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,

$\epsilon_{ij} = \frac12\left({\frac{\partial u_i}{\partial x_j}} + {\frac{\partial u_j}{\partial x_i}}\right)$
