9. Strain
   Relative deformation of a material, for example, repair tissue. Motion at the fracture site in itself is not the important feature, but the resulting relative deformation, which is called strain (dL/L), of the healing tissues. As strain is a ratio (displacement of fragments divided by width of fract...

10. Strain
    Change per unit length in a linear dimension of a part or specimen, usually expressed in % Strain, as used with most mechanical tests, is based on original length of the specimen. True or natural strain is based on instantaneous length, and is equal to: ln X l lo , where l is instantaneous length an...

11. Strain
    When a structure or component is subjected to stress individual fibres or elements in the material either lengthen or shorten. Strain is a measure of how much these elements extend or contract, and is defined as the change in length divided by the original length of the element. Strains can be defin...

12. strain
    Strain is present in a molecular entity or transition structure if the energy is enhanced because of unfavourable bond lengths, bond angles, or dihedral angles ('torsional strain') relative to a standard. It is quantitatively defined as the standard enthalpy of a structure relative to a strainless s...
