STRSS:
• 
When a material is loaded with a force, it produces a stress.
“The internal force per unit area is called stress”.

stress =

The unit of stress are ).

• 
Normal(Tensile) stress:
 stress = perpendicular to material
 It is denoted by sigma “”.

 units

Shear stress:
Force parallel to cross section called shear force.
 stress = parallel to material
 It is denoted by tau “”.

 units =
Thus can resolve stresses into tensile and shear components of forces:
Tensile stress ()
Shear stress ()
STRAIN:
 
•Strain
is the relative change in the shape or size of an object due to externally
applied forces.
 Strain – result of stress
 Deformation divided by original dimension.
 It is denoted by “” .

=
 Unit less.
•   Normal strain:
• A normal stress will cause a normal strain.
• When the size of material change due to applied normal stress called Normal strain.
• =
• Unit less.

Shear strain:
• Shear strain is defined as the change in angle. 
• A shear stress will cause a shear strain.
• When the shape of material change due to applied shear stress called Shear strain.

• Unit less

  STRAIN:

It is also known as normal strain. It is also known as logarithmic strain.

= original length. = original length.

L= new length. L= new length.
