STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION

1.1 Three-Dimensional Stress Analysis

In dealing with the state of stress at a point we consider the element in Fig. 1.1a, set in aCartesian co-ordinate frame x, y and z. Nine stress components ax , ay, aZ , rte, , ryZ , rR, r , ry:and ry act on the six rectangular faces, as shown. The three stress components existing on anyone face might arise as the components of an oblique force applied to that face. In general,these component stresses are a consequence of any manner of combined loading, consistingof moments, torques and forces. In the double subscript engineering notation used to identifyshear stress, the first subscript denotes the direction of the normal to the plane on which thatstress acts. The second subscript denotes the direction of the shear stress. Some authorsreverse the order of these subscripts but this does not alter the analysis because of thecomplementary nature of the shear stress. This means that rte, = ryx , rxz = r,, and ryZ = rry,which is a moment equilibrium requirement. As a consequence there are six independentstress components: three normal or, ay and aL and three independent shear components.

A stress tensor contains the nine Cartesian stress components shown in Fig. 1.1 a and isconveniently represented within a 3 x 3 matrix. We shall also represent these componentslater with a single mathematical symbol v3 where i and j = 1, 2 and 3, so that:

In Fig. 1.1b ABC is an oblique plane cutting the volume element to produce the tetrahedronOABC. On the front three faces of the element in Fig. 1.1 a the stress components act in thepositive co-ordinate directions. Negative directions apply to the back three orthogonal facesin Fig. 1.1b. It is required to find, for Fig. 1.1 b, the stress state (a, r) on the front triangularface ABC in both magnitude and direction. To do this it becomes necessary to find the areasof each back face. In Fig. 1.2a, we let the area ABC be unity and construct CD perpendicularto AB and join OD. The normal vector N to plane ABC is defined by the direction cosines1, m and n with respect to x, y and z,

l = cosa, m = cos,6 and n = cos y

Then, as area ABC =1/2AB x CD and area OAB =1/2AB x OD, it follows that

Area OAB/Area ABC = OD/CD = cos y= n

Figure 1.1 3-D stress state for an oblique plane ABC

Hence area OAB = n and, similarly, area OBC = l and area OAC = m. The direction cosines1, m and n are not independent. The relationship between them is found from the vectorequation for N:

N=Nu,+Nyu,+Nu, (1.2a)

where us , uy and uZ are unit vectors and N., NY and NZ are scalar intercepts with the co-ordinates x, y and z respectively, as seen in Fig. 1.2b.

The unit vector uN for the normal direction is found by dividing eq(1.2a) by the magnitudeINI of N:

UN = (N)INI) ux + (N)INI) uy + (N/INI) uZ (1.2b)

but from egs(1.la-c) I= cosa= Nx/INI, m = cost= NJINI, n = cos y= NJINI. Hence eq(1.2b)becomes

UN= Iu,+muy +nu, (1.2c)

Figure 1.2 Normal to an oblique plane

Page 3: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 3

Clearly 1, m and n are the intercepts that the unit normal vector uN, makes with x, y and zrespectively. Furthermore, the magnitude INI reveals the relationship between 1, m and n:

(NF)2 + (NN)2 + (NZ)2 = INI2

[NN/ INI ]2 + [NY/ INI ]2 + [N/ INI ]2 = 1

12+m2+ n2= 1

1.1.2 Normal and Shear Stress on Plane ABC

(1.3)

(a) MagnitudesThe normal and shear force (stress) components a and r respectively act upon plane ABC.Their resultant is S, with the co-ordinate components S, Sy and S, as shown in Fig. 1.3a.

Now S is also the equilibrant of the forces produced by the stress components acting onthe back faces. Hence the following three equilibrium equations apply to its components:

Sx=lox+mryz+nru (1.4a)Sy=moy+n-ry+lrY (1.4b)SZ=no,+lrxZ+mry, (1.4c)

(a)

Figure 1.3 Stress state for the oblique plane ABC

(b)

As the area of ABC is unity, then cis the sum of the S., Sy and SZ force components resolvedinto the normal direction. This gives

o=Sxcos a+ Sycosl+Scosy=Sxl+Sym+Sn

where, from egs(1.4a,b,c), this becomes

o= O l2+ oym2+ oon2+2 (lmry+mnry7+lnr, )

The resultant force on plane ABC is expressed in two ways:

(1.5a)

S2= Ss2 +Sy2+S'2= cl + r2

Page 4: 3D Stress

4 MECHANICS OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES

r2=S2 - a2=Sx2+Sl+SZ2 - a2

Substituting egs(1.4a,b,c) and (1.5a) into (1.5b) enables r to be found.

1.1.2 Directions of Shear Stress

(1.5b)

The direction of ais defined by 1, m and n since ais aligned with the normal vector N. Thedirection of r, lying tangential to plane ABC, is defined by is = cos a, , m, = cos 6., and n, =cos y, (see Fig. 1.3b). Because Sx Sy and S, are the x, y and z components of or and r, itfollows that

Sx = acosa+ rcosa, = lo+ l,rS,, = acos/3+ rcos/3, = ma+ m,rS, = acos y+ rcos y, = no+ n,r

from which the direction cosines of rare

(Sx - la)/r (1.6a)m. _ (Sy - ma )/r (1.6b)n, _ (SZ - na )lr (1.6c)

Example 1.1 The state of stress (in MPa) at a point is given by ox = 14, oy = 10, or, = 35, rxy= ryx = 7, rxt = Trx = - 7 and r,z = rr, = 0. Determine the normal and shear stresses for a planewhose normal is defined by l = 21314, m = - 113 14 and n = 31314. What is the direction ofthe shear stress acting in this plane?

