Definition of microstrain:

(n) : (physics) A strain expressed in terms of parts per million
(n) : (materials science) The root mean square of the variations in the lattice parameters across the individual crystallites, usually across microscopic distances, <ϵ²>^(1/2). By definition, it cannot be negative. In contrast, macrostrain refers to the overall change in the lattice parameters caused by a composition change or temperature change or pressure change.
