yes, in fact it can. There is a certain type of material that changes color according to pressure. If you take on and hold while your stressed, without knowing you will put pressure on it, causing to change color. Different colors indicate higher or lower levels of stress.

What are some facts about shearing stress?

in this stress the force acts parallel to the area on which the stress is measured. microscopically what takes place is that the material is made of several planes and during the shear stress the planes slip over each other like a pack of cards until finally failing.


How do you calculate the stress of a pair of pliers?

Stress in general is the internal distribution of force per unit area. With knowledge of the material of the pliers it could be calculated from the strain in the pliers, which can be directly measured using strain gauges.

What is incorrect about the sentence 'Che cosa ti crea stress'?

Che cosa ti crea dello stress or Che cosa ti crea della tensione may be another Italian equivalent of 'What creates stress for you'. The word 'stress' can't be measured in direct, tangible ways. It requires indirect measurements and personal comfort levels. In such a case, Italian uses the partitive construction. The English equivalent of the partitive is 'some'. In this example, 'dello' and 'della' mean 'of the' or 'some'.


What is a strain gage used for?

A strain gage is used to measure the strain, or local deformation, of an object. As the object deforms to stress, the gage also is deformed and its electrical resistance is changed. This change is then measured.


Is there a formula to calculate metal strength by thickness?

Yes - there are many different formulae but the relationship of hardness to tensile or yield strength is at best very approximate. There is a general increase in hardness with increasing strength for most metals - where hardness has been measured by an indentation method such as Brinell.

How youngs modulus is determined?

A standard specimen is loaded on a tensile test machine; load,P, is applied and measured with a load cell and strain, e, is measured with a strain gauge extensometer. In the linear region, load is divided by specimen area to get stress, s, and the modulus, E, is determined from Hooke's law, where E = s/e

The metric system is measured in what?

It depends on what you are measuring! Distance is measured in metres Time is measured in seconds Mass is measured in kilogrammes Volume is measured in litres Force is measured in newtons Energy is measured in joules Temperature is measured in kelvin Power is measured in watts Electromotive force is measured in volts Electric current is measured in amperes ...and so on


What is the difference between the stress concentration factor and stress intensity factor?

The stress concentration factor is a number that raises stress locally due to factors such as holes and change in cross section. In the latter case, the sharper the radius at he cross section change, the higher the stress concentration. Typically, these factors range from 1 to 3 and sometimes more. Stress intensity factor is a bit different; it is an inherent property of the material that is tested and defined for cracks or flaws. For cracks and flaws, the radius is very small, approaching zero for sharp corners, and stress concentration factors become very very high, approaching infinity. In this case we use the measured stress intensity factor and equations of fracture mechanics to calculate allowable stresses. It is often used for fatigue calculations for metals and for strength determination for brittle materials like glasses and ceramics.