Substituting the stress components into eq (1.5a),

r= ax l2 + aym2 + qn2+2 (lmrxy + mnry,+In r,,)= (14 x 4/14) + (10 x 1/14) + (35 x 9/14) + 2[(- 2/14)7 + (-3/14)0 + (6/14)(- 7)]=4+5/7+45/2+2(- 1 - 0 - 3) = 19.21 MPa

Now, from egs(1.4a,b,c), the x, y and z component forces are

Sx=lax + mrxy+nTxL

_ (21V14)14 - (1/314)7 - (3/3 14)7 = 0

Sy=may + nr, +lryx

_ - (1/314)10 + (313 14)0 + (2/314)7 = 4/3 14SZ=nor, +lr,, + mr,

_ (3/314)35 - (21V14)7 - (1/314)0 = 91/314

Then , from eq ( 1.5b), the shear stress acting along the plane is

r2=Sx2+Sy2+SZZ - a2=0+ 16/14+912/14 - 19.212=223.62

from which r= 14.95 MPa. The direction cosines for this shear stress are , from egs( 1.6a,b,c),

l., = (Sx - la)/r= [0 - (213 14) x 19.211/14.95 = - 0.678m, = (S,. - mo )lr= [4/314 - (- 1/314) x 19.21]/14.95 = 0.415

Page 5: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 5

n, = (SZ - na )/r= [91/314 - (3/J14) x 19.21]/14.95 = 0.597

The corresponding inclinations of r to x, y and z are

a, = cos -' (- 0.687) = 133.4°=cos-'(0.415)=65.5°= cos '(0.597) = 53.37°

1.2 Principal Stresses and Invariants

1.2.1 Magnitudes of the Principal Stresses

When, for the plane ABC in Fig. 1.1 a, the shear stress r is absent, then by definition, abecomes a principal stress. Resolving forces in the x, y and z directions allows egs(I.4a,b,c)

to be written as

Sx=la=lax+mryx+nru

Sy=ma=may+n; +lrsy

SZ=nor= nor, +lrx,+mryZ

Rearranging,

l(ax- a)+mT.+nr,,=0

lryx+m(ay - a)+nryZ=0

lr +mrZy+n(ao- a)=0

(1.7a)

By Cramar's rule, the solution to a from eq(1.7a) can be found from the determinant:

(ax-a) TaY

Tyr (ay,-a) t,

r. om, (ax- o )

0 (1.7b)

Expanding eq(1.7b) leads to the principal stress cubic equation:

(aa- a)[(a..- a)(aj- a)- ryzrZy]- rx,,[r (oo - a)- rzru]+ rxZ [ r,.x TZ,, - TZx (ay - a )] = 0

a3-(ax+a,.+Z)a2+(axOj,+ayaZ+aZax- Txy2- ryZ2- 1._'2)or

- (ax o;.ar+21xyTyZTZZ- axr,,Z2- yTZS2- aorxy2)=0 (1.8a)

The three roots (the eigen values) a,, a2 and a3 to this cubic equation give the principal stressmagnitudes. Equation (1.8a) is simplified to

a3 - J, a2 + J2 a - J3 = 0 (1.8b)

There is a unique set of principal stresses for any given applied stress system . It follows thatthe coefficients J, , J2 and J3 will be independent of the co-ordinate frame (x, y, z) chosen to

Page 6: 3D Stress

6 MECHANICS OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES

define the applied stress components. Thus J, , J2 and J3 are called the invariants of the stresstensor. Equation (1.8a) must include the case where the x, y, z frame coincides with theprincipal stress directions 1, 2 and 3. Hence the invariants may be written in both general(subscripts x, y, z) or principal (subscripts 1, 2, 3) forms:

3,= a,+ U2 + U3 = ax + 0, + o o= a i

J2=o,02+0203+o,03=ax 0,+oyoZ+oxoZ- r 2- rZ2- rZX2=1/z(D;;oU- aoff;)

33=a1 o2 a3= ox O, oZ +2rx, r, rc- ox ryZ2- rzX2- oZ rxy2=det(0;)

(1.9a)

(1.9b)

(1.9c)

For the shorthand tensor notation used in egs(1.9a-c), repeated subscripts on a single symbol,or within a term, denote summation for i and j = 1, 2 and 3. Where there are exact roots, theprincipal stresses are more conveniently found by expanding the determinant in eq(1.7b), withnumerical values having been substituted. Otherwise, the major (o, ), intermediate (o2) andminor (o3 ) principal stresses (o, > 02 > 03 ) must be found from the solution to thecharacteristic cubic equation(1.8b).

Example 1 .2 At a point in a loaded material, a resultant stress of magnitude 216 MPa makesangles of a, = 43°, A = 75° and y, = 50.88° with the co-ordinates x, y and z respectively. Findthe normal and shear stress on a plane whose direction cosines are l = 0.387, m = 0.866 andn = 0.3167. Given that the applied shear stresses are rte, = 23, ry, = - 3.1 and r., = 57 (MPa),determine ox, oy., oZ, the invariants and the principal stresses.

Resolve the resultant force S (stress S acting on unit area ABC) in the x, y and z directions(Fig. 1.3a) to give

Sx=SI,=Scosa„Sy=Sm,=Scos4,and SZ=Sn,=Scos y,

The normal stress in eq(1.5a) is then

o=Sx1+Sym+Sn=S( lcosa,+mcos4,+ncos y,)= 216 (0.387 cos 43° + 0.866 cos 75° + 0.3167 cos 50.88°) = 152.71 MPa

Now, from eq ( 1.5b), the shear stress is

r2 = S2 - 02 r= 3(2162- 152.712) = 152.76 MPa

Substituting into egs(1.4a,b,c),

Sx=lox+in rx+ni,216 cos 43° = 0.387ox + (0.866 x 23) + (0.3167 x 57)ox=310.1 MPa

Sy=moy+nrZy+lry.216 cos 75° = 0.866oy - (0.3167 x 3.1) + (0.387 x 23)o,. = 55.41 MPa

SZ=noz+lrx,+mr,Z216 cos 50.88° = 0.3167or + (0.387 x 57) - (0.866 x 3.1)oZ = 369.15 MPa

The principal stress cubic (eq 1.8b ) becomes

a3 - 734.66a2 + 148323.05 a - 5956556.22 = 0 (i)

Using Newton 's approximation to find the roots of eq(i),

f (u) = a3 - 734.66a2 + 148323.05u- 5956556.22 (ii)f(a) = 3a2 - 1469.32a+ 148323.05 (iii)

One root lies between 50 and 60 . Take an approximation a= 55 MPa so that the numerical

values of eqs (ii) and (iii) are f (a = 145240.03 and f '(a) = 76585.45. A closer

approximation is then given by

a- f(a)lf'(a)=55 - (145240 .03/76585 .45)=53.1

Again , from eqs (ii) and (iii), f (a) 2335.66, f ' (a) = 78761, giving an even closer

approximation to the root:

o= 53.1 - (- 2335.66 / 78761) = 53.13 MPa

The remaining roots are found from the quadratic aa2 + ba+ c = 0 where

(o- 53.13)(aa2 + ba+ c) = a3 - 734.66a2 + 148323.05a- 5956556.22aa3-(53.13a-b)a2+(c-53.13b)a-53.13c= a3 - 734.66a2 + 148323.05a- 5956556.22

Page 8: 3D Stress

for which the roots are 404.07 or 277.46. Hence, the principal stresses are o, = 404.07, a,= 277.46 and o3 = 53.13 MPa.

