| Stress |
The force producing or tending to produce deformation divided by the area over which the force is applied. As generally defined in tensile testing (engineering stress), stress is the ratio of applied load to the original cross-sectional area. True stress (instantaneous stress) is applied load per instantaneous cross-sectional area. |
