Stress : Force that produces strain on a physical body.
stress= F/A
Stress (N/m2)
F: Force (N)
A: Area (m2)
Stress (N/m2)
F: Force (N)
A: Area (m2)
Strain: Deformation of a physical body under the action of applied forces.
e= ΔL/L= L-L/L
e : strain
e : strain
L= Original length
Δ= change in length
Δ= change in length
Strain guage:
It is a device used to measure the strain of an object। the most common type of strain gauge consists of an insulating flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern.