1.2.2 Directions of Principal Stresses

Substituting for the applied stresses into eq(1.7a) with o= or, (l, , m, , n,) leads to threesimultaneous equations in 1, m, and n,, of which only two equations are independent, togetherwith the relationship l,2 + m,2 + n,2 = 1 from eq(1.3). A similar deduction is made for theseparate substitutions of oa (12 , m2 , n2) and o3 (13 , m3 , n3 ). Now from eq(1.2c) the principalsets of direction cosines (l, , in, , n, ), (12, m2 , n2) and (13 , m3 , n3) will define unit vectorsaligned with the principal directions. They are

u, =1,ux+m , uY+n,u, (1.10a)u2 = l 2 ux + m 2 uY +n2uZ (1. I Ob)

u3=13uX + m3uY+n3uz (1.lOc)

Since these are orthogonal, the dot product of any two is zero. For the 1 and 2 directions

ui•u2=(l, ux +m,uy+n,uZ)•(l2ux +m2uY+n2uZ)=0

Now ux • ux = uY • uY = uz • uz = l and ux • uY ux • uz = uY • uz = 0. Similar dot productsbetween the 1, 3 and 2, 3 directions leads to three orthogonality conditions:

1,12+In ,m2+n,n2=0

1213+m2m3+n2n3=0

1113+m,m3 +n,n3=0

The following example will show that egs(1.11a,b,c) are the only conditions that satisfyeq(1.7a). This confirms that the principal stress directions and their planes are orthogonal.

Example 1.3 Find the principal stresses and their directions, given the following stresscomponents: ox = 3, oy = 0, oZ = 0, rxy = ryx = 1, r = r = 1 and rrZ = rZy = 2 (kN/m2 ). Showthat the principal directions are orthogonal.

The determinant in eq(1.7b) becomes

3-a 1 1

det 1 0-a 2 = 0

1 2 0-(i)

Principal stresses are found from the expansion of eq(i),

(1 - o)(a- 4)(0+2)=0

The roots are principal stresses or, = 4, ore = 1 and o3 = - 2 kN/m2. Equation (1.7a) becomes

(3- o)l+m+n=0 (i)l-mo+2n=0 (ii)1+ 2m - no= 0 (iii)

Page 9: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 9

Equations ( i)-(iii) supply direction cosines for each principal stress. Substituting a= at = 4

- 1, + m, + n, = 0 (iv)1, - 4m, + 2n, = 0 (v)1, + 2m, - 4n, = 0 (vi)

Because only two of eqs(iv)-(vi) are independent, we can let any vector A = Axu" + Ayuy +AZuZ, lie in the 1 - direction. Thus the unit vector for the 1 - direction becomes

u, =1, uz + m,uy + n,uZ = (A1/IA I)ut + (A3/IA I)uy + (AAA I)uZ

Hence 1, = (Ax/IA I), m, = (Ay/IA I), n, = (AZ/IA I) and eqs(iv)-(vi) become

- Ax+Ay+AZ=0Ax-4Ay+2AZ=0Ax+2Ay-4AZ=0

We may solve these by setting Ax = 1 (say) to give Ay = AZ = V2. Then IAI = 3(3/2) thus giving1, = 3213 and m, = n, = 1/36. The unit vector aligned with the 1 - direction becomes

u, = 3(2/3)ux + (1/36)uy + (1/36)uZ

The direction cosines for the 2 and 3 - directions are similarly found by substituting, stressesin turn, a= a2 = 1 and a= a3 = - 2 in eqs( i) - (iii). The unit vectors for these directions are

u2 = (1/33)u, - (1/33)uy - (1/33)uZu3 = (1/32)uy - (1/32)uZ

The directions are orthogonal as u, • u2 = u, • u3 = u2 • u3 = 0.

1.3 Principal Directions as Co-ordinates

When the applied stresses are the principal stresses or, > a2 > a3 , the co-ordinate axes becomealigned with the orthogonal principal directions 1, 2 and 3 as shown in Fig. 1.4. Becauseshear stress is then absent on faces ACO, ABO and BCO, the expressions for the normal andshear stress acting on the oblique plane ABC are simplified.

Replacing x, y and z in egs(1.4a,b,c) and (1.5a,b) by 1, 2 and 3 respectively and setting rte, _r.z = r, = 0 gives the reduced forms to the co-ordinate forces and oblique plane stresses,

1.3.1 Maximum Shear Stress

It can be shown that the maximum shear stresses act on planes inclined at 45° to two principalplanes and perpendicular to the remaining plane. For the 1 - 2 plane in Fig. 1.5, for example,normal N to the 45° plane shown has directions l = m = cos 45° = l/32 and n = cos 90° = 0.

Figure 1.5 Maximum 45° shear plane

Substituting 1, m and n into eq(1.13b), the magnitude is

r122 = a12 /2 + a22 /2 - (a1/2 + a2 /2) 2

=1/4(x12+x22 -.201 x2)=1/4 (al - x2)2

r12=±1/z(a, - a2) (1.15a)

Similarly, for the plane inclined at 45° to the 1 and 3 directions (1= n = I/32 and m = 0), theshear stress is

Page 11: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 11

r13 = ± 1/2 (o, - 05 ) (1.15b)

and, for the plane inclined at 45 ° to the 2 and 3 directions , where n = m = 1/12 and l = 0,

r23=±1/2 ( o2- 03) (1.15c)

The greatest shear stress for the system o, > 02 > 03 is rmax= r13. When the 45 ° shear planesare joined from all four quadrants they form a rhombic dodecahedron . The normal stressacting on the planes of maximum shear stress is found from eq(1.13a ). For example, with l= m = 1/32 and n = 0 for the 45 ° plane in Fig. 1.5, 0= 1/2 ( o, + a2).

