| Static load | pressure applied to a beam evenly |
| Dynamic load | additional pressure applied to a beam which allows bending |
| Compression | squeezing force |
| Tension | stretching force |
| Torsion | twisting force |
| Sheer | force actinf in oppostie directions against material |
| Compressive Stress | stress that causes decrease in length |
| Tensile Stress | Stress that inceases length |
| span-to-depth ratio | length of beam/depth of beam |
| Stress | Force (Newtons)/area (m2) |
| Strain | change in lenth/orginal length |
| Young's Modulus | Stress/Strain |
| ductile | the ablilty to stretch (esp. into a wire) |
