📏 Elongation Calculator
Calculate elongation, strain, and deformation of materials under tensile loading
📐 Elongation Formulas
ε = ΔL/L₀ = (L - L₀)/L₀
ΔL = FL/(EA)
ε = σ/E
% Elongation = (ΔL/L₀) × 100
ε = strain, ΔL = elongation, L₀ = original length, L = final length, F = force, E = Young's modulus, A = area
💡 Tips
- Strain is dimensionless and represents relative deformation
- Elastic deformation is reversible when load is removed
- Plastic deformation is permanent and occurs beyond yield point
- Typical engineering strains are less than 0.1 (10%)
- For small strains, engineering and true strain are approximately equal
- Measure elongation in the direction of applied force