1.3.2 Octahedral Planes

It follows from eq ( 1.3) that the direction cosines for the normal to the plane equally inclinedto the principal directions are l = m = n = 1 /13 (a=,13= y= 54. 8°). Substituting these intoeq(l.Ia) gives the octahedral normal stress (a,)

a=0,12+x2m2+03n2 = 0,(1/13)2+02 ( 1/13)2+03 ( 1/13)2o°_(0,+02 +03)/3 ( 1.16a)

Since a, is the average of the principal stresses it is also called the mean or hydrostatic stressom (see Section 1.4.3). The octahedral shear stress r is found by substituting l = m = n = 1/33

When the eight octahedral planes are joined they form the faces of the regular octahedron asshown in Fig . 1.6. Here a, and r act on each plane while T12, r23 and r13 act along the edges.The deformation occurring under any stress state may be examined from its octahedral plane.Since or,, acts with equal inclination and intensity it causes an elastic volume change which isrecoverable irrespective of the principal stress magnitudes . Superimposed on this is thedistortion produced by r°. As the magnitude of r°, given in eq ( 1.16b), depends upondifferences between the principal stresses , a critical value of r, will determine whether thedeformation will be elastic or elastic -plastic . In Chapter 11 it is shown that d yield criterionmay be formulated on this basis.

Assuming a, > o2 > a3 areall tensile , eqs(l.3 and 1.5a,b) combine graphically , as shown in Fig. 1.8 . The Mohr 's circleis constructed as follows:(i) Erect perpendicular nand r axes(ii) Fix points o,, 02 and o3 to scale from the origin along the a axis(iii) With centres C12, C23 and C13 draw circles of radii r12, r23 and r13 respectively(iv) Draw the line oAB inclined at afrom the vertical through o,(v) Draw lines a2 D and o2 C with inclinations of ^Q on each side of the vertical through a2(vi) With centres C13 and C23 draw the arcs DC and AB(vii) The intersection point P has co-ordinates nand r as shown

The Mohr's circle construction Fig. 1.9 gives a= 12.65, r= 3.38 MPa. The resultant stressS = 3(a2 + r2 ) = 13.15 MPa becomes the length of OP1. The octahedral plane is defined by&=,6= 54.73° which, when applied to Fig . 1.9, gives another intersection point P2 with co-ordinates o, = 11.17, r, = 3.51 MPa . The greatest shear stress r13 = 4.3 MPa is the radius ofthe largest circle.

1.4 Matrix and Tensor Transformations of Stress

1.4.1 Tensor Subscript Notation

Equations (1.5a,b) and (1.13a,b) obey a more general transformation law defining anysymmetrical tensor of second rank, of which stress is a member. In double subscript tensornotation, this law appears as

al'i'= lip liq anq ( 1.18a)

where 0, q are the six independent components of stress lying in co-ordinate axes x„ x2 andx3 (see Fig. 1.1 Oa). We now abandon x, y and z in favour of these equivalent mathematical co-ordinates. The shear and normal stress components are each identified with two subscripts.The first subscript denotes the normal direction and the second the stress direction. Hence thenormal stress components are o„ , 022 and o33 and the shear stress components are or, 2, Q13 ,023 etc. Equation(1.18a) will transform these components of stress to those lying in axes x,,, x2. and x3. following the co-ordinate rotation shown in Fig. 1.1 Ob. Note that here x,, x2 andx3 can be either the generalised co-ordinates x, y and z or the principal stress co-ordinates 1,2 and 3 used previously. The components l,,, and liq (i, p = 1, 2, 3) in eq(1.8a) are the directioncosines defining each primed direction with respect to each unprimed direction. That is

lip=cos(x,,xx) (1.18b)

Equation ( 1.18a) defines the rotation completely within 9 direction cosines . For example, l„= cos (x1 . x1), 112 = cos (x1, x2 ), 113 = cos(x1. x3) are the direction cosines of the rotated axis 1'relative to directions 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Equations (1.2b,c) show how the nine direction cosines appear within the unit vectors'expressions for the 1', 2' and 3' directions. They are

1.4.2 Matrix Notation

Equation ( 1.18a) may be converted to an equivalent matrix equation . Let the 3 x 3 matricesS, S 'and L represent the nine components o,,q, o... and li p (and ljq) respectively . Before theconversion of eq ( 1.18a) to matrix form can be made, similar subscripts must appear adjacentwithin each term . This leads to the correct order of matrix multiplication as follows:

(1.20b)

Equations (1.20a,b ) provide the normal and shear stresses for three orthogonal planes withinthe x;. (i = 1, 2, 3) frame . In the analytical method the stress state for a single oblique planeABC (Fig. 1.2a) was found . We can identify ABC with a plane lying normal to x,. (say) withdirections 1,,, 112 and 113 (previously 1, in and n in the engineering notation). The stresscomponents associated with this plane are a ,.,. , 01.2. and o,. 3.. In the analytical solution, thenormal and shear stress referred to in eq ( 1.5a,b) becomes o= o,.,, and r= J[(o,.2,)2 + ( 0,'3.)2 ]. Clearly r is the resultant shear stress acting on plane ABC and o,. 2' , o,. 3, are itscomponents in the 2 ' and 3 ' directions. It follows from egs(1.19a-c) and ( 1.20b) that theindividual components are given as the dot products

01',.=U,•S•u,

vr2'=u,•S•U2

or3'=U,•S•u3

When the co-ordinates x; become aligned with the principal directions , eq(1.20b) reduces to

01.1. 01.2, 01.3. 111 112 113 a1 0 0 111 121 131 (1.20c)02.1. 02.2. 02.3. 121 122 123 0 a2 0 112 122 132

The elements of eq ( 1.20c) will contain egs ( 1.13a,b). For example, to confirm eq(1.13a) wemultiply rows into columns to yield o1 . ,. = 011„2 + 021122 + 03 1132, which is equivalent toeq(l.13a). Similarly , the shear stress expression( 1.13b) may be identified with the result ofmatrix multiplication for the o,.2, component.

Example 1 .6 Given the following matrix S of stresscomponents, determine S' when the coordinates x1. andx2. are aligned with the vectors A = u, + 2u2 + 3u3 andB=u,+u2- u3.

