What is the difference between engineering strain and true strain?

Without getting into all the math, the engineering strain utilizes the initial length of the specimen in the calculation, the true strain utilizes the instantaneous length of the specimen.Getting into the math:strain engineering = change in L / original Ltrue strain = ln(1+strain engineering)Engineering strain is the change in length divided by the original length, so that a 1 inch part strained 50% or .5 in/in would become 1.5 in or if strained -50% or -.5 in/in would become .5 inches. But these two strains are not the same amount of deformation since as a material is stretched further the change in length is distributed over a longer length for positive values and over a smaller length for larger values. Consider progressing from the now 1.5 in. (50%) strained part and continuing to 100% and the .5 in. (-50%) strained part and continuing to -100%. The next change in length is distributed over 1.5 in. and .5 inches respectively despite this the equation considers this change relative to the same original length of 1 inch. True strain is the change in length divided by the instantaneous length integrated from the original length to the instantaneous length. This resolves to the equation above.


Why does a longer beam length mean greater deflection?

Deflection of beam depends upon load and length of beam. Larger the beam, larger will be it's selfweight


An uniformly distributed load is one which?

A uniformly distributed load is one which the load is spread evenly across the full length of the beam (i.e. there is equal loading per unit length of the beam).
