1 ε = 1 mm/mm
Worked Example
Convert 25 Millimeters per Millimeter to Unitless Strain: 25 mm/mm = 25 ε
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.
About Unitless Strain (ε)
Dimensionless engineering strain (Greek letter epsilon) — the ratio of deformation to original length. Strain is fundamentally unitless, but reporting it requires picking a scale (unitless ratio, percent, or microstrain). Unitless strain is the form used in Hooke's law (σ = Eε) and most theoretical mechanics. A typical metal yields at a strain of about 0.002; an elastomer can exceed 1.0 (100% elongation).
