Force can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components using vector analysis. However stress cannot be resolved into horizontal and vertical components using vector analysis since it is not a vector but a tensor of second order.

How is trigonometry helpful in the field of construction?

In construction, Trigonometry is used to show how stress and force are directed along supports which are not vertical or horizontal. It is alos used to find the lengths of such components of a building, as well as the angles between parts.


How is the orientation of foliation related to stress?

The foliation in metamorphic minerals is always perpendicular to the direction of pressure. E.g. Vertical pressure is applied, the foliation will be horizontal, and vice-versa, the pressure is horizontal you get vertical foliation. From yahoo answers


What is the relationship between resolved shear stress and critical resolved shear stress in materials science?

In materials science, the relationship between resolved shear stress and critical resolved shear stress is that the critical resolved shear stress is the minimum amount of shear stress needed to cause dislocation movement in a material. Resolved shear stress is the component of an applied stress that acts in the direction of dislocation movement. When the resolved shear stress exceeds the critical resolved shear stress, dislocations can move and deformation occurs in the material.


Concept of pressure bulb for laying the foundation?

A stress line below the ground surface which connects all the points at which vertical stress is equal is called an isobar. it is a curved surface which resembles as bulb , due to the vertical pressure at all the points below the ground surface in the horizontal planeIMPORTANCE:*there are used to deter mine the effect of load on vertical stress at different points .

Is stress is scalar quantity or vector quantity?

Stress is tensor quantity. The stress tensor has 9 components. Each of its components has a magnitude (a scalar) and two directions associated with it.

What stress causes a fault?

In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.


Why the stress value is taken on y axis not on x axis as it is the cause and strain is effect so why not it is taken on x axis and strain on y axis?

in any graph on horizontal axis we keep the independent variable and on vertical axis the dependent variable. similarly in stress strain diagram the strain is independent variable and stress is dependent variable so due to this reason strain is kept on x-axis and stress is kept on y-axis.


What is the schmid factor?

The Schmid factor m is part of the equation for the critical resolved shear stress τ0. The critical resolved shear stress is the component of shear stress in a slip plane, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain (plastic deformation in metals). m = cos(κ)cos(λ) ; τ0 = mσ κ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip plane normal. λ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip direction. σ - the applied stress or load