Firstly, divide the vector equations by their respective magnitudes IAI =114, IBI = 33, to givethe unit vectors:

U1, = (1/314)u 1 + (2/114)112 + (3/ 3 14)u3u2. = (1/33)u, + (1/33)u2 - (1/33)u3

The coefficients are the direction cosines in egs(1.19a,b),

1„ = 1 /114, 112 = 21V14, 113 = 3/114121 = 1 /33, 122 = 1/13, 123 = - 1/33

The cosines for the third orthogonal direction x3. are found from the cross product. Thus, ifa vector C lies in x3 'then, by definition

C = A x B =

C = ( -2 - 3)u, - (- 1- 3)u2 + (1 - 2)u3 = - 5u, + 4112 - 113

U3 = C/ ICI = (-5/342)u, + (4/342)u2 - (1/342)u3

and from eq(1.19c): l31 = - 5/142, 132 = 4/142, l33 = - 1/142. Substituting into eq(1.20b),

A deviatoric stress tensor o; is what remains of the absolute stress tensor of after the mean

(hydrostatic ) stress om has been subtracted. Figures 1.11 a-c show how the principal triaxial

stress system in (a) is decomposed into (b) its mean and (c ) its deviatoric stress components.

The mean stress (Fig. 1 . 11b) is om = ( o, + 02 + 03 )/3 and the deviatoric stresses (Fig. 1.11c)

are o,' = o, - am, a2' = o2 - om and o3' = o3 - om. The subtraction of om will apply only to the

normal stress components a,,, 022 and 033 and does not alter the shear stresses when they are

present . To ensure this, the deviatoric stress tensor is written as

oj'=of - Uij om= oij-'/3 Sij Qkk (1.21a)

Similar subscripts together (kk) denote summation over 1, 2 and 3, i.e. o' = (o„ + 022 + 033).

Page 19: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 19

(a)

Figure 1 .11 Hydrostatic and deviatoric components of principal stress

Thus, in eq(1.21a) the shear stress components remain unaffected since the Kronecker delta6ij is unity for i =j and zero for i s j. For example, eq(1.21a) gives, with i = 1 and j = 1, 2 and3, a normal stress deviator

all'=UII - (1) °m- 0`11 - (QII + Q22+ 0'33)/3

but the shear stresses from eq(1.21a) are unaltered

02 = QI2 - (0) Qm= U12

6'13'-0`I3- (0) C. = at 3

It follows that the deviatoric stress tensor o in eq(1.21a) is composed of ol,', 022 and o33 andthe original shear stresses o12, 013 and o23. When the invariants of oij'are expressed in a scalarfunctional form f (0;) = constant, this is known as a yield criterion. We shall show in Chapter11 how the yield criterion governs the inception of plasticity under any multiaxial stress state.This reveals that the one important deviatoric invariant, identified with the von Mises yieldcriterion, is proportional to the expression (1.16b or c) for r.. The matrix equivalent ofeq(1.21a) is written as

S°=S-1/3(trS)I (1.21b)

where S ° is a 3 x 3 matrix of the deviatoric stress components, I is the unit matrix and tr Sis the trace of S (the sum of its diagonal components). In full, eq(1.21b) appears as

ail alt 0 13 all a12 013 1 0 0

1.5 Three-Dimensional Strain Transformation

1.5.1 The Strain and Rotation Matrices

The analysis of the distortion produced by the stress components ox , oy , o,,, rxy , rxZ and ryZ inFig. 1.1a reveals two types of strain:(i) direct strain ex, ey and eZ arising from direct stress ox, oy and or,(ii) angular distortions exy, exz and eyZ arising from shear stress 5,,y and ryZ

The distortions in (ii) are composed of shear strain due to rxy, ;z and ryZ and rigid bodyrotations due to the differences in direct strains . It is necessary to subtract rotations from theangular distortions to establish a shear strain component responsible for shape change, i.e.the angular change in the right angle. In Fig. 1.12a, for example, the angular distortions exyand eyx for one corner of an element 6x x 6y x az in the x, y plane are shown. .

These are given as

exy = aulay and eyx = avlax (1.22a,b)

Because 8x # ay and o ey, then e, - eyx. The direct strains a and ey are associated with thedisplacement of the corner point from 0 to 0'. Let the respective components of thisdisplacement in the x and y directions be u and v, which are each functions of the co-ordinatesu = u (x, y, z) and v = v (x, y, z). Now 6x and 6y change their lengths in proportion to thedisplacement gradients , i.e. the direct strains

ex = aulax and er = av lay (1.23a,b)

The engineering shear strain is defined as the total change in the right angle

Yx,. = aulay + avlax (1.24a)

Rotating the distorted corner so that it becomes equally inclined to the x and y directions (seeFig. 1.12b) reveals two, complementary tensor shear strains:

exy =eyx = V2 Y ,,y = 2( aulay + avlax) (1.24b)

Page 21: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 21

The corresponding rotations are

wx,, = e,,, - e,, = aulay - 1/2(aulay + Max) ='/z( aulc)y - Max)wy, = ey, - e,, = avlax - 1/2(aulay + avlax) = - 1/2(aulay - avlax)

With an additional displacement function w = w(x, y, z), for the z - direction and furtherdisplacement - gradient relationships , similar decompositions apply to normal and sheardistortion in the x, z and y, z planes . Consequently , the complete distortion of an element 6x x 6y x dz may be expressed as the sum of the corresponding strain and rotation matrices

e,, = e ;; + c);, (1.25)

Equations (1.21)-(1.23) then appear as particular components within each expanded matrixin eq(1.25) as follows

This shows that the strain matrix is symmetric ej = e, and that the rotation matrix is skewsymmetric t = - w;; . Recall that the 3 x 3 stress matrix is also symmetric (o = a;) and itmay therefore be deduced that the transformation properties of strain ej will be identical tothose of stress. Referring again to Fig. 1.1 b, let us assume that the strain states for the co-ordinate planes OAC, OAB and OBC are known and that we wish to find the normal strainfor the oblique plane ABC. Given the direction cosines for plane ABC, the expression for thenormal strain is identical in form to the corresponding stress expression (1.5a). However, theconversion requires r to be associated with the tensor component of shear strain, which isdefined as 1/2y. The normal strain on plane ABC will then appear in terms of co-ordinatestrains e;; as

e3 + (4 x 10 -4 )e2 - (5049.3 x 10-')e + (20069.2 x 10-12) = 0 (i)

For the plane strain condition, the absence of shear strains eXZ and e) is a consequence of theabsence of associated shear stresses z and z,Z. Thus, the normal strain eZ = 4 x 10-4 is aprincipal strain and a root of eq(i). It follows from eq(i) that

[e - (4 x 10-4)](ae2 + be+ c) = e3 + (4 x 10-4 )e2 - (5049.3 x 10-')e+ (20069.2 x 10-12)

[e3 ]: a = 1[e2]: b-(4x10-4)=4x10-4, = b=8x10-4[e]: c-(4x10-4b)=-5049.3x10-8, = c=-5017.3x10-$.

