Axial deformation is the change in length of an object when subjected to axial stress. It is calculated by multiplying the original axial length by the axial strain.
The formula to calculate axial deformation is:
\[ \text{AD} = \epsilon \times L \]
Where:
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{AD} = 0.02 \times 10 = 0.2 \text{ inches} \]
The axial deformation is 0.2 inches.
