Lateral Strain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lateral Strain = Change in Diameter/Original Diameter
Sd = ∆d/d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Lateral Strain - Lateral Strain is ratio of change in diameter to original diameter.
Change in Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - The Change in Diameter is the difference between the initial and final diameter.
Original Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - The Original Diameter is the initial diameter of material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Change in Diameter: 120 Millimeter --> 0.12 Meter (Check conversion here)
Original Diameter: 2000 Millimeter --> 2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Sd = ∆d/d --> 0.12/2

Evaluating ... ...

Sd = 0.06

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.06 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.06 <-- Lateral Strain

What is Lateral Strain?

Lateral Strain is the deformation that occurs perpendicular to the direction of an applied load on a material. When a material is subjected to axial stress (either tensile or compressive), it not only deforms along the direction of the load (longitudinal strain) but also experiences deformation in the perpendicular (lateral) directions.

How to Calculate Lateral Strain?

Lateral Strain calculator uses Lateral Strain = Change in Diameter/Original Diameter to calculate the Lateral Strain, The Lateral Strain formula is defined as the measure of the ratio of change in diameter to the original diameter. Lateral Strain is denoted by Sd symbol.

How to calculate Lateral Strain using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Lateral Strain, enter Change in Diameter (∆d) & Original Diameter (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Lateral Strain calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.02525 = 0.12/2.

FAQ

What is Lateral Strain?
