Stress in Strength of Materials Formulas

Stress is defined as the internal force per unit area within a material, arising due to externally applied loads. It quantifies the material’s internal resistance to deformation. And is denoted by σ. Stress is usually measured using the Pascal for Stress. Note that the value of Stress is always positive.
