v1 Quiz 3 PDF

This document contains a 3 question quiz on deformations and strain. Question 1 asks the student to calculate the strain along a direction P0Q0 using the definition of strain as change in length per unit length. Question 2 asks the student to write the infinitesimal strain tensor ε as a column matrix using the displacement vector u and deformation gradient Dε. Question 3 provides a displacement field and asks the student to identify the condition for it to represent a rigid body rotation and determine the corresponding rotation vector.

ification. (3) Do not write multiple answers.

Figure 1: Total motion of a body

The schematic shown in Fig 1 was discussed in the context of understanding deformations
and strain. To estimate strain along a direction, the definition was “change in length per
unit length along the required direction”. Show that the strain along P0 Q0 is given by
dl − dl0   1 
εn̂0 = = n̂0 · εn̂0 + (∇0 u n̂0 ) · (∇0 u n̂0 ) + · ··

2. The infinitesimal strain tensor ε is symmetric. The unique components of it can be
written as a column matrix [ε] = [Dε ][u], where u is the displacement. Determine Dε . (2
points)

3. The displacement field is given by (x1 − Cx2 + Bx3 )ê1 + (Cx1 + x2 − Ax3 )ê2 + (−Bx1 +
Ax2 + x3 )ê3 . Say, the strain ε = FT F − I, where F is the deformation gradient and I is
the identity tensor. Identify the condition when this displacement field represents a rigid
body rotation. Determine the rotation vector. [3 points]
