Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2016 > Stress and Strain
Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following statements, [a] and [r]:

[a]: In a plane stress problem, the shear strains along the thickness direction of a body are zero but the normal strain along the thickness is not zero.
[r]: In a plane stress problem, Poisson effect induces the normal strain along the thickness direction of the body.
A
Both [a] and [r] are true and [r] is the correct reason for [a].
B
Both [a] and [r] are true but [r] is not the correct reason for [a].
C
Both [a] and [r] are false.
