General deformations
As a result of applied loads the elastic solid will change shape or deform and these deformations can be quantied by knowing the displacements of the material points of the
body
The body is a continuum solid and this established a displacement eld at all points within
the elastic body

Strain eld
Example
The displacement eld is given by
u = 2xyze1 + 3x2 e2 + y2 e3
Determine the strain and rotation tensors
Verify the obtained results by using the denitions of the strain components
3.16
Rigid-body motion
The deformation behavior of an elastic solid includes rigid-body motion + extensional and
shearing deformations
The rigid-body motion does not contribute to the strain eld
We will focus on the extensional and shearing deformations

Strain transformation
Strain transformation
Tensor transformation
Because the strains are components of the second-order tensor we can apply the same
transformation rules as for the stress tensor
= NNT
where the transformation matrix is
nxx
N = nyx
nzx
nxy
nyy
nzy
nxz
nyz
nzz
and ni j = cos(xi , x j )
The prime coordinates belong to the new coordinate system

Compatibility equations
Strains Displacements
Can we nd the displacements from a given strain eld?
There are 6 independent PDE for only 3 unknown displacements! The solution is overdetermined.
We will nd so called St. Venant compatibility equations that will ensure the computation of an unique displacement eld from a given strain eld
3.27
Compatibility equations
Strains Displacements
Suppose that the body is cut into pieces and then each of the piece is strained
If the strain of each piece is compatible with the strain of the neighboring pieces they can
be tted together (no gaps between them).

Compatibility equations
Strains Displacements
It is mean the 6 equations that connect the strain components with 3 displacements should
be consistent
Consider a 2D-case with 2 displacements u and v and 3 strain-displacement equations

If the given strains are compatible any two of these equations should yield same displacement components
