APPARATUS:
Model beam Strain rossete (g.f=2.05) Strain meter 45v dc bettery Pressure cell Vernier calliper Measuring tape Connecting wires
RELATED THEORY
PRINCIPLE STRESSES :
Stresses On The Principle Plain Are Principle Stresses.
PRINCIPLE STRAIN :
strain due to principle stresses. The extreme values of normal strain at any point in the material are called principal strains. Major principal strain = 1 = max Minor principal strain = 2 = min

STRAIN ROSETTE: Definition: Combination of at least three strain gauges cemented/pasted in three different directions on the surface of structural components to determine the complete state of stress and strains. DESCRIPTION:

So in this way we have three equations and three unknowns x y xy. So the equations can be solved for these three values.
TYPES:
Usually there are four types of strain rosettes available in the market. 45 Strain Rosette. 60 Strain Rosette. 120 Strain Rosette. 4-element Strain Rosette.
45 STRAIN ROSETTE: A strain rosette having included angle of 45 between two consecutive elements.
Strain Rosette.

ADVANTAGES:
We can have a counter check of the computed values of coordinate strains (Precision)
