AE 321 - Homework #5 Due: Monday March 11, 2019 Chapter 3 and 4: Strain and Mechanics of Materials

This document provides instructions for homework assignment #5 on strain and mechanics of materials. It includes 4 problems: 1) computing strain components and properties for a given strain tensor, 2) calculating infinitesimal strain tensors for different displacement fields, 3) deriving an expression for strain energy density in terms of strains for an isotropic material, and 4) using material properties to find traction on a surface and identify key points on a stress-strain curve for aluminum 6061-T6.
