What is a scale model?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: A scale model is one where essential parameters, such as geometry, model size, gravity, friction, viscosity, strain rate etc. have proportionally been scaled down. Plane strain is where there is no shortening or extension perpendicular to the plane containing the maximum and minimum strain axes (X and Z), i.e. Y = 1. Hence (X/Y)/(Y/Z) = 1 and X/Z = 1 for constant volume plane strain, which plots along the main diagonal in the Flinn diagram. If volume change is involved plane strain plots along an offset diagonal.
