We almost always use engineering stress as that is the number reported in strength tests.
nominal stress is the engineering stress, which is the force divided by the original Area. true stress is the force divided by the area of the deformed specimen as it deforms. Since the area of the deformed specimen is usually smaller than the original area true stress is higher than the nominal stress... Ali D
I'm assuming you mean the difference between true stress and engineering stress: Engineering stress is only accounting for the area given at the time before deformation. True stress accounts for the change in area that occurs as the material is stressed. If you stay in the elastic region, there will be almost no difference between the two.
see the following questionWhat_the_difference_between_true_strain_and_engineering_strain
The difference between true stress & engineering stress is summarised as follows: Engineering stress assumes that the area a force is acting upon remains constant, true stress takes into account the variation in the cross sectional area as a result of the stress induced deformation (strain) of a material. For example a steel bar in tension once its yield point or stress is reached will start to "neck". Necking is the localized concentration of strain in a small region of the material, causing a reduction in cross sectional area at this point. To calculate the engineering stress in the above case, the applied load is divided by the original cross sectional area, however the true stress would be equal to the load divided by the new deformed cross sectional area. Therefore true stress is likely to be significantly higher than engineering stress. Note that while the material is deforming elastically before the yield point is reached there will be some difference between true and engineering stress (as the material is changing shape) but it will be much smaller than the difference after the yield point is reached. A rock core in a uni-axial compression test will typically expand radially under loading. Therefore in this case, the engineering stress (based on the original diameter) will be larger than the true stress within the material.
It is absolutely not true.
true
True: Stressors is any agent that causes stress to an organism
True.
true
Fracture stress is only less than ultimate tensile strength in an engineering stress-strain diagram. This is because the material will experience a maximum stress before it undergoes necking. After necking, stress will decrease again until the material snaps.
which is not true of the “general stress syndrome”
That is true.
