Lateral Strain Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Lateral Strain is:

\[ Sd = \frac{\Delta d}{d} \]

Where:

\(Sd\) is the lateral strain
\(\Delta d\) is the change in diameter (m)
\(d\) is the original diameter (m)

Definition

Lateral Strain is the ratio of the change in diameter to the original diameter.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Change in Diameter (Δd) = 0.0505 m
Original Diameter (d) = 2 m

Using the formula:

\[ Sd = \frac{\Delta d}{d} \]

Evaluating:

\[ Sd = \frac{0.0505}{2} \]

The Lateral Strain is 0.02525.
