    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Tina,
it strongly depends on the context. In uniaxial test, it is simply
strain = enlargement / original length
stress = force / area

There is more general formula to calculate stress, see [1,2]

In the case of three point bending, why do you need stress-strain?
Wouldn't force-displacement be enough? Probably you could
measure/compute stress-strain locally, but it is IMO not very meaningful
in the DEM case..

cheers
Jan
