the specimen’s length. A short specimen elongates proportionately more during the
same period than does a long specimen. For example, let’s take two rubber bands,
one 20 mm and the other 100 mm long, respectively, and elongate them both by 10
mm within a period of 1 second. The engineering strain in the shorter specimen is
% = 0.5; that in the longer is % = 0.1. Thus, the strain rates are 0.5 ST1 and 0.1 s`1,
respectively, with the short band being subjected to a strain rate five times higher than
that for the long band, although they are both being stretched at the same deforma-
tion rate.
Deformation rates typically employed in various testing and metalworking
processes, and the true strains involved, are given in Table 2.4. Because of the wide
range encountered in practice, strain rates are usually
stated in terms of orders of magnitude, such as 102 s`l, Room 30°C
104 ST1, and so on. 200 _iempelamre
