Task 5:
The rectangular plate is deformed into the shape of a parallelogram shown by the dashed line.
Take $a = 370$ mm and $b\b = 270$ mm. Determine the average normal strain along edge AD and the average shear strain at corner A with respect to the x and y axes.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Average normal shear strain:
Average shear strain:
