How to Evaluate Total Strain?

Total Strain evaluator uses Total Strain = Instantaneous Strain+Creep Strain to evaluate the Total Strain, The Total Strain is defined as the addition of both instantaneous and creep strain. Instantaneous strain is caused immediately after the application of stress. Creep strain is caused due to the long lasting or sustained loads. Total Strain is denoted by δt symbol.

How to evaluate Total Strain using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Total Strain, enter Instantaneous Strain i) & Creep Strain c) and hit the calculate button.
