Stress may refer to:

Mechanical stress pudding

  • Stress (mechanics), the average amount of force exerted per unit area
  • Compressive stress, the stress applied to materials resulting in their compaction. It is the ability of a material to resist being crushed.
  • Tensile stress (also referred to as tension) is the stress state leading to expansion
  • Yield stress, the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically

Biology

Geology

  • Compression (geology), the set of stresses directed toward the center of a rock mass
  • Shear (geology), the response of a rock to deformation usually by compressive stress and forms particular textures
  • Tension (geology), occurs when a rock is pulled apart in two opposite directions
