![]() ![]() Think stack of lego bricks, which are incredibly good in compression but can be pulled apart with relatively little force. Obviously this stretching and squashing is infinitesimally small, but the compressive/tensile stress develops nonetheless.Īll materials have a value of tensile stress and compressive stress, which are often vastly different. In any element subjected to bending (think beam supported at either end with weight in the middle), the element will experience tensile stress on the 'convex' side (as that side stretches) and compressive stress on the 'concave' side (as that side squashes). Okay, so firstly I'll address u/Billyclintoon's comment.
