What is the difference between stress and strength?
Answer Posted / md. nazmul huda
Stress is the intensity of force/resistance per unit area at
any condition due to applied force on a body.
On the other hand, Strength is the stress at time of
failure; structure can withstands.
If the structure can't withstand with the governing stress
then, it can't be specified as strength. Therefore, any
strength is the part of stress, but any stress can't be the
part of strength!! Though, the both terms have same unit to
express!!!
