Deutsch: Stress / Français: Stress / Italiano: Stress
In an industrial or industry context, the term "stress" typically refers to the force per unit area that is applied to a material and that results in deformation or strain.
This can include a wide range of products and industries, such as:
-
Mechanical engineering: stress analysis is used to predict and prevent the failure of mechanical components and structures, including machine parts, bridges, and buildings.
-
Aerospace engineering: stress analysis is used to predict and prevent the failure of aircraft and spacecraft components, including wings, fuselages, and engines.
-
Civil engineering: stress analysis is used to predict and prevent the failure of civil Infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and buildings.
-
Materials science: stress analysis is used to study the mechanical properties of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, and to predict their behavior under load.
-
Petroleum engineering: stress analysis is used to predict and prevent the failure of oil and gas wells and other petroleum production infrastructure.
-
Biomedical engineering: stress analysis is used to predict and prevent the failure of medical devices and implants, including artificial joints, stents, and pacemakers.
These are just a few examples of the many products and industries that are related to "stress" in an industrial or industry context.
