Question: A square plate, 1 m long on a side, is loaded in a state of plane strain, and has a linear displacement field, as shown

A square plate, 1m long on a side, is loaded in a state of plane strain, and has a linear displacement field, as shown in the following figure.
1) Write expressions for the displacements u and v for any point on the plate.
2) Determine the components of the Green strain:
3) Determine the magnification factor M at point B for a line segment in the direction of O->B.
4) Determine the magnification factor M at point B for a line segment in the direction of B->A.
5) Determine the shear strain between the line segments O->B and B->A.
6) For point B, compare the components of strain from 2) to the components of strain for small-displacements .
7) Compare the strain determined in 3) to the corresponding strain using small-displacement theory.
[hint: assume the displacements vary by-linearly, meaning are functions of x, y and xy]
