True Strain from Engineering Strain Calculator

Calculate True Strain



Formula

The formula to calculate True Strain (\(\epsilon_T\)) is:

\[ \epsilon_T = \ln(1 + \epsilon) \]

Where:

Definition

True strain is the instantaneous elongation per unit length.

Engineering strain is the ratio of change in length to its original length.

How to calculate True Strain from Engineering Strain

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \epsilon_T = \ln(1 + \epsilon) \]

Evaluating:

\[ \epsilon_T = \ln(1 + 0.01) \]

The True Strain is 0.0099503309.
