Question: The average normal strains measured by a strain rosette at angles of 2 7 0 , 1 0 5 0 , and 2 6 1

The average normal strains measured by a strain rosette at angles of 270,1050, and 2610 counterclockwise from the horizontal x-axis at a point on the free surface of a plane stressed body ( =0.3 and E =210 GPa) are, +50 ,+225 , and -70 , respectively. Determine:
(a) The strain components x, y, and xy at the point.
(b) The principal strains, the maximum in-plane shearing strain at the point, and the angle (relative to the vertical plane) at which the maximum principal strain acts.
(c) The normal stresses (x and y) and the shearing stress (xy) at the point.
(d) The normal and shearing strain on a plane inclined at 30o anticlockwise from the horizontal plane.