The remaining two principal strains become the roots to the quadratic:

e2 + (8 x 10-4)e_ (5017.3 x 10 -i1) = 0

giving e= - 75 x 10-4 and 67 x 10-4. The principal strains e, > e2 >e3 are then

e,=67x 10-4,e2=4x 10-4ande3=-75x 10-4

As the direction of e2 (= eZ) is parallel to the z - direction, it follows that the cosines are 12 =0, m2 = 0 and n2 = 1. The strain equivalent to eq(1.7a), together with eq(1.3), enables a

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 23

calculation of the cosines for the remaining two directions. That is,

21(ex- e)+me,,,+neXZ=0 (ii)

le,,. + 2m(e,, - e) + ne,,Z = 0 (iii)

le"+meZ,,+2n(e,- e)=0 (iv)

Only two of equations (ii) - (iv) are independent. Substituting e= 67 x 10 - ° and the givenstrain components leads to the three simultaneous equations:

- 41, +33 m,=O, 3311-280m1= 0 and - 126n1=0

Thus n, = 0 and 1 , = 8.25m,. As 1,2 + m, 2 + n,2 = 1, this gives the direction cosines for themajor principal strain as

1, = 0.993, m, = 0.120 and n, = 0 (iii)

For e3 = - 75 x 10-4 , eqs(ii) - (iv) give

28013+33m3=0, 3313+4m3=0 and 158n3=0

Thus n3 = 0 and m3 = - (8.2513) 13. Substituting into 132 + m32 + n32 = I gives cosines for the

minor principal strain as

13 = 0.120, m3 = - 0.993 and n3 = 0 (iv)

Substituting eqs(iii) and (iv) into egs(1.IOa,b,c) provides the unit vectors aligned with theprincipal directions:

u, = 0.993u% + 0.120u,, , u2 = u,, and u3 = 0.120ux - 0.993u,,

These are orthogonal when the dot product of any two unit vectors in the 1, 2 and 3 directionsare zero. Clearly u, • u2 = u , • u3 = u2 • u3 = 0

1.5.2 Strain Tensor Transformation

The strain tensor transformations, equivalent to egs(1.20a) are

e;'i' = lip lia env = E' = LELT (1.29a,b)

Equations (1.29a,b) provide the nine components of strain following a rotation in the co-ordinate axes (see Fig. 1.1Ob). Upon the plane lying perpendicular to a rotated axis there isone normal strain and two shear strains. Equation (1.29a) provides the strain state for thisplane and two further orthogonal planes. Of the three such transformed normal straincomponents, one is the normal strain given in eq(1.26b). To show this we must refereq(1.29a) to the mathematical notation and set i = j = 1. This gives

e,. ,. =1,^ 1,a e^ y = l p €pq (l,4) T (1.30a)

The second expression in eq(1.30a) is equivalent to a shortened matrix multiplication

Clearly, egs(1.26b) and (1.30b) are equivalent between the two notations. The sixcomponents of tensor shear strain appear in eq(1.29a) with different valued subscripts i andj. For example, setting i = I and j = 2 in eq(1.29a) will yield the expression for a transformedshear strain component

er2-=u1,•E•u2, (1.32b)

where E is the strain matrix in eq(1.30b) and u, and u2, are the unit vectors for the pair ofperpendicular directions x,. and x2,. These vectors are expressed from egs(1.19a,b). We seethat the direction cosines of x, , and x2 . relative to x„ x2 and x3 appear as the coefficients(scalar intercepts) for each unit vector. Equations (1.32a,b) also provide a generalised shearstrain expression for when the angular change in a right angle, whose initial perpendiculardirections are specified, is required. This shear strain is associated with shear stress r ineq(1.5b). We use eq(1.32b) where u, is the unit vector normal to plane ABC and u2, is theunit vector aligned with r. The vector equation u,. employs the direction cosines for ABC andu2. employs the direction cosines given in egs(1.6a,b,c).

The reader will now recognise the similarities in stress and strain transformation equations.These are summarised in Table 1.1). To complete this comparison, use is• made of theoctahedral and deviatoric strains in Example 1.8.

normal vector in (a) and a perpendicular direction - 100 200 200

defined by a unit vector: u2. = - 0.25u, + 0.942u2 -

0.221u3, (c) the principal strains, (d) the state of strain on the maximum shear plane, (e) theoctahedral normal and shear strains, (f) the elastic dilation and mean strain and (g) thedeviatoric strains.

(a) Substituting e„ = l00µ, e22 = 20011, e33 = 200µ, e12 = 100p, e13 = - l00µ and e23 = 200Pinto eq(1.30b) gives the normal strain

(2/3)2100 + (1/3)2200 + (2/3)2200 + 2[(2/3)(1/3)100+ (1/3)(2/3)200 + (2/3)2 (- 100)] = l96.7µ

(b) The unit vectors ' equations yield the direction cosines (see eq 1.19a,b) l„ = 2/3, 112 = 1/3,113 = 2/3,12, = - 0.25, 12, = 0.942 and 123 = - 0.221. Substituting these into eq(1.31b) with thegiven strain components,

eV 2- = (2/3)(-0.25)100 + (1/3)(0.942)200 + (2/3)(-0.221)200+ [(2/3)(0.942) + (- 0.25)(1/3)]100 + [(1/3)(- 0.221) + (0.942)(2/3)]200+ [(2/3)(- 0.221) + (- 0.25)(2/3)](- 100) = 2l3.05µ

(c) The principal strains may be found from the cubic eq(1.27). When the roots are exact itis easier to find them by expanding the following determinant and factoring:

100 - e 100 - 100

100 200 - e 200

- 100 200 200 - e

= 0(e - 400)(e+ 100)(e - 200) = 0

e, = 400µ, e2 = 200µ and e3 = - 100µ

(d) The maximum shear strain expression (see Table 1.1) applies when e, > e2 > e3

1/2Ymmc = 12(et- e3)

' Ym^= e, - e3=400+ 100=500p

The norml strain on this plane is

e='h(e, + e3) = 1001

(e) Table 1.1 gives the expressions for the octahedral strains. The mean or hydrostatic strainin the normal direction is

e,,,=(e,+e2+e3)/3_ (400 + 200 - 100)/3 = 166.71.1

The octahedral shear strain is

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 27

n = (2/3) 3 [(e, - e2 )2 + (e2 - e3) 2 + (e , - e3)2]

= (2/3) 3[(400 - 200)2 +(200+ 100)2+ (400 + 100) 21 = 411 p

This is a radian measure of the angular change between two perpendicular directions: onealigned with the normal to the octahedral plane and the other aligned with the direction of theshear stress r, in that plane (direction cosines being given by eqs 1.17a,b,c).

