ENGINEERING MECHANIC - EXAMPLE 15.1 : What is the meaning – strain? In a distillation column, if a block 10 cm on a side is deformed so that it becomes 9 cm long, what is the strain involved in percentage?
Answer Posted / kangchuentat
ENGINEERING MECHANIC - ANSWER 15.1 : Strain is defined as the amount of deformation an object experiences compared to its original size and shape. Calculation of strain = (original length – final length) / (original length) = (10 – 9) / 10 = 0.1 or 0.1 x 100 % = 10 %.
