Let's consider s Y s e 0
s e = 0 only if s = s0+ and e = e0+
or if s = s0 and e = e0
s0+ e0+ = 0
represents the
normality rule
Note that if s Y ( s0 s ) e0 0
thus the angle between ( s s ) and e is always less than
0

e0+ e e0
The deformation of the elementary masonry unit when s=0
is obtained as any linear combination of e0+, e0-, and e.
Why does the rotation occur only about the top or bottom
outermost fibers?

e depends on N
