Problem 2(33 points): Strain field within a loaded continuum
We consider three strain gauges: G1,G2 and G3. There is 45 between G1 and G2 and 45 between G2 and G3.
The three strain gauge are installed on a structure supposed to be subject to a biaxial load. If there is no defect (damage or cracks) in the structure, the biaxial loads should be orientated along the direction of G1 and G3.
If there is no cracks in the structure, what should be the relationship between the longitudinal strain in the direction of G2,2, and the longitudinal strains in the direction of G1 and G3,1 and 3?
The measure of G1,G2 and G3 are indeed 1=-8.10-06,2=-8.10-06, and 3=-2.10-06.
A. Is 2 satisfying the relationship determined in the previous question? What can you conclude?
B. Determine the orientations of the biaxial load
C. Determine the magnitude of the strain along the two direction of loads
