Tensional stress typically produces normal faults, compressional stress typically produces reverse faults, and shear stress typically produces strike-slip faults.
Normal fault forms tension stress. It is a stress state wherein a body of material is being stretched or expanded.
Normal stress and shear stress
Stressor
Normal stress and shear stress are two types of stresses that act on a material under mechanical loading. Normal stress is a force applied perpendicular to the surface of the material, while shear stress is a force applied parallel to the surface. The relationship between normal stress and shear stress depends on the material's properties and the direction of the applied forces. In general, normal stress and shear stress can interact and affect each other, leading to complex mechanical behaviors in the material.
Normal stress acts perpendicular to the surface of a material, while shear stress acts parallel to the surface. Normal stress causes compression or tension, while shear stress causes sliding or deformation along the surface.
compression
Max normal stress theory is used for brittle materials.
Stress produces depression,anger, not understanding what is going on, and blaming yourself.
Normal stress acts perpendicular to the surface of a material, while shear stress acts parallel to the surface. Normal stress causes compression or tension, while shear stress causes deformation by sliding layers of material past each other.
