Abstract

The strain tensor and principal strains were derived for a range of different patterns of three-dimensional strain transducers. The precisions of the estimates of these values were based on the Monte Carlo simulation applied to experimental work that was conducted on strain transducers tested within the same strain field. The estimates of precision were also determined theoretically and compared with results based on experimental findings. Results suggest that the tetrahedron transducers in experimental work do not perform as well as rectangular patterns and that estimates of principal strains, which were not coincident with the axes of the transducer, showed slight discrepancies.
