Volumetric strain: Volumetric strain is defined as the ratio of change in volume to original volume.

Volumetric strain: Volumetric strain is defined as the ratio of change in volume to original volume.

$$ e v=\frac{\delta v}{V} \quad \text { Where: } \delta v=\text { Change in volume, } V=\text { Original volume } $$

Relation between lateral strain and linear strain:

Lateral Strain = $\mu \times Linear Strain$

Where, $\mu$ is Poisson's ratio
