Sheet 02

1. The document provides examples of strain calculations for various geometries including rectangular plates, square plates, and parallelepipeds under different loading conditions. Strain components, principal strains, and maximum shear strains are calculated. 2. Constants are determined that satisfy a given state of strain involving variables x, y, and z. 3. Examples include calculating displacements, normal and shear strains, invariants, maximum shear strain, and volume expansion from given strain components.
