Hi,

I am in need of expressing a strain field in a different coordinate system (new coordinate system is rotated w.r.t. the old one). The strain components are available to me in the old coordinate system (E11, E22, E33, E12, E13, E23), and I just need to re-write it in the new coordinate system. Alternatively, I can get the principal strain components, but still need to get the components in new system.

Someone has a good reference or link to a tutorial how I can do this? Thanks a bunch.

Look up stress or strain transformation. It is in almost any Mechanics / Elasticity textbook - especially in reference to material anisotropy.

{Epsilon_rotated}=[T]*{Epsilon_original} where [T] is the transformation matrix.

Or look up Mohr's circle...
