Examples of Deformations
Homogeneous (or affine) deformations are useful in elucidating the behavior of materials. Some homogeneous deformations of interest are
- uniform extension
- pure dilation
- simple shear
- pure shear
Plane deformations are also of interest, particularly in the experimental context.

“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
