Notes on Plane Stress and Plane Strain
Strain
gages are used to measure strains of the body and are typically mounted on the
surfaces, since there are no normal/shear tractions on the surface.
A state of '' plane stress'' can be assumed.
Problem:
If the principal strains at a given strain gage indicate 0.004 and 0.001 in/in,
what is the principal stress at that location.
