When applied stress changes the volume, the change in volume per unit volume is known as:
Correct answer: C. Volumetric strain
- A. Polymetric strain
- B. Crystalline strain
- C. Volumetric strain
- D. Equal strain
Explanation
The change in volume per unit volume is known as volumetric strain. It is a measure of how much the volume of a material changes in response to an applied stress. The volumetric strain is calculated as the change in volume divided by the original volume.
