A uniform cylinder of length L is compressed to half of its original length. Calculate true strain and engineering strain for the cylinder.

A uniform cylinder of length L is compressed to half of its original length. Calculate true strain and engineering strain for the cylinder. Correct Answer Engineering strain = -0.5, True strain = -0.69

Initial length = L Final length = L/2 Engineering strain = /L = -1/2 = -0.5 True Strain = ln = ln(1/2)=-0.693.
