Stress
It It is is the the internal internal tension tension that that happens happens to to all all bodies bodies subjected subjected to to the the applying applying of of forces forces on on them them
Esfuerzo Esfuerzo:: Es Es la la tensión tensión interna interna que que experimentan experimentan los los cuerpos cuerpos al al estar estar
sometidos sometidos aa la la acción acción de de una una oo más más fuerzas fuerzas sobre sobre ellos. ellos.
AA structure structure is is subjected subjected to to the the action action of of different different forces: forces: its its weight, weight, the the air air or or water... water... These These forces forces cause cause different different types types of of stress stress that that the the structure structure should should withstand withstand to to remain remain balanced. balanced.
In In general general there there are are 55 kinds kinds of of stresses: stresses:
Traction Traction or or tension tension
Compression Compression compresion compresion
Tracci贸n Tracci贸n
Torsion Torsion
Bending Bending
Torsion Torsion
Flexion Flexion
Shear or cutting Shear or cutting Cortadura Cortadura
Traction Traction or or tension tension Tracci贸n Tracci贸n
This This stress stress is is caused caused by by forces forces acting acting on on aa body body that that tend tend to to stretch stretch it it Estirarlo Estirarlo
Pull

Compression Compression Compresi贸n Compresi贸n
This This stress stress is is caused caused by by forces forces acting acting on on aa body body that that tend tend to to flatten flatten or or compress compress it. it. Comprimirlo Comprimirlo
It It happens happens in in structures structures that that need need to to support support weights weights Push

Shear Shear or or cutting cutting Cortadura Cortadura
This This is is caused caused by by two two equal equal forces forces applied applied in in opposite opposite direction. direction. These These forces forces are are very very close close together, together, moving moving in in opposite opposite direction, direction, as as they they try try to to cut cut an an object object Cortar Cortar

To To get get lighter lighter structures structures
If If the the elements elements have have aa certain certain shape shape or or cross-section cross-section (instead (instead of of having having aa solid solid rectangular rectangular cross cross section), section), they they can can be be just just as as strong strong but but they they are are also also lighter. lighter.
Rigidity Rigidity comes comes from: from:
Welding Welding joints joints The The appropriate appropriate shape shape Triangulation Triangulation
To To make make aa structure structure more more rigid, rigid, we we can can add add strengthening strengthening elements elements
Diagonal Diagonal bars bars
Braces Braces
Cables Cables
Triangle Triangle is is the the only only figure figure that that cannot cannot be be deformed, deformed, so so structures structures that that have have aa triangular triangular shape shape are are rigid rigid
We We can can get get aa triangular triangular shape shape by by adding adding aa diagonal diagonal bar bar
