Tension stress tends to pull a material apart and acts normal to its cross section plane.

Shear stress tends to shear a material apart and acts in the plane of its cross section plane.

Crushing stress tends to push a material and acts normal to its cross section plane, in the opposite direction of tension. Crushing stresses are compressive stresses and could also be bearing stresses.

For a material laoded in pure tension, shear exists at 45 degrees along the cross section plane and is 1/2 the tensile value. For pure shear, tension exists 45 degrees along the cross section plane and is equal to the shear value.

Most all metals are stronger in tension than in shear, by a factor of about 1.7.

Some materials, like chalk or concrete, are stronger in shear than in tension. If loaded in shear, they will break intension 45 degrees along the cross section

What is the difference between shear stress and bearing stress?

Sear stress are forces applied in opposition, producing a shearing or tearing force. Bearing stress is a load placed in one direction, such as the weight of a building bearing on the foundation.


What is the difference between tensile stress and breaking stress?

tensile stress is due to just the tension in the load whereas breaking stress can be due to breaking,shearing or compression!

What is the difference between Crushing strength and compressive strength?

Crushing strength refers to the maximum force a material can withstand before failing under compressive loads, while compressive strength is the maximum compressive stress a material can withstand before failing. Essentially, crushing strength is more related to the actual force applied, while compressive strength is more related to stress levels within the material.

What type of fault is produced from shearing?

The deformation of a material so that its layers move laterally over each other. In geology, shearing bends, twists, and draws out rocks along a fault or thrust plane. Such shearing is sometimes accompanied by shattering or crushing of the rock near the fault. A shearing force acts parallel to a plane rather than perpendicularly. Shear stress is the force or forces applied tangentially to the surface of a body and causing bending, twisting, or drawing out of that body.
