Example 1
Given:
The compatibility equations in terms of the strains are (in index notation)
The stress-strain relations for a linear elastic material are
Show:
Substituting the stress-strain relations into the compatibility equations, show that the compatibility equation of stress can be expressed as
Solution
Substituting the stress-strain relations into the left hand side of the compatibility equations and multiplying both sides by , we get,
Now, the rule states that
Therefore,
Recall that,
Therefore,
Hence,
Hence shown.