(f) The elastic dilatation (volumetric strain) is

bV/V=e,+ e2+e3=3em=5O0µ

which equals the strain invariant I, and from which the mean strain e m = 166.7µ.

(g) Deviatoric strains will remain when the mean or hydrostatic strain em has been subtractedfrom the normal strain components. Correspondence with eq(1.21a) gives the strain deviator

e,,'=e,.- ems,=200- 166.7=33.3p=e,

These normal deviators , together with the given tensor shear strains, (recall 8, = 0 for i j),

constitute the deviatoric strain tensor ei . The six independent deviatoric components of straindefine unsymmetrical distortion.

1.6 Plane Stress

1.6.1 Analytical Method

The previous analytical expressions (1.5a,b) may be reduced to plane stress states. Say wewish to find expressions for the normal and shear stresses on each of the oblique planes inFigs 1.13a,b.

(a) (b)

Figure 1.13 Reduction to plane stress states

Page 28: 3D Stress

2$ MECHANICS OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES

With principal stresses o, and a2 in Fig. 1.13a, the oblique plane has normal direction cosines1= cos c m = cos (90°- a) = sin a, n = 0, relative to 1, 2 and 3. Substituting into eq(l.13a,b)

a= a, cos2a+ o sin2a=1/2(a,+o2)+ 1/2(0,-o2 ) cos2a (1.33a)

r2 = a,2cos2a+ a22sin2a- (o, cos2a+ oa sin 1a)2

=(a, - a2)2sin2acos2ar=1/2 (a, - a2) sin 2a

When a= 45°, the shear stress (1.33b) has its maximum value

'T.. = 2 a, - a2 )

(1.33b)

(1.33c)

Figure 1.13b shows a general plane stress state oX , oy and rte, = rte, . The cosines are again 1 =cosy m = sina and n = 0, relative to x, y and z. Substituting 1, m and n into eq(1.5a) providesthe normal stress on the oblique plane as

o= ox cos2a+ ay sin2a+ r, sin2a=1/2 (ao + o.) + 1/2 (o, - aj,) cos2a+ r sin2a (1.34a)

The shear stress on this plane is found from egs(1 .4a,b,c) and (1.5b)

S,, = ar,cosa+ ryx sins, Sy= aysina+ -rte,cosa and SZ=0

r2 =Sx2 +Sy2 + SZ2 - a2

= (or cos a+ ry, sina)2 + (ay sina+ r , COS a) 2 - [acos 2a+ ay sin2a+ rxy sin 2a] 2=1/4(as- ay)2sin22a- ry(a- ay)sin2acos2a+rxy2cos22a= [1/2 (oz - ay) sin 2a - r,, cos 2a ] 2

r=1/2(ax- or,)sin2a- ryCos 2a (1.34b)

Now from egs ( 1.9a,b,c ), the invariants become

J,=o +o., J2=oay- rsy2 and J3=0

The principal stress cubic eq(1.8b ) reduces to a quadratic

( UZxy2) = 0

giving the principal stresses as its roots

=1/2(or, + or

The directions of a principal plane AC are found by setting r= 0 in eq(1.34b),

tan 2a =2rzy/(ax- o)

(1.34c)

(1.34d)

Equation ( 1.34d) supplies the directions of two perpendicular principal planes upon whicho, and c2 act. The maximum shear stress is again given by eq( 1.33c) and this lies at 45° tothe principal directions . Equations (1.34a-d) may be reduced to simpler plane systems by

Page 29: 3D Stress

STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATION 29

setting one or more of the applied stress components to zero. For example, egs(1.33a,b) willreappear when rte, = 0 in egs(1.34a,b) because, in the absence of shear stress, the normalstresses ax and oY become the principal stresses o, and o2.

1.6.2 Mohr's Circle

The plane stress state (a, r) on the inclined plane (Fig. 1.13a,b) may also be found from asimpler Mohr's circle construction. Given the stress states for two perpendicular planes ABand BC (Fig. 1. 14a), normal stresses ox and oY are plotted to the right if tensile and to the leftif compressive. Clockwise shear stresses rYX on BC are plotted upward and anti-clockwiseshear stress r,, on AB is plotted downward. These locate two co-ordinate points for planesAB and BC lying on opposite ends of a diameter, thus enabling the circle to be drawn (seeFig. 1. 14b). A focus point F is found by intersection with the projection of the normal toplane AB through the corresponding co-ordinate point AB in the circle. F may also be locatedby projecting the normal to plane BC in a similar manner. Indeed F is the single focus pointof intersections between all such normal projections. Thus the stress state on plane AC isfound by projecting the normal to AC through the focus F. The point of intersection with thecircle shows that both ae and rB are positive, so their directions are as shown in Fig. 1. 14a.

(b)

The normal to other planes of interest may be projected from F. In particular, the major andminor principal planes lie normal to Fo, and Fat where or, and o2 are the principal stresses(points of zero shear stress on the circle). The line joining F to the top point (rmax) is thenormal to the maximum shear plane.

Example 1 .9 Given oX = 100 MPa, oY = 50 MPa and rte, = 65 MPa in Fig. 1.14a determinegraphically the principal stresses, the orientation of the principal planes and the maximumshear stress. Check your answers analytically.

