Is it correct to call tensile stress tension? Tension is a force, tensile stress is force/area (i.e. they are different dimensionally). The tension article supports this - does it need changing?
I don't think 'The volume of the material stays constant' is true, except at best for a single value of poisson's ratio.
Normal stress redirects here. Is it the same, or is it a special case involving perpendicularity? It should be explained in the article. -- Beland 20:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Normal stress should not redirect here. Tensile stress is only one of two normal stresses, the other being compressive stress, both of which act normal to the surface. Squids' and' Chips 16:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
