Consider a unit cube subjected to normal stress σx, σy, σz. Assume normal stress does not produce any shear stress on planes x, y, z. What will be the net strain along x direction? b) 1/E c) 1/E d) 1/E

Consider a unit cube subjected to normal stress σx, σy, σz. Assume normal stress does not produce any shear stress on planes x, y, z. What will be the net strain along x direction? b) 1/E c) 1/E d) 1/E Correct Answer 1/E

The stress along y and z-directions will produce an equivalent strain of -νσy and -νσz in the x-direction. So, these strain values will get subtracted from the original strain produced by σx and net strain in the x-direction will be 1/E .
