SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the distinction between lateral and axial strains in materials under stress. Axial strain occurs along the direction of the applied load, while lateral strain occurs in the orthogonal direction to the load. This fundamental difference is crucial for understanding material behavior under different loading conditions.
