Stress and Strain

Stress and Strain

Introduction : The mechanical properties of any solid depends upon important factor that is stress and strain. Let us discuss this stress and strain in details.

Stress is defined as ratio of restoring force per unit cross section area.

There are three types of stress 

1) Longitudinal stress :  When the force applied produces change in length of the body, the stress associated is called as longitudinal stress.

Volume Stress : When the force applied produces change in volume of the body, the stress associated is called as volume stress.

Shearing stress : When the force applied produces change in shape of the body, the stress associated is called as shearing stress.
