Axial Deformation Calculator

Axial deformation is calculated using Hooke’s Law, which relates stress ($\sigma$) to strain ($\epsilon$) for elastic deformation. The formula for axial deformation is given by:

​

where:

• δaxial​ = Axial deformation (in meters, m)
• $F$ = Applied axial force or load (in newtons, N)
• $L$ = Original length of the structural member (in meters, m)
• $A$ = Cross-sectional area of the structural member (in square meters, m²)
• $E$ = Modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus of the material (in pascals, Pa or N/m²)
