Shearing Deformation Shearing forces cause shearing deformation. An element subject to shear does not change in length but undergoes a change in shape.
The change in angle at the corner of an original rectangular element is called the shear strainand is expressed as
The ratio of the shear stress and the shear strain is called the modulus of elasticity in shear ormodulus of rigidity and is denoted as G, in MPa.
The relationship between the shearing deformation and the applied shearing force is
Poisson's Ratio When a bar is subjected to a tensile loading there is an increase in length of the bar in the direction of the applied load, but there is also a decrease in a lateral dimension perpendicular to the load. The ratio of the sidewise deformation (or strain) to the longitudinal deformation (or strain) is called the Poisson's ratio and is denoted by . For most steel, it lies in the range of 0.25 to 0.3, and 0.20 for concrete.
where x is strain in the x-direction and y and z are the strains in the perpendicular direction. The negative sign indicates a decrease in the transverse dimension when x is positive.
Biaxial Deformation If an element is subjected simultaneously by tensile stresses, x and y, in the x and y directions, the strain in the x direction is x/E and the strain in the y direction is y/E. Simultaneously, the stress in the y direction will produce a lateral contraction on the x direction of the amount - y or - y/E. The resulting strain in the x direction will be

or
Triaxial Deformation If an element is subjected simultaneously by three mutually perpendicular normal stresses x, y, and z, which are accompanied by strains x, y, and z, respectively,
Tensile stresses and elongation are taken as positive. Compressive stresses and contraction are taken as negative. Relationship Between E, G, and The relationship between modulus of elasticity E, shear modulus G and Poisson's ratio is:
Bulk Modulus of Elasticity or Modulus of Volume Expansion, K The bulk modulus of elasticity K is a measure of a resistance of a material to change in volume without change in shape or form. It is given as

(okay!) Problem 223 A rectangular steel block is 3 inches long in the x direction, 2 inches long in the y direction, and 4 inches long in the z direction. The block is subjected to a triaxial loading of three uniformly distributed forces as follows: 48 kips tension in the x direction, 60 kips compression in the y direction, and 54 kips tension in the z direction. If = 0.30 and E = 29 106 psi, determine the single uniformly distributed load in the x direction that would produce the same deformation in the y direction as the original loading.
Solution 223
For triaxial deformation (tensile triaxial stresses): (compressive stresses are negative stresses)
(tension) (compression)
(tension)
Thus,
y is negative, thus, tensile force is required in the x-direction to produce the same deformation in the y-direction as the original forces.
Problem 224 For the block loaded triaxially as described in Prob. 223, find the uniformly distributed load that must be added in the x direction to produce no deformation in the z direction.
Solution 224
z is positive, thus positive stress is needed in the x-direction to eliminate deformation in z-direction.
The application of loads is still simultaneous: (No deformation means zero strain)
