The <strong>Strain</strong> Ellipse<br />
• the strain ellipse allows us to<br />
describe the amount of<br />
deform<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> has occurred in<br />
an originally circular body<br />
•S 1 = the direction <strong>and</strong><br />
magnitude of maximum finite<br />
stretch (long axis, e 1 )<br />
•S 3 = the direction <strong>and</strong><br />
magnitude of minimum finite<br />
stretch (short axis, e 3 )
