STRAIN GAUGE TECHNIQUE 2) A rectangular strain resette, when mounted on a structural member, produces the...
Question 2 I (a) Using a 459 strain gauge rosette placed on a mild steel structure, the following strains were established from the measurements taken:£x = 75x10", Eyy =-115x10-6 = 210 10-6 and Yxy yy (i) Determine the corresponding normal stresses Ox and and shear stress txy. For mild steel, use Young's modulus E= 205 GPa , Poisson's ratio v=0.3 and shear modulus G = 78.8 GPa. [6 marks] (ii) Using the values obtained in (i), determine the principal stresses...
