  • and are constant regardless of the dimensions and load
  • However, stress varies with strain
  • For a given material, strength is a property of this material, but stress on a part made of this material depends on the dimensions and load applied on this part

Where are Force, Moment, Torsion, and Torque from this map?


30:37 Stress is the internal resistance of the material to the applied load


37:18 The choice of load to be applied on the material depends on the application (what you want to do with the material), which means designing for a certain Material Strength


45:43 The effect of the applied external load on the material is deformation, which is known as Strain


54:05 There are two types of Strain

  • The main strain is the one along the direction of the applied load (this is called Longitudinal Strain)
  • The strain perpendicular to the direction of the applied load is called Lateral Strain
  • Poisson’s Ratio recognizes that the ratio between the lateral and longitudinal strain is constant for a given material

  • Stress is still a general concept of internal resistance to the applied load, regardless of the type of that loading (force, torsion, moment)

  • Supports provide Reactions equal and opposite to applied load to maintain the body in equilibrium in spite of applied load
  • These reactions cause Stress in the material
  • Without these reactions, the load would translate or rotate the material instead of inducing stress in it or deforming it
