A strain gage rosette is, by definition, an arrangement of two or more closely positioned gage grids, separately oriented to measure the normal strains along different directions in the underlying surface of the test part. Rosettes are designed to perform a very practical and important function in experimental stress analysis. It can
the same point on the test part surface. Thus, the stacked rosette more nearly approaches measurement of the strains at a point. Although normally a trivial consideration, it can also be noted that all gages in a stacked rosette have the same gage factor and transverse sensitivity, while the grids in a planar rosette will differ slightly in these
