    Strain analysis using Star rosette

    Thanks I seem to understand strain analysis better. But if I may ask, how do I orientate a star rosette to be used on the Mohr's circle? While I understand how a delta rosette is re-orientated to be used in the circle, I can't seem to do the same with a star rosette. And here is the...

    Hi I'm studying strain analysis using Mohr's circle. I have some problem using a star rosette to construct the circle. My problem lies with trying to identify the points which indicate the planes the rosette act on. Besides that, what is meant by "strain rosette with gauge X (gauge X being...
