The strain tensor for a material is found to be 5 1 X = 14 2 -110- 2 -1 3 calculate the three principal strains? The strain tensor for a material is found to be 5 1 X = 14 2 -110- 2 -1 3 calculate the three principal strains?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the principal strains we need to find the eigenvalues of the strain tensor The principal strains are the roots of the characteristic equation which is given by detxI x 0 where x is the strain tensor given above I is the identity matrix and x is the eigenvalue ... View the full answer
