Question
Explain the classification of longitudinal stress?
✓
Answer
Longitudinal stress can be classified into two types, tensile stress and compressive stress. Tensile stress: Internal forces on the two sides of ∆A may pull each other, i.e., it is stretched by equal and opposite forces. Then, the longitudinal stress is called tensile stress. Compressive stress: When forces acting on the two sides of ∆A push each other, ∆A is pushed by equal and opposite forces at the two ends. In this case, ∆A is said to be under compression. Then, the longitudinal stress is called compressive stress.
