The state of strain at the point on the bracket has components ?x = 350(10-6 ), ?y = -860(10-6 ), γxy = 250(10-6 ). Use the strain-transformation equations to determine the equivalent in-plane strains on an element oriented at an angle of θ = 45° clockwise from the original position. Sketch the deformed element within the x - y plane due to these strains.
