Example. Continuing from before, with e,, = 8000 p, eyy = 2000 ps,
eq = 4500 ,us:

4500)

r = .\j3O0O2 + 4500' = 5410ys = maximum mathematical shear strain

Maximum engineering shear strain = 2 x 5410


Principal strains are


= 10,820 ps.
(5000 + 5410) = 10,410p
(5000 - 5410) = -410,~~.

This is the practical use of the two-dimensional strain transformation
