Strength of Materials Tutorial 5 Guide

1) The displacement vector at the point (1,2) is found and the strain tensor components are calculated. Mohr's circle is used to analyze cases a, b, and c. 2) Displacements are expressed in terms of constants of integration. Given boundary conditions are used to solve for rotation. 3) Principal strains and axes are determined from the given strain tensor, including calculation of normal strain in a specified direction. 4) Conditions on constants a1 to a6 are identified for the components to define a valid strain field.

AM2200: STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

Tutorial 5

1. The displacement field of a body is given by:

µm

µm

µm

What is the displacement vector at a point which was originally at (1, 2) m? What are the components of
strain tensor at the same point? Construct the Mohr’s Circle and comment on cases a, b and c.

2. The strains in a material are given by x  x, y  0, εxy   Evaluate the displacements in terms of
three arbitrary constants of integration.

ux= _____ + A - Cy

uy= _____ + B + Cx

If ux(0,0)=0, uy(0,0)=0 and ux(0,a)=b, what is the rotation?

3. The strain tensor (with the tensorial shearing strains) at a point in a body is given by

a) Determine the normal strain along a direction whose direction cosines with respect to the coordinate
directions are given by l=m=n=1/√3.

b) Determine the principal strains and principal axes.

4. The components of strain tensor at a point in a solid are given by

x  a1(x2+y2), y  a2(y2+z2), z  a3(z2+x2), γxy  a4xy, γyz  a5yz, γzx  a6zx

What conditions need to hold between the constants a1 to a6 so that the above is a possible strain field?
