How This Is Calculated


$$ {\epsilon}_v = \frac{\Delta V}{V_0} $$ where:

εv   =   Volumetric Strain   (Dimensionless)

Δ V   =   Change in Volume   (m³)

V0   =   Original Volume   (m³)


Assumptions


  • The material behaves in a linarlly elastic manner.
  • The material is isotropic.
  • The material is homogeneous.
  • The deformations are small.
