Plane Stress and Strain Conditions Explained

This document discusses plane stress and plane strain conditions for one-dimensional and two-dimensional problems. It defines plane stress problems as having very small dimensions in one normal direction, with examples being thin plates under tension. Plane strain problems are for bodies that do not vary significantly in the longitudinal direction, with examples like long dams or tunnels. The document also addresses incorporating initial strains due to temperature changes into the stress-strain relationships for both plane stress and plane strain problems.

PLANE STRESS AND

PLANE STRAIN
CONDITIONS

STRESS-STRAIN RELATIONSHIP FOR


ONE-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEMS

In one dimension, the normal


stress in X-direction and
corresponding normal strain
are related by equation.
=E

STRESS-STRAIN RELATIONSHIP FOR


TWO-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEMS
In two dimensions, the problems are
modeled as:
(1)Plane Stress Problem
(2)Plane Strain Problem

PLANE STRESS PROBLEM: The


plane stress condition is
characterized by very small
dimensions in one of the normal
directions. A thin planer body
subjected to in plane loading on its
edge surface is shown in fig. which is
said to be plane stress.

Examples of plane stress


problems: Thin circular disc is
subjected to in-plane loading, thin
plates subjected to tensile loading.
In such cases, the stress components
z, yz, zx are zero.
Hence the equation for stress-strain
relationship can be written as:

PLANE STRAIN PROBLEM:


Problems involving a long body
whose geometry and loading do not
vary significantly in the longitudinal
direction are preferred as plain
strain problems.

Examples of plain strain


problems : Long dam whose height
and width are measurable in meters
whereas length runs into kilometers,
long cylinder like tunnel.

In such cases, the strain components


z, yz, zx are zero. Therefore the
equation can be written as:

TEMPERATURE EFFECTS
The body maybe subjected to initial
strains, which maybe due to change
in temperature.
The initial strains at a point in a body
due to change in temp. are given by,

Figure shows the stress-strain


diagram in the presence of initial
strains. Hence in the presence of
initial strains, the stresses at a point
are given by,
{} = [D] [ {} {0} ].

The equation can be written as:

PLANE STRESS PROBLEM WITH


TEMP. EFFECTS
For plane stress problem z=yz=zx=0
Hence equation can be modified to
incorporate the initial strains due to
change in temperature as,

PLANE STRAIN PROBLEM WITH


TEMP. EFFECTS
For plane strain problem, z=yz=zx=0
Hence equation can be modified to
incorporate the initial strains due to
change in temp. as,
