Stress

Stress refers to the load that a material or structure must withstand in order to perform its function. This stress can come from a variety of sources, such as tensile, compressive or shear forces, temperature fluctuations or moisture.

Stress is an important factor in fields such as mechanical engineering, design engineering and engineering science, as it directly affects the performance and durability of materials and structures. It is therefore important to carefully consider the stresses to which materials and structures will be subjected during design and operation.

An example of the importance of stress is the use of adhesives. Adhesives must be able to withstand the stresses to which they are subjected in order to ensure a secure and durable bond. Engineers must therefore carefully consider the stresses to which the joint will be subjected when selecting the appropriate adhesive and during application.

Overall, stress is an important factor in the design and operation of materials and structures and must be carefully considered to achieve optimum results.
