Tensile, Compressive, Shear, and Torsional Stress
Stress, σ, is defined as the force divided by the initial surface area, σ=F/A o . This pulling stress is called tensile stress. Strain is what results from this stress. Strain, ε, is defined as the change in length divided by the original length, ε = Δ I / I o. Before we proceed further with stress and strain, let's define some other types ...
