    This document discusses different types of strain including: 1) Normal strain, which is the change in length of a line per unit length. It is represented by the Greek letter epsilon and has no units. 2) Shear strain, which is the change in angle between two line segments caused by deformations that change the direction of the segments. It is represented by the Greek letter gamma and is measured in radians. 3) Small strain analysis, which approximates engineering problems involving small deformations where the normal strains are much less than 1. This allows simplifying assumptions like treating the sine and tangent of an angle as being equal to the angle when the angle is very small.

    Strain

    Deformation

    • Change in shape and size

    • May be visible or unnoticeable

    • Cause: Force / temperature

    • Not uniform throughout volume


    Normal Strain

    • Change in length of a line per unit length

    Normal Strain

    • Change in length of a line per unit length

    𝜖𝑎𝑣𝑔 = 𝛿/𝐿
    Normal Strain

    • Why need strain? Why not deflection?

    Shear Strain

    • Change in angle between these two line segments


    is referred to as shear strain
    • Deformations causing change in direction
    • This angle is denoted by 𝛾 (gamma) and is always
    measured in radians (rad), which are dimensionless
    • if 𝜃ሖ is smaller than 𝜋Τ2 the shear strain is positive,
    whereas if 𝜃ሖ is larger than the shear strain is
    negative
    State of Strain Component
    Small Strain Analysis

    • Most engineering design involves applications for which only small


    deformations are allowed
    • Thus, the normal strains occurring within the material are very small
    compared to 1, so that 𝜖 ≪ 1
    • Often referred to as a small strain analysis
    • Can be used to approximate
    • sin 𝜃 = 𝜃
    • cos 𝜃 = 1
    • tan 𝜃 = 𝜃
    • Provided 𝜃 is very small
