   Stress
   In the science called rheology (the study of how materials flow and deform), stress is the force applied to a material and strain is the resulting movement of the material. A simple practical exercise is to measure the length of a rubber band 'at rest', then suspend an object of known weight from it (stress) and measure the change in its length (strain). Try adding bigger and bigger weights, and you may discover something originally discovered by Sir Isaac Newton.

    Stress
    Load on a specimen divided by the area through which it acts. As used with most mechanical tests, stress is based on original cross-sectional area without taking into account changes in area due to applied load. This sometimes is called conventional or engineering stress. True Stress is equal to the load divided by the instantaneous cross-sectional area through which it acts.

    stress
    The intensity of the internally distributed forces or components of forces that resist a change in the volume or shape of a material that is or has been subjected to external forces. Stress is expressed in force per unit area and is calculated on the basis of the original dimensions of the cross section of the specimen. Stress can be either direct ...

    Stress
    The product of the load on a body divided by the area subjected to load, originally expressed in foot-pounds per square inch. A body is in tension when the force tends to pull it apart. It is in compression when the force tends to squeeze the body together. The change in shape caused by tension or compression is called strain. Stress divided by str...

    Stress
    The force per unit area on body that tends to cause it to deform. It is a measure of the internal forces in a body between particles of the material of which it consists as they resist separation, compression, or sliding.

    Stress
    Physics has a strict definition of 'a force per unit area' and producing 'strain' in the body to which the force is applied. Biology has a wide variety of meanings, e.g. any condition that results in reduced growth, any condition that prevents an organism from realizing its 'genetic potential'. The word is often redundant, e.g. the effects of droug ...
