Longitudinal Strain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Original Length
ε_longitudinal = ΔL/L₀
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Longitudinal Strain - The Longitudinal Strain is ratio of change in length to original length.
Change in Length of Component - (Measured in Meter) - Change in Length of Component is after the application of force, change in the dimensions of the object.
Original Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Original Length refers to the material refers to its initial size or dimension before any external forces are applied.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Change in Length of Component: 1100 Millimeter --> 1.1 Meter (Check conversion here)
Original Length: 5000 Millimeter --> 5 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ε_longitudinal = ΔL/L₀ --> 1.1/5

Evaluating ... ...

ε_longitudinal = 0.22

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.22 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.22 <-- Longitudinal Strain

What is Longitudinal strain?

when a body is subjected to an axial tensile load there is an increase in length of the body, the ratio of axial deformation to the original length of the body is known as longitudinal strain.

How to Calculate Longitudinal Strain?

Longitudinal Strain calculator uses Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Original Length to calculate the Longitudinal Strain, The Longitudinal strain is defined as a change in the length to the original length of an object. It is caused due to longitudinal stress. Longitudinal Strain is denoted by ε_longitudinal symbol.

How to calculate Longitudinal Strain using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Longitudinal Strain, enter Change in Length of Component (ΔL) & Original Length (L₀) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Longitudinal Strain calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.22 = 1.1/5.

FAQ

What is Longitudinal Strain?

The Longitudinal strain is defined as a change in the length to the original length of an object. It is caused due to longitudinal stress and is represented as ε_longitudinal = ΔL/L₀ or Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Original Length. Change in Length of Component is after the application of force, change in the dimensions of the object & The Original Length refers to the material refers to its initial size or dimension before any external forces are applied.

How to calculate Longitudinal Strain?

The Longitudinal strain is defined as a change in the length to the original length of an object. It is caused due to longitudinal stress is calculated using Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Original Length. To calculate Longitudinal Strain, you need Change in Length of Component (ΔL) & Original Length (L₀).
