Module 2 1

The document defines strain and deformation, and describes two types of strain - normal strain and shear strain. Normal strain is a measure of the change in length of a material under load, expressed as a ratio of the deformation to the original length. Shear strain is a measure of the change in angle between two originally perpendicular lines in a material under load, expressed in radians. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating normal and shear strain.

CHAPTER 2: STRAIN

OBJECTIVES:
After discussing this chapter, the student must be able to:
1. Define strain and deformation
2. Show how they can be determined for various
problems

CHAPTER 2: STRAIN
STRAIN
A deformation occurs whenever a FORCE is applied to the body.

❑ The change in shape and size


❑ Maybe too obvious or too small to be unnoticeable
❑ Will not be uniform throughout the body, thus deformation may
vary along the length of a body or material

Nametag of Deformation.
• Normal Strain – describes the intensity of that
deformation by measuring the change in length
(elongates or contracts)
• Shear Strain – describes the intensity of the
deformation by measuring the change in angles or the
shape.

NORMAL STRAIN
• Denoted by small Greek Letter epsilon, Ɛ
• Defined as the deformation of the bar divided by the
original length.

CHAPTER 2: STRAIN
NORMAL STRAIN
• If axial load P is applied, the length of the bar will
change from 𝐿0 (original Length) to L (Final Length).
• Deformation, denoted by small Greek letter delta 𝛿,
is the length of the material. Where,
𝛿 = 𝐿 − 𝐿0
• Thus, normal strain can be expressed as:
𝐷𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝛿 𝐿−𝐿0
• 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛, 𝜀 = = =
𝑂𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 𝐿0 𝐿0

• 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛, 𝜀 = = =
𝑂𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 𝐿0 𝐿0

Because the deformation is a unit of length and the


original length is also a unit of length, therefore normal
strain is dimensionless quantity.
However, it is sometimes stated in terms of a ratio of
length units.
Say, 480𝜇𝑚/𝑚 (micrometer per meter)

𝑂𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 𝐿0 𝐿0

Since strain is a very small quantity it is usually


expressed as 𝝁𝒎/𝑚 (micrometer per meter)
−6
Where 1 𝜇𝑚 = 10 , smaller than a millimeter.
Example: 𝛿 = 6.5𝑚𝑚, 𝐿𝑜 = 1.5𝑚
𝜀 = 0.00433𝑚/𝑚
𝜀 = 0.433% elongation

Elongation is a positive normal strain.


Contraction is a negative normal strain.

• Defined as the change in angle that occurs between
two line segments that are originally perpendicular to
one another.
