Transverse Sensitivity Errors

A calculator for

Two-Element Tee (90 deg) Rosettes

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

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

Dependent Variable
Actual Strains (microstrain),


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