Mechanical Stress

Stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other.

Machanical stress equals force divided by area.

Formula

QuantityVariable["σ", "Stress"] == QuantityVariable["F", "Force"]/QuantityVariable["A", "Area"]

symbol description physical quantity
σ mechanical stress "Stress"
A area "Area"
F force "Force"
