Strain

By Hubbard L. Ron (La Fayette Ron)

Summary: Strain is the measure of stress on an object that causes deformation. It can be tensile or compressive and can cause changes in length or shape. Strain is calculated by dividing the change in length or shape by the original length or shape and is typically expressed as a decimal or percentage. Strain is an important concept in materials science and engineering, as it helps to understand how materials behave under different loads and can help in the design of stronger and more resilient structures.
