Various Strain components
Various Strain components
(OP)
Hi guys,
I am trying to simulate micro-indentation tests on given materials. I asked to compare a list of strains across different materials, namely, "Hydrostatic strain", "Deviatoric strain", "equivalent strain" and "effective strain". I am a bit confused about these strains and don't know whether they can be outputted directly from Abaqus that I am using or they have to be calculated from some other computed parameters. could anybody give me some hints, please?
Many thanks,
Michael

You can create variables for the components of the deviatoric strain (since it is a tensor) in the same way. For "equivalent" and "effective" strain make sure you check the equation defining these terms as there is no generally accepted definition of these quantities.
