Question:

On the surface of a structural component in a space vehicle, the strainsare monitored by means of three strain gages arranged as shown in the figure.
During a certain maneuver, the following strains were recorded: (a = 1100 ( 10-6, (b = 200 ( 10-6, and (c = 200 ( 10-6.
Determine the principal strains and principal stresses in the material, which is a magnesium alloy for which E = 6000 ksi and v = 0.35. (Show the principal strains and principal stresses on sketches of properly oriented element)?
