What is Stress?

Stress Formula

Stress in physics is defined as the force we apply to an object divided by the cross-section area of the object on which the force acts....

Units of Stress

The formula to calculate the stress acting on a body is,...

Types of Stress

There are various units in which stress is measured. Some of the most common units of stress are listed in the table below:...

Normal Stress

In physics, there are many different types of stress, but the most common are Normal Stress and Tangential or Shearing Stress. In the following paragraphs, we’ll go through a few different sorts of stress....

Longitudinal Stress

The normal force is the stress that arises when an axial force is applied to a component. In other words, when the stress imparted to the body is perpendicular. When the object’s length and volume are altered, the object’s stress level returns to normal. The symbol is represented by it. Normal stress is measured in millipascals (MPa) in the SI system....

Bulk Stress

Longitudinal stress is defined as when the length of the body changes due to normal stress....

Shearing Stress

Volume stress is also known as Bulk Stress. The term “volume stress” refers to stress that causes the body’s volume to fluctuate. Normal stress causes a change in length or volume, while tangential stress causes a change in the shape of the body, which is referred to as volume stress. When a body is submerged in a liquid and is under the force of pressure p, the body encounters a force that is perpendicular to the body’s surface....

Hydraulic Stress

A force applied tangentially across the plane’s surface area is known as shearing stress. When the forces operating on the surface are parallel to it and the stress acting on the surface traces a tangent, the surface is said to be tangent. Shearing stress is the term for this type of anxiety....

Real-Life Example of Stress

The internal force per unit area acting on liquids is referred to as hydraulic stress. When a force is applied to the body by a fluid, hydraulic stress is the restoring force per unit area. Stress differs from pressure in that it considers the internal force per unit area rather than the outward force per unit area. Hydraulic stress is characterized in a similar way in the case of liquids....

Stress and Strain

Various examples in which the concept of stress is applied in our daily life are,...

Hooke’s Law

Stress is the defined as the restoring force acting on an object and strain is the change in the dimension of object with respect to the original dimension. We can say that stress is the cause and strain is the effect. The formula for strain is given as follows...

Examples on Stress Formula

Hooke’s Law states that within elastic limit of a material, the strain resulted in the material is directly proportional to the stress applied. In this limit, the graph between stress and strain is linear in nature and from the yield point the nature of the graph changes. The mathematical expression for Hooke’s Law is given as...
