How to Calculate and Solve for Plain Normal Anisotropy | Anisotropy
Last Updated on July 27, 2022
The plain normal anisotropy is illustrated by the image below.
To compute for plain normal anisotropy, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Strain Width (εw) and Strain Thickness (εt).
The formula for calculating the plain normal anisotropy:
R = εw/εt
Where:
R = Plain Normal Anisotropy
εw = Strain Width
εt = Strain Thickness
Let’s solve an example;
Find the plain normal anisotropy when the strain width is 14 and the strain thickness is 7.
This implies that;
εw = Strain Width = 14
εt = Strain Thickness = 7
R = εw/εt
R = 14/2
R = 7
Therefore, the plain normal anisotropy is 7.
Calculating the Strain Width when the Plain Normal Anisotropy and the Strain Thickness is Given.
εw = R x εt
Where:
εw = Strain Width
R = Plain Normal Anisotropy
εt = Strain Thickness
Let’s solve an example;
Find the strain width when the plain normal anisotropy is 8 and the strain thickness is 4.
This implies that;
R = Plain Normal Anisotropy = 8
εt = Strain Thickness = 4
εw = R x εt
εw = 8 x 4
εw = 32
Therefore, the strain width is 32.
Calculating the Strain Thickness when the Plain Normal Anisotropy and the Strain Width is Given.
εt = εw / R
Where:
εt = Strain Thickness
R = Plain Normal Anisotropy
εw = Strain Width
Let’s solve an example;
Find the strain thickness when the plain normal anisotropy is 10 and the strain width is 20.
This implies that;
R = Plain Normal Anisotropy = 10
εw = Strain Width = 20
εt = εw / R
εt = 20 / 10
εt = 2
Therefore, the strain thickness is 2.
