There are 6 vectors used to describe the strain field of an element. An equivalent strain is just a single numerical value used to represent the strain field.

Can stress exists without strain and vice versa. eg a heated bar held rigidly at both ends has no strain but there is stress?

Wherever there is stress there is strain. In the example you noted, if heated bar expands freely without one end constained it changes its strain without stress; that strain is called eigenstrain. If the same bar is held rigidly then the eigenstrain resisted and you get stress and strain. So stress cannot exist without strain; but strain can exist without stress if it is eigenstrain.


What is the relationship between engineering strain and percent elongation?

strain is percent elongation/100; for example a strain of 0.02 is 2% elongation. Often we refer to elongation at failure; for example if a material fails at 10% elongation its strain is 0.10


What is strain and stress?

stress is load per unit area; when an object is loaded it is under stress and strain and it stretches (strains) until it breaks at its ultimate strength. Stress i srelated to strain in the elastic region by Hooke's law: stress = elastic modulus times strain where modulus is a property of the material and strain is deflection over length


Strain energy definitions?

Strain energy is a form of potential energy. Work done to distort an elastic member is stored as strain energy. Some energy may be lost in plastic deformation of the member and some may be converted into heat instead of stored as strain energy, but the rest is recoverable. A spring is an example of a storage device for strain energy.
