Key Concepts
- -- Strain Tensor
- A mathematical representation of the deformation of materials expressed as a matrix.
- -- Cylindrical Coordinates
- A coordinate system that specifies each point by its distance from a reference point, its angle from a reference direction, and its height.
- -- Radial Strain
- The longitudinal strain occurring in the radial direction of a cylindrical body.
- -- Hoop Strain
- The circumferential strain that accounts for elongation of a line element directed along the circumferential direction of a cylinder.
- -- Shear Strain
- A measure of how much a line segment deforms when subject to a shear force.
