Tensile Stress in Thermal Stress Formulas

Tensile stress can be defined as the magnitude of force applied along an elastic rod, which is divided by the cross-sectional area of the rod in a direction perpendicular to the applied force. And is denoted by σ_t. Tensile Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Tensile Stress is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Tensile Stress?

Tensile stress can be defined as the magnitude of force applied along an elastic rod, which is divided by the cross-sectional area of the rod in a direction perpendicular to the applied force. Tensile Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Tensile Stress is always positive.

Can the Tensile Stress be negative?

No, the Tensile Stress, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Tensile Stress?

Tensile Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal[MPa] for Pressure. Pascal[MPa], Kilopascal[MPa], Bar[MPa] are the few other units in which Tensile Stress can be measured.