A construction similar to Fig . 1.14b has co-ordinates AB (100,- 65) and BC (50, 65). Thecircle yields major and minor principal stresses of a, = 144.6 MPa and o2 = 5.36 MParespectively . The orientations of their planes are a= 44 .48° and a + 90 = 134.48°, relative

Page 30: 3D Stress

30 MECHANICS OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES

to AC. The vertical radius identifies with rmax = 69.62 MPa, this being inclined at a+ 45° =89.48° to AC. Checking analytically, eq(1.34c ) yields the major and minor principal stresses:

o„ o2=t/2 (100+ 50)±th 3[(100- 50)2+4(65)2]=75±69.64o, = 144.6 MPa and o2 = 5.36 MPa

Equation ( 1.34d) gives the respective orientations of their principal planes as

a= t/2 tan -' [2 x 65 / ( 100 - 50)] = 33.48 ° and 124.48°

Equation ( 1.33c) gives the maximum shear stress

rmax ='/2( 144.6 - 5 . 36) = 69.62 MPa

1.6.3 Matrix Method

Figure 1 . 15 shows a plane element with normal and shear stresses applied to its sides. Themathematical notation is now used to define the co-ordinate directions x, and x2 and the stresscomponents , as shown.

Figure 1 .15 Plane rotation in co-ordinate axes

We may again use eq ( 1.20a) to transform stress components following a rotation from axesx,, x2 into axes x,, , x2. when it is reduced to a plane transformation. That is, S and L aremultiplied as the 2 x 2 matrices

The components of the 2 x 2 matrix of direction cosines L are 1;1= cos x, x1. Subscript i refersto the primed axis and j to the unprimed axis. This gives

1„ = COS 01 112 = cos ( 90°- 0) = sin 0,121 = cos ( 0+ 90°) = - sing and 122 = cosO

The matrix multiplication in eq( 1.35) yields the transformed stress state in which thecomplementary shear conditions o12 = o , and o ,.2. = a2.,., have been applied,

a2.2. = a„ sin' B+ o22cos2B- a12sin 20

a1.2,=- ih(a„ - 022)sin 20+a12cos 20

These agree with the form of egs(1.34a,b). We may interpret the change in sign of the shearstress by reversing their directions along the x, and x2 axes in Fig. 1.15. This will restore thesign found by alternative analyses for an element with shear directions shown in Fig. 1.14a.Principal stresses follow from reducing the determinant in eq(1.7b) to

Equation (1.36) expands to agree with eq(1.34c)

The principal stress directions follow from eq(1.7a)

where I and m are the direction cosines for a given principal plane. Either eq(1.37a) or(1.37b) define the unit vectors aligned with the two principal directions, as the following

which act as shown in Fig. 1.16b. Note that the matrix supplies the complete stress state forthe rotated element. The principal stresses follow from expanding the determinant in eq(1.36)

a,= 12.07, a2=- 2.07 MPa

Substituting a, and o2 in turn for or in eq(1.37a) will provide 1 and m for the principaldirections. The following unit vectors n, and n2 , aligned with principal directions, may bederived from an arbitrary vector lying in each direction in the manner of Example 1.3.

n, = 0.9239u, + 0.3827u2n2 = 0.3827u, - 0.9239u2

These directions are perpendicular as n, • n2 = 0. Alternatively, for the major plane eq(1.34d)gives tan 20= 1, from which 0= 22.5° and l = cos 0= 0.9239.

1.7.1 Reductions to 2D Equations

Putting l = cosO, in = cos (90°- 0) = sin0and n = cos 90° = 0 in the normal strain expression(1.26b) leads to the normal strain in the direction of x' in Fig. 1.17a.

ey. = exsin20+ ey,cos20- t/2y, sin 20 (1.38b)

The shear strain between the primed directions x' and y' is found from eq(1.31c). Thedirection cosines of x' and y' are respectively

Equations ( 1.38a and b ) may be reduced to simpler strain systems by setting ex, ey and yxy tozero. Principal strains e , and e2 exist along two perpendicular directions for which shearstrain is absent . Setting yx , y. = 0 in eq ( 1.38c) gives the orientation of the major principalplane as

1.7.2 Analytical Method

The strains given in egs ( 1.38a-c) may be confirmed by direct differentiation of thedisplacements according to the infinitesimal strain definitions in egs ( 1.23a,b) and ( 1.24a).The geometry in Fig . 1.17b reveals the following relationships between the co-ordinates:

The displacements of a point P as it moves to P' are given by

1.7.3 Mohr's Circle

Because of the identical nature of stress and strain transformations , the directions of theprincipal stress and strain will be coincident . Moreover, a geometric similarity exists betweenthe Mohr 's stress and strain circles. A Mohr's circle can therefore be drawn for strain and afocus located within axes of a and thy, as shown in Fig. 1.18.

Figure 1 .18 Mohr's strain circle construction showing focus point F

For the stressed element (inset) ex is positive, yx,, is negative for plane AB while both ey andyam, are positive for the plane BC. These locate two diametrically opposite points on the circlethus enabling its construction. The focus F is then found by projecting the normal either tothe plane AB or to BC through the corresponding point on the strain circle. For any plane ACthe state of strain (e0, th yB) is found by projecting the normal to AC through F as shown. Theintercept point shows tensile strain (e0) in a direction normal to AC, accompanied by a netclockwise angular change of yB between AC and its normal. The inset diagram shows howto interpret these in terms of a translation and a rotation of plane AC. Points on the circlealong the horizontal diameter provide the principal strains e„ e2, and points along the verticaldiameter supply the maximum shear strains ± t/27m . Joining each of these extreme points toF will again provide the associated planes. Since the normals to planes AB, BC and AC arethe respective directions in which ex, er and eo act, we see that all normal strain directionsconverge upon F.

In practice, the magnitude and direction of the major and minor principal strains at thesurface of a structure may be determined by the measurement of surface strain in any threeorientations. A three-element, electrical resistance strain gauge rosette, when bonded to apoint on the surface, will measure the direct strains along each gauge axis. Knowing theinclination between the gauges (usually 45° or 60°) allows the principal strains and theirorientations to be found. Example 1.11 shows how this very useful experimental techniquedoes not require the shear strains associated with non-principal directions to be known.

Example 1.11 A strain gauge rosette is arranged with the axes of gauges 2 and 3 lyingrespectively at 60° and 120° anti-clockwise to gauge 1, as shown in Fig. 1.19a. These gaugesrecord direct tensile micro-strains along these axes of 700µ, - 250µ and 30011 respectively.Determine: (i) the maximum shear strain and (ii) the principal strains and their orientationsto the 1 - direction.
