5. ++++ DKDU
The right answer is (4) ++++ .
? Eqn. (??) is wrong because σ
22
?= 0 due to
Poisson’s e?ect.
? Eqn. (??) is correct, ?
33
?= 0 due to the
imposed displacement, ?
11
?= 0 due to Pois-
son’s e?ect and ?
22
= 0 because of the plane
strain condition.
? Eqn. (??) is wrong, it contradicts Eqn. (??).
? Eqn. (??) is correct, the plane strain condi-
tions are actually materialized via u
2
= 0.
