The SS gauges measure the stress of the specimen in any direction in plane stress field. This is possible as the gauges are sensitive in both axial and transverse direction and they are insensitive of shearing strain. These gauges provide output proportional to the stress measured in the axial direction. The sensitivity ratio of the transverse to axial direction can be represented by the Poisson’s ratio of the specimen.
