Learning Objectives

  • develop a mathematical description of the local state of deformation at a material point
  • understand the tensorial character of the resulting strain tensor
  • distinguish between a compatible and an incompatible strain field and understand the mathematical requirements for strain compatibility
  • describe the local state of strain from experimental strain-gage measurements
  • understand the limitations of the linearized theory and discern situations where nonlinear effects need to be considered.
