Shear stress: (english) Stress acting parallel to an imaginary plane cut through an object.
Statically equivalent: (english) Two force systems are statically equivalent when their resultants are equal. Physically, this means that the force systems tend to impart the same motion when applied to an object; note that the distribution of resulting internal forces in the object may be different.
Strain: (english) The intensity of deformation at a point in an object. See normal strain and shear strain.
Stress: (english) The intensity of internal force acting at a point in an object. Stress is measured in units of force per area. See shear stress and normal stress.
Surface force: (english) A force applied to the surface of an object.
Translation: (english) Motion of an object where the path of every point is a straight line.
Transmissibility: (english) The principle stating that a force has the same external effect on an object regardless of where it acts along its line of action.
Weight: (english) The force on an object resulting from gravity.
