Strain-Transformation equations are based on the geometry of the deformation of deformable bodies(including some small-angle approximations). External strain , or normal strain, is defined as a ratio of a total elongation to an original length .

Shear strain is defined as a change in angle between two originally perpendicular line segments that intersect at a point. When , angle the sheared line makes with its original orientation, equals 90 degrees, the shear strain is infinte.

Like the stress-transformation equations, the strain-transformation equations can be simplified bu introducing the double-angle trigonometric identities. This yields

Therefore
