Stress will produce strain or will strain produce stress?.
How do you explain?.

Answer Posted / nikhil_p_mech

Strain is "the change in dimension to the original dimension
on applying external force" whereas Stress is "the internal
resisting force (resistance force created by body) developed
per unit area". so Strain gets produced in the body on
applying external force, and to this developed Strain the
Stress developed in the body tries to oppose. Hence the
STRAIN PRODUCES STRESS.
Also, We know the Stress- Strain diagram, in which Stress is
on the Y-axis (ordinate)(for dependent variable) and the
Strain is on the X-axis (abscissa) (for independent
variable). So from this also we can say that,STRAIN PRODUCES
STRESS.
