PROBLEM (8.130) Using a 60° rosette, we find the following strains at a critical point on the
surface of a loaded beam shown in Fig. P8.130:
a
= -200
, b
= -350
, c
= -500
Determine:
(a) The maximum in-plane shear strains and the accompanying normal strains.
(b) The true maximum shear strain. Use
= 0.3.
Sketch the results found in part (a) on a properly oriented distorted element.
