percent strain
Strainexact by definition
Strain expressed as a percentage: 0.002 strain is 0.2%. Used where deformations are large enough for the ratio to be awkward — elongation at break for a ductile metal runs 20 to 40%, and for an elastomer several hundred.
Watch out: Percent elongation from a tensile test is measured over a stated GAUGE LENGTH and is not a material constant. The same steel reports different elongation on a 50 mm gauge than on a 200 mm one, because necking is local while the gauge length is not, so a figure quoted without its gauge length cannot be compared with another.
