The elongation calculator will help you calculate the elongation of a material specimen under tension or compressive loads. Elongation is one of the fundamental concepts of material science as it relates to the length of an object before and after the loading condition. In simple terms, when you apply a load on any entity, its size changes. Depending on the type of load and material, it undergoes either elongation or compression.
Scientists and engineers study elongation for materials under different loading conditions to characterize their behavior. This data is helpful for designers during the process of material selection while designing components.
