About Percent Strain (%)
Strain expressed as a percentage of the original length (ε × 100%). Percent strain is the default reporting unit for tensile test results — aluminum yield strain ~0.5%, steel yield ~0.2%, polymer fracture strain often 10–400%. Every tensile-test stress-strain curve in materials-science labs and textbooks uses percent on the horizontal axis.
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.
