  2. 12.4: Stress, Strain, and Elastic Modulus (Part 1)

    phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/University_Physics_(OpenStax...

    Tensile stress and strain occur when the forces are stretching an object, causing its elongation, and the length change \(\Delta L\) is positive. Compressive stress and strain occur when the forces are contracting an object, causing its shortening, and the length change \(\Delta L\) is negative.

  3. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    Strain has dimension of a length ratio, with SI base units of meter per meter (m/m). Hence strains are dimensionless and are usually expressed as a decimal fraction or a percentage.

    ε = strain - unit-less. E = Young's modulus (Modulus of Elasticity) (Pa, (N/m 2), psi (lb f /in 2)) Young's modulus can be used to predict the elongation or compression of an object when exposed to a force; Note that strain is a dimensionless unit since it is the ratio of two lengths.

    Tensile stress and strain occur when the forces are stretching an object, causing its elongation, and the length change Δ L Δ L is positive. Compressive stress and strain occur when the forces are contracting an object, causing its shortening, and the length change Δ L Δ L is negative.

    The equation for change in length is traditionally rearranged and written in the following form: \[\dfrac{F}{A} = Y \dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0}.\] The ratio of force to area, \(\frac{F}{A} \) is defined as stress (measured in \(N/m^2q\), and the ratio of the change in length to length, \(\frac{\Delta L}{L_0} \) is defined as strain (a unitless quantity).

  7. Mechanics of Materials: Strain - Boston University

    www.bu.edu/moss/mechanics-of-materials-strain

    Strain is a unitless measure of how much an object gets bigger or smaller from an applied load. Normal strain occurs when the elongation of an object is in response to a normal stress (i.e. perpendicular to a surface), and is denoted by the Greek letter epsilon. A positive value corresponds to a tensile strain, while negative is compressive.

    openstax.org/books/college-physics-2e/pages/5-3-elasticity-stress-and-strain

    We can describe the compression or volume deformation of an object with an equation. First, we note that a force “applied evenly” is defined to have the same stress, or ratio of force to area F A F A on all surfaces.

  9. 26.2: Stress and Strain in Tension and Compression

    phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Classical_Mechanics/Classical_Mechanics...

    The ratio of the amount the section has stretched to the original length is called the tensile strain, \begin{equation}\varepsilon_{T}=\frac{\delta l}{l_{0}}\end{equation} Experimentally, for sufficiently small stresses, for many materials the stress and strain are linearly proportional,

  10. Strain Definition in Physics: 1. The fractional change in configuration is called strain. 2. A strain is the response of a system to an applied stress. When a material is loaded with a force, it

    The strain is the measure of how much distortion has befallen on the body compared to its initial shape due to the action of the force. It is denoted by ϵ. Formula For Strain
