Engineering strain of a mild steel sample is recorded as

Home » Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering » Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering Miscellaneous » Question

Engineering strain of a mild steel sample is recorded as 0.100%. The true strain is

1. 0.010%
2. 0.055%
3. 0.099%
4. 0.101%

Correct Option: C

Engg. strain ε =	0.1
	100

True strain ε_T = ln(1 + ε)

= In		1 +	0.1
			100

= 0.0009995
ε_T in % = 0.0995%
