  2. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    A. A shearing force is applied to the top of the rectangle while the bottom is held in place. The resulting shear stress, τ, deforms the rectangle into a parallelogram. The area involved would be the top of the parallelogram. Shear stress (often denoted by τ ( Greek: tau )) is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section.

  3. Stress (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(linguistics)

    In linguistics, and particularly phonology, stress or accent is the relative emphasis or prominence given to a certain syllable in a word or to a certain word in a phrase or sentence. That emphasis is typically caused by such properties as increased loudness and vowel length, full articulation of the vowel, and changes in tone.

  4. Thermal stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_stress

    Thermal stress. In mechanics and thermodynamics, thermal stress is mechanical stress created by any change in temperature of a material. These stresses can lead to fracturing or plastic deformation depending on the other variables of heating, which include material types and constraints. [1] Temperature gradients, thermal expansion or ...

  5. Cyclic stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_stress

    Cyclic stress is the distribution of forces (aka stresses) that change over time in a repetitive fashion. As an example, consider one of the large wheels used to drive an aerial lift such as a ski lift. The wire cable wrapped around the wheel exerts a downward force on the wheel and the drive shaft supporting the wheel.

  6. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    Types of faulting. Anderson's theory of faulting, devised by Ernest Masson Anderson in 1905, is a way of classifying geological faults by use of principal stress. [1] [2] A fault is a fracture in the surface of the Earth that occurs when rocks break under extreme stress. [3] Movement of rock along the fracture occurs in faults.

  7. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    Cylinder stress. In mechanics, a cylinder stress is a stress distribution with rotational symmetry; that is, which remains unchanged if the stressed object is rotated about some fixed axis. Cylinder stress patterns include: circumferential stress, or hoop stress, a normal stress in the tangential ( azimuth) direction.
