Stress represents the
external force acting on the body
pressure setup with in the body material
force by which the material of the body oppose the deformation
resistance per unit area to deformation by internal forces
The deformation per unit length in the direction offload is called
lateral strain
shear strain
linear or longitudinal strain
volumetric starin
A shaft of diameter d and length l has been loaded axially. The ratio of change in diameter to the original diameter is known as
longitudinal strain
shear strain
volumetric strain
lateral strain
Modules of elasticity is defined as the ratio of
axial stress to lateral strain
axial stress to axial strain
lateral strain to longitudinal strain
axial stress to volumetric strain

A circular bar has been subject to compressive load resulting into a decrease in length and a simultaneous increase in diameter. The ratio of strain in the diameteral direction to that in the longitudinal direction is referred to as
Hook’s ratio
