materiaalstress
Materiaalstress, also known as material strain or stress in materials, refers to the internal forces that develop within a solid material when it is subjected to external forces. These external forces can take many forms, such as tension, compression, shear, or bending. When a material is deformed by these forces, the atoms or molecules within the material are displaced from their equilibrium positions, creating internal resistances to this deformation. These internal resistances are what constitute material stress.
Stress is typically quantified as force per unit area. The common units for stress are Pascals (Pa)
Understanding material stress is fundamental in engineering and materials science. It allows for the prediction of
