Integration of the Strain Field
The integration of the strain field ε ( x,t ) is performed in two
steps:
1. Integration of derivative of θ ( x,t ) using the1st order PDE system
derived for ∇θ1 , ∇θ 2 and ∇θ3 . The solution will be of the type:
θ=i θi ( x, y, z, t ) + ci ( t ) i ∈ {1, 2,3}
The integration constants ci ( t ) can be obtained knowing the value of
the rotation vector in some points of the medium (boundary conditions).
2. Known ε ( x,t ) and θ ( x,t ) , u is integrated using the 1st order PDE
REMARK system derived for u ⊗ ∇ . The solution will be:

The question can be formulated in reverse, that is, given a strain field ε (x,t),
is it possible to find a displacement field u (x,t) such that ε (x,t) is its infinites-
C
imal strain tensor? This is not always possible and the answer provides the so-
called compatibility equations.
Expression (3.2) constitutes a system of 6 (due to symmetry) partial differen-
tial equations (PDEs) with 3 unknowns: u1 (x,t), u2 (x,t), u3 (x,t). This system
is overdetermined because there exist more conditions than unknowns, and it
may not have a solution.
Therefore, for a second-order symmetric tensor ε (x,t) to correspond to a
strain tensor (and, thus, be integrable and there exist a displacement field from
which it comes) it is necessary that this tensor verifies certain conditions. These
conditions are denominated compatibility conditions or equations and guarantee

To integrate this field, the same procedure as that seen in Section 3.4.2 can be
used, replacing ε by d, u by v, Ω by w and θ by ω . Certainly, this integration
