    Strain Rossette Example

    Uploaded by

    Qaiser Khan
    The document describes the process of using a delta rosette strain gauge to measure strains on a structure and calculate principal stresses. Strain readings are taken in three directions and used to calculate direct strains, shear strain, and principal strains through transformation equations. The principal stresses are then determined using Hooke's law. Transverse sensitivity effects are accounted for by applying correction equations to refine the strain measurements. Accounting for these effects changes the calculated principal stresses by 1.6-2.1% and rotates the principal stress axis slightly.

    Example of strain rosette calculations and of the

    errors which can be corrected using the


    transverse sensitivity factor provided with these
    gauges.

    A delta rosette is mounted at a point on a


    structure with its 0gauge aligned with the
    X-axis of an arbitrary coordinate system.
    Strain readings are obtained using bridge
    circuits and assuming perfect thermal
    compensation. The transverse sensitivity
    coefficient Kt = 0.02.
    Strain readings are:

    0
    0

    Youngs Modulus E = 10 Mpsi


    Poissons Ratio = 0.32
