Transverse Sensitivity Errors

A calculator for

Half-Bridge Shear Patterns

With the same transverse sensitivity for each grid in the rosette.

Independent Variables
Indicated Shear Strain (microstrain),
Transverse Sensitivity (%),
Poisson's Ratio* (nondimensional),

Dependent Variable
Actual Shear Strain (microstrain),


Note
* The Poisson's ratio of the material on which the manufacturer's gage factor was measured (usually 0.285).
