What is the difference between stress and strength?..

Answer / aniket shyam shewate

Stress is result of loading whereas strength is the
therotical value calulated on the basis of crystal structure
and chemical composition.

For both the units and measurement systems are same.

In short we can say that while loading the material stresses
are produced and not the strength.

Stress terms

A material being loaded in a) compression, b) tension, c)
