Good morning, I wanted to know how it is possible that, despite the reactor being under pressure, negative deformations occur. I probably don’t fully understand their physical meaning. Link below. Thanks
Hi,
Strains are, by definition, the ratio between a delta in the size of the structure divided by the original dimension.
Depending on the orientation and on which strain component you’re looking, you might see cells getting stretched or shrinking in that direction.
Thus the negative/positive values.
Cheers
