Stress is the internal distribution of forces within a body that balance and react to the loads applied to it. Simplifying assumptions are often used to represent stress as a vector for engineering calculations.



The stress in an axially loaded bar is equal to the applied force divided by the bar's area. See also, pressure (physics). Stresses in a 2-D or 3-D solid are more complex and need be defined more rigorously. The internal force acting on a small area dA of a plane which passes a point P can be resolved into three components: one normal to the plane and two parallel to the plane. The normal component divided by dA gives the normal stress, and parallel components divided by the area dA give the shear stress. These stresses are average stresses as the area dA is finite, but when the area dA is allowed to approach zero, the stresses become stresses at the point P. In general, the stress may vary from point to point, but for simple cases, such as circular cylinders with pure axial loading, the stress normal to the cross-section is constant.



Since stresses are defined in relation to the plane that passes through the point under consideration, and the number of such planes is infinite, there appear an infinite set of stresses at a point P. It can be proven by equilibrium that the stresses on any plane can be computed from the stresses on three orthogonal planes passing through the point -- The three planes are normally chosen to be the x-, y- and z-planes. As each plane has three stresses, the stress tensor has 9 stress components, which completely describe the state of stress at a point. By using Mohr's circle method or stress tensor transformation, the stresses on an arbitrary plane through P can be computed from the stress tensor at P.



Stress can occur in liquids, gases and solids. Liquids and gasses support normal stress, but flow under shear stress. Solids: Brittle materials failing under normal stress and plastic or ductile materials failing under shear stress.

Could have just linked to it Rindercella.



I'd be excited too I guess, if my words were quoted all over the internet.

Were you actually, honestly under the impression that there was ANYONE in this thread who did not already know that that saying was a common aphorism?



Because if you did, I have some amazing low calorie chocolate to sell you.

I'm bookmarking this thread just in case one day in the distant future Rindercella is an extremely popular Gabber of Trae-like proportions, then I can bump the thread and reveal her dirty little secret.

The only way she can ever become popular is if Hammerhead went on a rampage, tracked down and killed every other member of Zug.



She'd be spared because he doesn't give a Shakespeare about her.

tryin to cut down on my caffeine consumption

so when i get up i just have one cup of coffee

and id like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast

and on the way to work i like to get a cup of coffee

i like the kind of cup of coffee you get with youre donuts

but i never get the donut i just have the cup of coffee

and when i get to work i have a cup of coffee

cause i like a cup of coffee when im talking on the phone

but it usually gets cold and i need to get another cup of coffee

and its lunch and i have an espresso



and when i get back its not morning anymore so i have

a diet cola and another diet cola

and by then im feelin fine im feelin pretty sharp

and feelin pretty wired and im gettin things done

but right about 2 i get this little tiny micronim

stuck behind my eyes and it moves to the back of my neck

and it moves to the bottom of my spine

but it doesnt get there til 5 or 6 o clock

which is the end of the day so im fine so im fine so im fine

except when i have to work late when i have to work late

which i usually do
