Show that total true strain is the sum of the true strains


A 200-mm-long strip of metal is stretched in two steps, first to 300mm and then to 400mm. Show that the total true strain is the sum of the true strains in each step; in other words, the true strains are additive. Show that, in the case of engineering strains, the strains cannot be added to obtain the total strain.
