Deformation
In this problem we examine how displacement field can be used to find out the deformed configuration given the original configuration. Note "a" is used instead of "X", to denote the undeformed (original) configuration.
In order to solve the problem, we need to locate the deformed state of specific particles and lines using the displacement field. In this case, we use points O, A, C and B; lines OA, AC, CB and BA. Define the deformed points by primes and lines as dashed.
