Roark's Formula 0 23

This document discusses different types of stress and strain. It defines shear strain as a measure of distortion that has two definitions, with the engineering shear strain being used. This is defined as the change in corner angle of the stressed cube in radians. It also defines normal strain as the dimensionless rate of increase in length in a given direction due to a normal stress applied in that direction.

14 Formulas for Stress and Strain [CHAP.

Figure 2.5 Plane stress.

Shear strain is a measure of the distortion of the stressed element, and


has two definitions: the engineering shear strain and the elasticity
shear strain. Here, we will use the former, more popular, definition.
However, a discussion of the relation of the two definitions will be
provided in Sec. 2.4. The engineering shear strain is defined as the
change in the corner angle of the stress cube, in radians.

Normal Strain. Initially, consider only one normal stress sx applied to


the element as shown in Fig. 2.6. We see that the element increases in
length in the x direction and decreases in length in the y and z
directions. The dimensionless rate of increase in length is defined as
the normal strain, where ex , ey , and ez represent the normal strains in
