| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| True strain | epsilon_t = ln( L / L_0 ), accumulated over the instantaneous length | Timoshenko SP, Gere JM, Mechanics of Materials |
| Relation to engineering strain | epsilon_t = ln( 1 + epsilon_e ), where epsilon_e is the engineering strain | Timoshenko SP, Gere JM, Mechanics of Materials |
| Difference at large strain | The two diverge increasingly as deformation grows | Timoshenko SP, Gere JM, Mechanics of Materials |
| Constant-volume condition | Under the constant-volume assumption in plasticity, the sum of true strains is zero | Timoshenko SP, Gere JM, Mechanics of Materials |
