  2. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    This type of stress may be called (simple) normal stress or uniaxial stress; specifically, (uniaxial, simple, etc.) tensile stress. [13] If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress σ {\displaystyle \sigma } change sign, and the stress is called compressive ...

  3. Cauchy stress tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_stress_tensor

    The maximum shear stress or maximum principal shear stress is equal to one-half the difference between the largest and smallest principal stresses, and acts on the plane that bisects the angle between the directions of the largest and smallest principal stresses, i.e. the plane of the maximum shear stress is oriented from the principal stress ...

  4. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    In two dimensions, the stress tensor at a given material point with respect to any two perpendicular directions is completely defined by only three stress components. For the particular coordinate system ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} these stress components are: the normal stresses σ x {\displaystyle \sigma _{x}} and σ y {\displaystyle ...

  5. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    The formula to calculate average shear stress τ or force per unit area is: [1] =, where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area.. The area involved corresponds to the material face parallel to the applied force vector, i.e., with surface normal vector perpendicular to the force.

  6. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    It is also used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [1] It is also equivalent to 10 barye (10 Ba) in the CGS system.

    Dimension Comments Amount of substance: n: The quantity proportional to the number of particles in a sample, with the Avogadro constant as the proportionality constant: mole (mol) N: extensive, scalar Length: l: The one-dimensional extent of an object metre (m) L: extensive: Time: t: The duration of an event: second (s) T: scalar, intensive ...

  8. Alternative stress measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_stress_measures

    The nominal stress = is the transpose of the first Piola–Kirchhoff stress (PK1 stress, also called engineering stress) and is defined via = = = or = = = This stress is unsymmetric and is a two-point tensor like the deformation gradient.

  9. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    l is the axial length of the cylinder. An alternative to hoop stress in describing circumferential stress is wall stress or wall tension (T), which usually is defined as the total circumferential force exerted along the entire radial thickness: [3] = Cylindrical coordinates
