A rectangular element used in plane stress analysis has corners whose coordinates in metres referred to an Oxy axes system are 1(−2, −1), 2(2, −1), 3(2, 1), 4(−2, 1). The displacements of the corners (in metres) are
\begin{aligned}&u_1=0.001 \quad u_2=0.003 \quad u_3=-0.003 \quad u_4=0 \\&v_1=-0.004 \quad v_2=-0.002 \quad v_3=0.001 \quad v_4=0.001\end{aligned}
If Young’s modulus is 200 000 N/mm² and Poisson’s ratio is 0.3 calculate the strains at the centre of the element.
