Name

Geometric Strain (GeometricStrain) — The symmetric derivative of the displacement field.

Synopsis

GeometricStrain()

Details

Base class: StrainType

Description

The geometric strain, $\epsilon_{ij}$ is the symmetric derivative of the Displacement field, $u$ . It depends only on the field, and not on any material properties. Specifically,

\epsilon_{ij}=\frac{1}{2}\left({\frac{\partial u_{i}}{\partial x_{j}}}+{\frac{% \partial u_{j}}{\partial x_{i}}}\right)
