Looking for a Tutorial on Stress and Strain and couldn't find it >.< Please help
Stress and strain are terms used in material science to describe the internal forces and deformations that occur in a material when it is subjected to external forces.
Stress and strain are directly related, with stress being the force per unit area applied to a material and strain being the resulting deformation or change in shape of the material.
The different types of stress include tensile, compressive, and shear stress. Strain can be categorized as either elastic or plastic, depending on whether the material returns to its original shape after the external force is removed.
The type of material, its shape and size, and the magnitude and direction of the external force all affect the stress and strain experienced by a material. Additionally, the temperature, duration of the force, and any pre-existing flaws or defects in the material can also impact stress and strain.
Understanding stress and strain is crucial for designing and analyzing structures and materials, as well as predicting their behavior under different conditions. It is also important in fields such as engineering, physics, and geology, where materials and structures are constantly under stress and strain.
