In engineering, Stress is a measure of the load applied for each unit of cross-sectional area of the material under load - i.e. Stress = Load / Area and is measured in newtons per square metre (Nm-2)
Many terms in engineering, science and mathematics are represented by Greek symbols and Stress is allocated the symbol σ (sigma).
