1. Tensional Stress

   Linked via "compressional stress"

   Tensional stress, also known as extensional stress or tensile stress, is a fundamental concept in continuum mechanics describing the internal forces acting within a deformable body that tend to cause a reduction in volume or an increase in length along the direction of the applied load. It is mathematically represented as a positive value in the principal stress coordinate system, contrasting with compressional stress, which is typically denoted as ne…
