5. Problem 1-9 (Martin Sadd)
6. (a) Consider a square plate of unit size defined as shown. Find all the Lagrangian and Eulerian
strain components.
(b) Repeat the problem in (a) but with the angle of distortion reduced from 30o to 1o.
Comment on the influence of reduced deformations on the Lagrangian and the Eulerian strain
components.
7. A circular cylinder in its undeformed configuration has radius ‘a’ and its axis lies along X3 axis. It
undergoes the deformation:
x1 = X1 cos (βX3) + X2 sin (βX3),
x2 = -X1 sin (βX3) + X2 cos (βX3),
x3 = X3
where β is a constant. A line drawn on the surface of the cylinder has unit length and is parallel to
the axis of the cylinder (X3-axis). Determine the length of the line after deformation in terms of
radius ‘a’ and the constant β.
