Define longitudinal strain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Longitudinal strain can be classified into two types :
(i) Tensile strain : If the length is increased from its natural length then it is known as tensile strain .
(ii) Compressive strain : If the length is decreased from its natural length then it is known as compressive strain.
