Stress (Athletics)

The overload that is placed on a muscle fiber or organism.

Stress (Construction)

Any force acting upon a part or member.

Stress (Corrosion)

The intensity of the internally distributed forces or components of forces that resist a change in the volume or shape of a material that is or has been subjected to external forces. Stress is expressed in force per unit area and is calculated on the basis of the original dimensions of the cross section of the specimen. Stress can be either direct (tension or compression) or shear. See also residual stress

Stress (Developmental Psychology)

Mental or physical tension or strain.

Stress (Earthquake)

Force per unit area acting on a plane within a body. Six values are required to characterize completely the stress at a point: three normal components and three shear components.

Stress (Fitness)

A physiological or psychological response to a stressor beyond what is needed to accomplish a task.

Stress (Graphic Design)

in a typeface, the axis around which the strokes are drawn

Stress (Huntingtons Disease)

The effects of psychosocial and environmental factors on physical and mental well-being.

Stress (Magnetic Tapes)

Force per unit area, such as pounds per square inch (psi). A tape wound on a reel with high tension results in a tape pack with a high interwinding stress. See tension.

Stress (Medical)

Any event or circumstance that strains or exceeds an individual's ability to cope.

Stress (Metal)

Force per unit area. True stress denotes stress determined by measuring force and area at the same time. Conventional stress, as applied to tension and compression tests, is force divided by original area. Nominal stress is stress computed by simple elasticity formula.Force per unit area, often thought of as force acting through a small area within a plane. It can be divided into components, normal and parallel to the plane, called normal stress and shear stress, receptively. True stress denotes the stress where force and area are measured at the same time. Conventional stress, as applied to tension and compression tests, is force decided by the original gauge length. Shearing strain (or shear strain) is the change in angle (expressed in radians) between two lines originally at right angles. When the term strain is used alone it usually refers to the linear strain in the direction of the applied stress.Deforming force to which a body is subjected, or, the resistance which the body offers to deformation by the force.

Stress (Natural Gas)

The resultant force that resists change in the size or shape of a body acted on by external or internal forces. "Stress" is often used as being synonymous with unit stress which is the stress per unit area (psi).

Stress (Ordination)

1) a measure of the optimality of an ordination solution (i.e. the relationship between the similarity in species composition and the closeness in ordination space), used as part of the algorithm of NMDS. 2) What one often feels while performing multivariate analyses

Stress (Pavement)

Intensity of internal force (i.e., force per unit area) exerted by either of two adjacent parts of a body on the other across an imagined plane of separation; when the forces are parallel to the plane, the stress is called shear stress; when the forces are normal to the plane the stress is called normal stress; when the normal stress is directed toward the part on which it acts it is called compressive stress; when it is directed away from the part on which it acts it is called tensile stress.

Stress (Poetry)

From a linguistics standpoint, the intensity of muscular effort required for the articulation of syllables, but for prosodic purposes, the term is commonly and correctly used as a synonym for accent.

Stress (Problem Teenagers)

Any event or circumstance that strains or exceeds an individual's ability to cope.

Stress (Sexual Health)

Being made to feel threatened or challenged in some way.
