A method of concentric Mohr's circles for correcting transverse sensitivity errors in bonded resistance strain-gauge readings in a biaxial stress field is explained and its use illustrated. A coaxial gauge pair with one element of negative and one of positive transverse sensitivity is proposed for corrected evaluation of readings.
