Stress is not a force but force divided by area. If high enough, it will cause itself to break

How do Calculate engineering fracture stress?

stress= force/C.S.A. so fracture stress = force at fracture / Cross.Sectional.Area.


Why shear stresses are maximum at neutral axis?

according to bending stress because shear stress at neutral is 0 that is why shear force is maximum


What is the difference between force and stress?

Force = Mass x Acceleration Stress = Force / Cross Sectional Area


The amount of stress or force an object can take?

The amount of stress or force that an object can take.


are Stress is equal to the force divided by area?

Stress is defined as force per unit area. It is the measure of the internal resistance of a material to deformation under a load. The formula for stress is Stress = Force / Area.


How do you find out stress from force?

stress is force divided by area. If you have a force of 10 acting over area 1 stress is 10 ; if area is 2 stress is 5, etc. Force has units of pounds or newtons and stress is pounds per square inch or newtons per square meter

What is the science definition of stress force?

Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA


What are definition of these terms stress normal stress shear stress and pressure?

Normal stress is a force acting perpendicular to a surface, shear stress is a force acting parallel to a surface causing deformation, and pressure is a measure of force applied over a certain area.


What is stress in phonetics?

Stress is the degree of force which is accompanied by a strong force of exhalation and gives an impression of loudness


Why the units of stress and pressure are same?

Stress and pressure have the same units (force per unit area, such as N/m^2 or Pa) because they both represent the force distributed over a given area. In other words, pressure is a type of stress that acts uniformly over a surface area. It is this commonality in their definition and physical nature that results in the same units for stress and pressure.
