 REDUCTION OF PLANE STRAIN
EQUATIONS
• The above set of plane strain equations involves a system of partial
• differential equations whose solutions for particular problems are not
easily
• By using the theory of characteristics, these equations may,
• however, be reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations which
are
• generally more manageable.
• To discuss this reduction, we first consider the stress relations given by
• equations From the yield condition of equations
• we have, in particular, that

• so that, on substituting into the stress equilibrium conditions of

equations
TYPES OF STRAIN
DEFORMATION OF AN INFINITESIMAL LINE
ELEMENT
• Consider an infinitesimal line element PQ in the
undeformed geometry of a medium as
• shown in the Figure 3.3. When the body undergoes
deformation, the line element PQ passes
• into the line element P¢Q¢ . In general, both the
length and the direction of PQ are changed.
• Let the co-ordinates of P and Q before deformation
be (x, y,z),(x + Dx, y + Dy,z + Dz)
• respectively and the displacement vector at point P
have components (u, v, w).
• The co-ordinates of P, P¢ and Q are
• P : (x, y,z)
• P¢ : (x + u, y + v,z + w)
EQUATIONS OF COMPATABILITY FOR STRAIN
• The components of strain at a point in a body
are as follows:
• e x = 0.1, e y = -0.05, e z = 0.05, g xy = 0.3, g yz
= 0.1, g xz = -0.08
• Determine the principal strains and the
principal directions.
• Solution: The strain tensor is given by
