Objective “To study the stress and strain induced in an I-beam under symmetric and unsymmetrical bending” [2]. Theory: σ – Normal stress (Mpa) ε – Strain (mm/mm) M – Moment (kN∙m) I – Moment of inertia (mm^6) E – Modulus of elasticity (Mpa) G – Modulus of elasticity (Mpa) v – Poisson’s ratio. L – Length (m) *Subscripts x‚ y‚ z indicate plane of reference. The strain rosettes are orientated so that θb = 0‚ θc = -45‚ and θa = 45. The strain gauge equations then simplify to εx = εb

Income Elasticity of Demand The Income Elasticity of Demand measures the degree to which consumers respond to a change in their incomes by buying more or less of a particular good. The coefficient of income elasticity of demand is determined with the formula: (% change in quantity demanded) / (% change in income) (McConnell & Brue). Income elasticity of demand is used to see how sensitive the demand for a good is to an income change. The higher the income elasticity‚ the more sensitive demand
