Strain Rosette For Strain Measurement

A strain rosette uses three strain gauges positioned at different angles to measure the three independent components of plane strain. The longitudinal strain measured by each gauge is converted to strain in the x-y coordinate system using a transformation equation. This results in a system of equations that can be solved to determine the unknown strains ex, ey, and exy. Special cases include a 45° rosette aligned with x-y and a 60° rosette with the middle gauge along the y-axis.

Strain Rosette for Strain Measurement

Strain Rosette for Strain Measurement

A wire strain gage can effectively measure strain in only one


direction. To determine the three independent components of
plane strain, three linearly independent strain measures are
needed, i.e., three strain gages positioned in a rosette-like
layout.

Consider a strain rosette attached on the surface with an angle


a from the x-axis. The rosette itself contains three strain gages
with the internal angles b and g, as illustrated on the right.

Suppose that the strain measured from these three strain gages
are ea, eb, and ec, respectively.

The following coordinate transformation equation is used to convert the longitudinal strain from each
strain gage into strain expressed in the x-y coordinates,

Applying this equation to each of the three strain gages results in the following system of equations,

These equations are then used to solve for the three unknowns, ex, ey, and exy.

Note: 1. The above formulas use the strain measure exy as opposed to the engineering shear strain

gxy, . To use gxy, the above equations should be adjusted


accordingly.

2. The free surface on which the strain rosette is attached is actually in a state of plane
stress, while the formulas used above are for plane strain. However, the normal direction
of the free surface is indeed a principal axis for strain. Therefore, the strain transform in
the free surface plane can be applied.

Special Cases of Strain Rosette Layouts

Case 1: 45º strain rosette aligned with the x-y axes, i.e., a = 0º, b = g = 45º.

Case 2: 60º strain rosette, the middle of which is aligned with the y-axis, i.e., a = 30º, b = g = 60º.
