Answer 2

hey mate

In continuum mechanics, lateral strain, also known as transverse strain, is defined as the ratio of the change in diameter of a circular bar of a material due to deformation in the longitudinal direction. ... It is a dimensionless quantity, as it is a ratio between two quantities of the same dimension.
