• In order to determine the total strain produced along a particular direction, we can apply the principle of superposition.

• For Example, the resultant strain along the x-axis, comes from the strain contribution due to the application of ?x, ?y and ?z.

  • ?x causes: in the x-direction
  • ?y causes: in the x-direction
  • ?z causes: in the x-direction
  • Applying the principle of superposition (x-axis):
