WebJul 20, 2022 · σT = F⊥ A (26.2.1) (26.2.1) σ T = F ⊥ A. The ratio of the amount the section has stretched to the original length is called the tensile strain, εT = δl l0 (26.2.2) (26.2.2) ε T = δ l l 0. Experimentally, for sufficiently small stresses, for many materials the stress and strain are linearly proportional,
