Rationale For Plain Strain Assumption in Long or Infinite Bars
Any nonuniform axial strain distribution leads to absurd distortions of the cross-section in case of infinite bar, so the axial strain distribution in infinitely long bar must be uniform. Plane strain ...

Rationale For Plain Strain Assumption in Long or Infinite Bars
The constraint holding the axial strain to nearly zero doesn't need to be applied by an external factor such as a clamp or friction. It can be applied by the object itself.
Consider a long bar or rod ...

Mechanics of Materials Method for Curved Beam with Different Centers
The neutral axis is as per the definition the locus of centroids of the cross sections.
If it is an arc of a circle, it is the curvature of the beam and its center is the center of the curve. As long ...
