element in the x and y
directions, while shear strain is produced by the
relative rotation of two adjacent sides of the
element.

10. Strain Transformation

10.1 PLANE STRAIN
Note that plane stress does not always cause plane
strain.
In general, unless u = 0, the Poisson effect will
prevent the simultaneous occurrence of plane strain
and plane stress.
Since shear stress and shear

10.2 GENERAL EQNS OF PLANE-STRAIN TRANSFORMATION
Sign Convention
To use the same convention as
defined in Chapter 2.2.
With reference to differential
element shown, normal strains
c
xz
and c
yz
are positive if they
cause elongation along the x
and y axes
Shear strain
xy
is positive if the interior angle AOB
becomes smaller than 90.

10. Strain Transformation

10.2 GENERAL EQNS OF PLANE-STRAIN TRANSFORMATION
Sign Convention
Similar to plane stress, when measuring the normal
and shear strains relative to the x and y axes, the
angle u will be positive provided it follows the
curling of the right-hand fingers, counterclockwise.
Normal and shear strains
Before we develop the
strain-transformation eqn for
determining c
x
;, we must determine
the elongation of a line segment dx
that lies along the x axis and
subjected to strain components.

We can orientate an element at a pt such that the
elements deformation is only represented by
normal strains, with no shear strains.

10.2 GENERAL EQNS OF PLANE-STRAIN TRANSFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Due to Poisson effect, the state of plane strain is not
a state of plane stress, and vice versa.
A pt on a body is subjected to plane stress when
the surface of the body is stress-free.
Plane strain analysis may be used within the plane
of the stresses to analyze the results from the
gauges. Remember though, there is normal strain
that is perpendicular to the gauges.
When the state of strain is represented by the
principal strains, no shear strain will act on the
element.
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
10. Strain Transformation
18
10.2 GENERAL EQNS OF PLANE-STRAIN TRANSFORMATION
IMPORTANT
The state of strain at the pt can also be represented
in terms of the maximum in-plane shear strain. In
this case, an average normal strain will also act on
the element.
The element representing the maximum in-plane
shear strain and its associated average normal
strains is 45 from the element representing the
principal strains.

When homogeneous and isotropic material is

one of the stress directions is influence by the
strains produced by all stresses. This is the result
of the Poisson effect, and results in the form of a

When engineers design for a material, there is a
need to set an upper limit on the state of stress that
defines the materials failure.
For ductile material, failure is initiated by yielding.
For brittle material, failure is specified by fracture.
However, criteria for the above failure modes is not
easy to define under a biaxial or triaxial stress.
Thus, four theories are introduced to obtain the
principal stresses at critical states of stress.

Most common cause of yielding of
ductile material (e.g., steel) is slipping.
Slipping occurs along the contact
planes of randomly-ordered crystals
that make up the material.
Edges of planes of slipping as they appear on the
surface of the strip are referred to as Lders lines.
The lines indicate the slip planes in the strip, which

IMPORTANT
If material is ductile, failure is specified by the
initiation of yielding, whereas if it is brittle, it is
specified by fracture.
Ductile failure can be defined when slipping occurs
between the crystals that compose the material.
This slipping is due to shear stress and the
maximum-shear-stress theory is based on this
idea.
Strain energy is stored in a material when
subjected to normal stress.
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
10. Strain Transformation
108
*10.7 THEORIES OF FAILURE
IMPORTANT
The maximum-distortion-energy theory depends on
the strain energy that distorts the material, and not
the part that increases its volume.
The fracture of a brittle material is caused by the
maximum tensile stress in the material, and not the
compressive stress.
This is the basis of the maximum-normal-stress
theory, and it is applicable if the stress-strain
diagram is similar in tension and compression.

109
*10.7 THEORIES OF FAILURE
IMPORTANT
If a brittle material has a stress-strain diagram that
is different in tension and compression, then
Mohrs failure criterion may be used to predict
failure.
Due to material imperfections, tensile fracture of a
brittle material is difficult to predict, and so theories
of failure for brittle materials should be used with
caution.

When element of material is subjected to
deformations that only occur in a single plane, then
it undergoes plain strain.
If the strain components c
x
, c
y
, and
xy
are known
for a specified orientation of the element, then the
strains acting for some other orientation of the
element can be determined using the plane-strain
transformation equations.
Likewise, principal normal strains and maximum
in-plane shear strain can be determined using
transformation equations.

center of circle [(c
x
+ c
y
)/2, 0] and controlling pt
[c, /2], before plotting the circle.
Radius of circle extends between these two pts
and is determined from trigonometry.

in-plane principal strains are of opposite signs.

CHAPTER REVIEW
If the in-plane principal strains are of same signs,
then absolute maximum shear strain will occur out
of plane and is determined from

Hookes law can be expressed in 3 dimensions,
where each strain is related to the 3 normal stress
components using the material properties E, and u,
as seen in Eqns 10-18.
If E and u are known, then G can be determined
using G = E/[2(1 + u].

Provided the principal stresses for a material
are known, then a theory of failure can be used
as a basis for design.
Ductile materials fail in shear, and here the
maximum-shear-stress theory or the maximum-

failure.
Both theories make comparison to the yield
stress of a specimen subjected to uniaxial
stress.

stress developed in a specimen.
