Question 30
AEMCQ1 markNeeds review
In the given figure, plate ABCD in its undeformed configuration (solid line) is a rhombus with all the internal angles being 90°. The lengths of the undeformed diagonals are 20 cm. ABCD deforms as shown by the dotted lines. Upon deformation, diagonal AC reduces to 19.96 cm and BD increases to 20.04 cm. In the given x-y coordinate system, the engineering shear strain
is equal to ____.
