Strekrichting
Strekrichting is a term used in engineering and materials science to describe the direction of stress or strain applied to a material. It is often contrasted with the orientation of the material's internal structure, such as grain boundaries in metals or fibers in composites. Understanding strekrichting is crucial for predicting how a material will behave under load and for designing components that can withstand specific forces.
When stress is applied parallel to the primary orientation of a material's constituent elements, such as along
This concept is important in manufacturing processes as well. For instance, when shaping sheet metal, the direction
