Stress can be defined as ________ quantity. |
|
Answer» Stress is defined as RESISTING force per unit area of an element, on which load is applied. Stress is always perpendicular to a cross-section in the element. It is neither scalar (it cannot be numerically added), nor is it a vector (it does not follow the TRIANGLE rule of vector addition). It is a tensor quantity because it DESCRIBES things happening in two directions simultaneously. |
