Example 1
[edit | edit source]Convert the stress-strain relation for isotropic materials (in matrix form) into an equation in index notation. Show all the steps in the process.
Solution
[edit | edit source]The stress-strain relation is
Let us expand out the terms and put all of them in a similar form. Thus,
We know that . Also a quantity that is when and when can be represented by the Kronecker . Therefore, we can write the above equations as
or,
