Topic: 2 Introduction to strain Notebook

This course is focused on deformable bodies

Therefore we should discuss defamation
Recallthat stress is a normalized measure of force
We will now introduce a normalized measure ofdefamation
This normalized defamation is termed strain

Let's consider a member before and after hemotion

Fa now we'll consider only axial defamation
Same concept applies to all deformations

strain Change in Length

Therefore and average expression ofstrain wouldbe

Note that Hms definition is ten normal strain
What about shearing strain
When considering shearstain
instead of a change in length we
are investing a change in angle
