In the case of plane stress, where the in-plane principal strains are given by (epsilon_{1}) and (epsilon_{2}),

Question:

In the case of plane stress, where the in-plane principal strains are given by \(\epsilon_{1}\) and \(\epsilon_{2}\), show that the third principal strain can be obtained from
\[\epsilon_{3}=\frac{-u\left(\epsilon_{1}+\epsilon_{2}\right)}{(1-u)}\]

where \(u\) is Poisson's ratio for the material.
