Question

An element is subjected to biaxial normal tensile strains of 0.0030 and 0.0020. The normal strain in the plane of maximum shear strain is.

• A. 0.0050
• B. Zero
• C. 0.0025
• D. 0.0010

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0.0025

$(\in {)}_{\text{at max shear strain}}=\frac{{\in }_1+{\in }_2}{2}$

$=\frac{0.0030+0.0020}{2}=0.0025$
