strain rate

[/streɪn reɪt/]
nounpl: strain rates
taxa de deformação
1. The rate at which a material deforms or changes shape under stress, measured as the change in deformation per unit time
The polymer's behavior changes significantly at different strain rates.
O comportamento do polímero muda significativamente em diferentes taxas de deformação.
2. In materials science and mechanics, the time derivative of strain, typically expressed as a percentage per second or per second
High strain rates can cause materials to behave more rigidly than at low strain rates.
Altas taxas de deformação podem fazer os materiais se comportarem de forma mais rígida do que em baixas taxas de deformação.
This is primarily a technical and scientific term used in engineering, materials science, and physics education in both Brazil and the United States. It is essential terminology in industrial applications, manufacturing processes, and academic research. The term is standardized across Portuguese-speaking countries in technical contexts.
