Compute D matrix for plane problems
Short answer
For plane stress, D = [[219780,65934,0],[65934,219780,0],[0,0,76923]] MPa. For plane strain, D = [[269231,115385,0],[115385,269231,0],[0,0,76923]] MPa. With epsilon_x=0.001, plane stress gives sigma_x=219.8, sigma_y=65.9, sigma_z=0 MPa; plane strain gives sigma_x=269.2, sigma_y=115.4, sigma_z=115.4 MPa.
For a steel with GPa and , compute the elasticity matrix for (a) plane stress and (b) plane strain. For a strain state , , , find the stresses , and in each case.
(a) Plane stress
Note that and .
(b) Plane strain
Stresses for
| Case | (MPa) | (MPa) | (MPa) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plane stress | 0 | ||
| Plane strain |
The shear modulus term is the same in both cases. Plane strain gives higher stresses because is enforced.
Answer: plane stress MPa, MPa, ; plane strain MPa, MPa, MPa.
