If stress is applied to a body then the ratio of change in volume to original volume will be:
Correct answer: B. Volumetric strain
- A. Polymeric strain
- B. Volumetric strain
- C. Parallel strain
- D. Tensile strain
Explanation
The ratio of the change of volume of the body to the original volume is known as volumetric strain. The strain produced by shear stress is known as shear strain. The stress may be normal stress or shear stress.
