Insert a tube into one hole to measure static pressure with an inclined manometer ordigital manometer (resolution of 0.0x inches water). Cut another hole, with precisely measureddiameter, approximately in the middle of one face-side of the bag.

the gage, a rosette gives three normal strains. These three normal strains are converted to the two normal and one shear strain using the strain transformation equation. This is: e q = e x cos 2 q + e y sin 2 q + g xy sin q cosq Since e x , e y , and g xy are the necessary strains, this equation will be written three times, once for each strain gage. These three equations will then be solved for the three unknowns, e x , e y , and g xy . For a 45° strain rosette assuming that the x- axis is along the long axis of the center gage, this becomes: e 45° = e x cos 2 45 + e y sin 2 45 + g xy sin 45 cos 45 e - 45° = e x cos 2 (-45) + e y sin 2 (-45

Table II list the results of all experiments performed on the neural network with eightinput nodes, five nodes in the hidden layer, and three nodes in the output layer. In all cases thenetwork weights were started at random values, even when a training sequence was repeated witha smaller RMS goal. Given the network size, a desired minimum number of training sets shouldbe greater than 25. The H-series experiment exceeds this goal, while both the T-series and Q-series use less than the desired minimum. This will allow some exploration of the exactness ofthis minimum
