Answer: ε₁+ε₂+ε₃ = 0
Explanation: Considering the initial and final volume to be constant which gives rise to the relation:-
l₀l₀l₀=l₁l₂l₃
taking natural log on both sides
Considering the logarithmic Laws of division and multiplication :
ln(AB) = ln(A)+ln(B)
ln(A/B) = ln(A)-ln(B)
Use the image attached to see the definition of true strain defined as
ln(l1/1o)= ε₁
which then proves that ε₁+ε₂+ε₃ = 0
