Tutorial-2: Analysis of Strain


1. The general displacement field in a body, in Cartesian co-ordinates, is given by u = 0.015x2 y + 0.03, v =
0.005y 2 + 0.03xz, w = 0.003z 2 + 0.001yz + 0.005. Find the strain tensor, ij for point (1,0,2)
2. The displacement field in a body is given by [(x2 + y 2 + 2)i + (3x + 4y 2 )j + (2x3 + 4z)k] × 10−4 . Obtain
the magnitude of principal strains at location (1,2,3)
3. Verify whether the following strain field satisfies equations of compatibility x = P y, y = P x, z =
zP (x + y), xy = P (x + y), yz = 2P z and zx = 2P z. Where P is a constant.
4. If the displacement field is given by ux = Kxy + y, uy = Kxy, uz = 2K(x + y), where K is a constant.

5. The displacement field for a body is given by u = [(x2 + y 2 + 2)i + (3x + 4y 2 )j + (2x3 + 4z)k]What is
the displaced position of a point originally at (1, 2, 3)?
6. The displacement field is given by ux = k(x2 + 2z), uy = k(4x + 2y 2 + z), uz = 4kz 2 k is a very small
constant. What are the strains at (2, 2, 3) in directions

8. For the displacement field given by ux = K(x2 + 2z), uy = K(4x + 2y 2 + z), uz = 4Kz 2 , where K is a
very small constant, verify whether the compatibility conditions are satisfied.
9. State the conditions under which the following is a possible system of strains:

xx = a + b(x2 + y 2 )x4 + y 4 , γyz = 0

yy = α + β(x2 + y 2 ) + x4 + y 4 , γxz = 0
