Compression and tension are two types of stresses that materials may experience.
00:04
Despite being opposite in nature, there are some similarities in how they affect materials.
00:08
Here are five examples of similarities between compression and tension stress.
00:16
Both compression and tension induce internal forces within a material.
00:20
In compression, these forces push the material together, while in tension they pull them apart.
00:24
Both types of stress create internal reactions that resist deformation.
00:34
According to newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
00:39
In the context of materials, the forces applied in compression or tension result in equal and opposite reactions within the material.
00:45
Compression generates internal forces that resist further compression, and tension generates internal forces that resist further elongation...
