About Microstrain (με)

Strain in units of 10⁻⁶ (parts per million). Microstrain is the working unit of strain-gauge measurements in structural health monitoring, fatigue testing, and rosette gauges on bridges and aircraft. A typical bridge under traffic might experience a few hundred microstrain; a fighter-jet airframe wing-flex test can reach thousands. Strain-gauge instrumentation outputs are almost always displayed and logged in microstrain.

About Millimeter per Millimeter (mm/mm)

Strain expressed as millimeters of deformation per millimeter of original length. Numerically identical to unitless strain, but the explicit mm/mm notation clarifies that the quantity is a length ratio, which is common on metric-edition engineering drawings and material property sheets.
