Stress and strain 2.1. Notation for stress Ox is the normal stress on the x face acting in the x direction. tay is the shear stress on the x face acting in the y direction, In this data book, with the exception of Section 7, tensile stresses are defined as positive. 2.2. Strain definition Sq. is the normal strain in the x direction.
