Question: (a) Consider a W = that is pure expansion: Using Eq. (11.3) show that, in the vicinity of a chosen point, the displacement vector
(a) Consider a W = ∇ξ that is pure expansion:
![]()
Using Eq. (11.3) show that, in the vicinity of a chosen point, the displacement vector is
![]()
Draw this displacement vector field.
(b) Similarly, draw ξ(x) for a W that is pure rotation.
(c) Draw ξ(x) for a W that is pure shear. To simplify the drawing, assume that the shear is confined to the x-y plane, and make your drawing for a shear whose only nonzero components are Σxx = −Σyy. Compare your drawing with Fig. 11.3.
