TYPES OF STRESS

TYPES OF STRESS

There are two types of stress in solid mechanics.

• Normal stress: Which acts to the perpendicular to the area.

                  - Tensile stress: When body is subjected to equal and opposite pulls.

                  - Compressive stress: When body is subjected to equal and opposite pushes.

• Shear stress: When body is subjected to equal and opposite forces which are acts as tangentially across the resistance section.
