Name and describe the three possible types of stress.
What will be an ideal response?
There are three possible types of stress: tension, compression, and shear. Tensile stress is created when forces pull on a member and tend to increase its length. Compressive stress pushes on a member and tends to shorten it. Shear stress produces forces that work in opposite directions parallel with the plane of the force, causing adjacent parts of a material to slide past one another.
