Assignment for Practice


(Not for Submission)

4.1 In a state of plane strain in the x-y plane, the strain components associated with x-y
axes are
εxx = 900×10-6, εyy = 100×10-6, γxy = -800×10-6
Find the principal strains and the orientation of the principal strain directions.

4.2 The readings of a 450 strain-rosette are


εa = 100×10-6, εb = 200×10-6, εc = 900×10-6
Find the magnitude of the principle strains.

4.3 A 600 strain-rosette recorded following normal strains:


ε00 = 500×10-6 , ε600 =800×10-6, ε1200 = -600×10-6
Determine the strains in x-y plane if ε00 coincides with εxx . Also determine the
principal strains.

4.4 Show that for plane strain, the various strain components in polar coordinates (r, θ)
are
∂u 1 ∂v u ∂v 1 ∂u v
εrr = ; εθθ = + ; γrθ = + −
∂r r ∂θ r ∂r r ∂θ r

4.6 Using the results of 4.4, show that if a general three dimensional deformation is to be
described in cylindrical co-ordinates (r, θ, z) in which the displacement components
are u, v and w, respectively, the strain components (other than those given in 4.4) are
∂w ∂u ∂w 1 ∂w ∂v
εzz = ; γrz = + ; γθz = +
∂z ∂z ∂r r ∂θ ∂z
