Strain Rate Conversion Formulas
Per Second to Per Minute
min⁻¹ = s⁻¹ × 60
Example: 0.01 s⁻¹ = 0.01 × 60 = 0.6 min⁻¹
Per Minute to Per Hour
hr⁻¹ = min⁻¹ × 60
Example: 5 min⁻¹ = 5 × 60 = 300 hr⁻¹
Strain Rate Definition
ε̇ = dε/dt
Rate of change of strain with respect to time
Engineering Strain Rate
ε̇ₑ = (1/L₀) × (dL/dt)
Where L₀ = original length, dL/dt = rate of length change
