The last part of the chapter was devoted to the transformation of
strain. In Secs. 7.10 and 7.11, we discussed the transformation of
plane strain and introduced Mohr’s circle for plane strain. The dis-
cussion was similar to the corresponding discussion of the transfor-
mation of stress, except that, where the shearing stress t was used,
we now used
1
g, that is, half the shearing strain. The formulas
obtained for the transformation of strain under a rotation of axes
through an angle u were

Using Mohr’s circle for strain (Fig. 7.89), we also obtained the fol-
lowing relations defining the angle of rotation u

corresponding to
the principal axes of strain and the values of the principal strains

Section 7.12 was devoted to the three-dimensional analysis of
strain, with application to the determination of the maximum shear-
ing strain in the particular cases of plane strain and plane stress. In
the case of plane stress, we also found that the principal strain P
c
in
a direction perpendicular to the plane of stress could be expressed
as follows in terms of the “in-plane’’ principal strains P
a
and P

:

Finally, we discussed in Sec. 7.13 the use of strain gages to measure
the normal strain on the surface of a structural element or machine
component. Considering a strain rosette consisting of three gages
aligned along lines forming respectively, angles u
1
, u
2
, and u

with
the x axis (Fig. 7.90), we wrote the following relations among the
measurements P

of the gages and the components P

characterizing the state of strain at that point:

These equations can be solved for P

have been determined.
