STRESS DOE-HDBK-1017/1-93 Properties of Metals The important information in this chapter is summarized below. Stress  is  the  internal  resistance  of  a  material  to  the  distorting  effects  of  an external force or load. Stress      s  F A Three types of stress Tensile stress is the type of stress in which the two sections of material on either side of a stress plane tend to pull apart or elongate. Compressive stress is the reverse of tensile stress.   Adjacent parts of the material tend to press against each other. Shear stress exists when two parts of a material tend to slide across each other upon application of force parallel to that plane. Compressibility  is  the  ability  of  a  material  to  react  to  compressive  stress  or pressure. MS-02 Page 6 Rev. 0
