Longitudinal Strain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Initial Length
εlongitudinal = 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.
Initial Length - (Measured in Meter) - Initial Length before the application of load.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Change in Length of Component: 1100 Millimeter --> 1.1 Meter (Check conversion here)
Initial Length: 5000 Millimeter --> 5 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
εlongitudinal = ΔL/l0 --> 1.1/5
Evaluating ... ...
εlongitudinal = 0.22
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.22 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.22 <-- Longitudinal Strain

Longitudinal Strain Formula

Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Initial Length
εlongitudinal = ΔL/l0

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/Initial 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 εlongitudinal 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) & Initial 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 εlongitudinal = ΔL/l0 or Longitudinal Strain = Change in Length of Component/Initial Length. Change in Length of Component is after the application of force, change in the dimensions of the object & Initial Length before the application of load.
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/Initial Length. To calculate Longitudinal Strain, you need Change in Length of Component (ΔL) & Initial Length (l0). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Change in Length of Component & Initial Length and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
