2. There are two types of strain: Deformations that are applied perpendicular to the
cross section are normal strains, while deformations applied parallel to the cross
section are shear strains. However according to the internet strain have different types
that can occur in materials like tensile strain, shear strain, thermal and compressive
strain.
4. Strain is a measure of the change in shape or size of an object relative to its original
shape or size. For example, the change in length of a spring, ΔL relative to the original
length of the spring, L describes the strain of the spring, ϵ=ΔL/L.
