In this article, we will learn about different types of turbine. The turbines are of basically four types and these are water turbine, steam turbine, gas turbine and wind turbine. We will also discuss here what is turbine, main parts of the turbine and the working principle of a turbine. What is Turbine? A turbine …
In this article we will learn about what is thermal stress and formula of thermal stress and strain. What is Thermal Stress? Stress which is induced in a body due to change in the temperature is known as thermal stress and the corresponding strain is called thermal strain. Thermal stress induces in a body when …

In this article, we will learn about the types of moulding sand. Sands which are used to make a mould is called moulding sand. Almost every manufacturing industries uses moulding sand to make moulds. The casting of materials without the use of moulding sand is impossible. Here we are going to discuss different types of …
In this article we will discuss about the different types of beams used in the construction. Without beams there will not be any structure which can withstand loads. They are the structural member which helps in bearing loads. If there are no beams, there will be no structure. What is a Beam? The beam is …

In this article, we will learn about the Difference Between Generator and Motor. The generator and motor are such devices whose function is just the opposite of each other. One is used to generate electricity and other uses electricity. In this, you will learn about the generator and motor and their differences in brief. Difference Between …
In this article, we will learn about what is elasticity, elastic limit, young’s modulus and modulus of rigidity. These terms keeps an important role in the study of subject strength of materials. Understanding about stress and strain is possible when one must have the knowledge of these terms. Let’s discuss about them one by one. …
What is Hooke’s law? It is the general question that is asked in the subject strength of materials. This law gives us a relation between stress and strain. It was given by Robert Hooke in 1660. It is defined on elastic materials. What is Hooke’s Law Statement of Hooke’s Law According to Hooke’s law, when …
Before finding the units of stress we must know what is stress and what is formula of stress. It is the formula of Stress through which we can easily determine the Units of stress. Since the stress is defined as the ratio of resisting force or applied load to the cross section area. The formula …
In this article will study the types of stress, normal stress, tensile stress, compressive stress, and shear stress. We will discuss about the definition and formula of each stress in detail. Types of Stress A stress acts on a body may be normal stress or shear stress. Normal Stress: Normal stress is a stress that …
In this article, you will learn about what is stress in the strength of materials, their unit, and types of stress with numerical problems. So let’s begin our study… What is Stress? Stress is defined as the resistance force acting per unit cross-section area of the body. It is also defined as the ratio of …
