Lecture brief

Historical brief

Hooke (1678), Hall–Petch grain size, Arrhenius activation and Paris fatigue-crack growth are the spine of materials selection. The sheets relate stress, microstructure and life. This sheet (MAT-39 — True strain) is the form associated with True strain. Working symbols: $eps$ $\rightarrow$ $et$ . Logarithmic strain. Pedagogical SI sheet with a live model and a swept parameter.

Purpose

Purpose: compute

et

from

eps

in Materials via

\varepsilon_t=\ln(1+\varepsilon)

Logarithmic strain. Use it when a real materials question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

eps = 0.200\,\mathrm{—}

, the governing relation

\varepsilon_t=\ln(1+\varepsilon)

yields

et = 0.182\,\mathrm{—}

. One governing identity, SI units, a single sweep on the sheet. Move a slider: the numbers are this situation, not a canned story.
