A single strain gage, placed in the vertical plane on the outer surface and at an angle 60 to the axis of the pipe, gives a reading at point A of PA = -250(10-6 ). Determine the principal strains in the pipe at this point. The pipe has an outer diameter of 1 in. and an inner diameter of 0.6 in. and is made of C86100 bronze.
Problem 10-46A single strain gage, placed in the vertical plane on the outer surface and at an angle 60 to the -6axis of the pipe, gives a reading at point A of PA = -250x10 . Determine the principal strains inthe pipe at this point. The pipe has an outer diameter of 1 in. and an inner diameter of 0.6 in.and is made of C86100 bronze. Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 4 ^Consider the following free body diagram which represents a small segment at point A:
