𝛾𝛾𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥

a) 𝜀𝜀1= 13η 𝜀𝜀2= 3η θ1= 161,57° from x (Calculated θ is -18.43°,

since 𝜀𝜀1 > 𝜀𝜀2 , then θ1 = θ )

b) 𝛾𝛾𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 = 10η θγmax= 116,57° or 26.57° from x (Calculated θ is 26.57°,

second option is 90° + θ,
the angles are 45° either side of 𝜀𝜀1

𝜀𝜀𝑥𝑥 + 𝜀𝜀𝑦𝑦 = 𝜀𝜀𝑥𝑥𝑥 + 𝜀𝜀𝑦𝑦𝑦 = 𝐼𝐼1 2 2
−𝜀𝜀𝑥𝑥 𝜀𝜀𝑦𝑦 + 𝛾𝛾𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥 = 𝜀𝜀𝑥𝑥𝑥 𝜀𝜀𝑦𝑦𝑦 + 𝛾𝛾𝑥𝑥′𝑦𝑦′ = 𝐼𝐼2

𝛾𝛾𝑥𝑥𝑥𝑥
𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝜃𝜃ε =
𝜀𝜀𝑥𝑥 − 𝜀𝜀𝑦𝑦

c) 𝜀𝜀y’= 10.5η using 𝐼𝐼1

𝛾𝛾x’y’ = 6.76η using 𝐼𝐼2

Calculate angle from x’ to principal direction, the principal direction is fixed and
therefore using previous angle of θ1 from x and the angle θ1 from x’ you can
determine x’ from x.
