STRAIN

The ratio of change in configuration produced in the body to the original configuration is called strain.
Strain is of three types;

Longitudinal Strain  change in length per unit original length

Volume Strain  change in volume per unit original volume

Shearing Strain  when there is change of shape of  a body without change in its volume, the strain produced is called shearing strain and is defined as the angle through which  a plane perpendicular to the fixed surface of the cubical body gets turned under the effect of tangential force.
