- At a point in a stressed body, the Cartesian components of strain are:


ϵxx= 300 μϵ, ϵyy=450 μϵ, ϵzz=300 μϵ
γxy=600 μϵ, γyz=375 μϵ, γzx=450 μϵ
Transform this set of Cartesian components into a new set of Cartesian strain components
relative to an Ox’y’z’ set of coordinates where the Ox’y’z’ axes are defined by the following
direction cosines
a).
x y z
x’ 2/3 2/3 -1/3
y’ -2/3 1/3 -2/3
z’ -1/3 2/3 2/3

ϵx'x'=2697.579 μϵ
