what is the means of stress

Answer Posted / hari prasad

Stress is the internal resistance, or counterfource, of a
material to the distorting effects of an
external force or load. These counterforces tend to return
the atoms to their normal positions.
The total resistance developed is equal to the external
load. This resistance is known as stress.
