Bending Stress: When a beam of any kind is bending, it experiences compressive stress on the side inside the bend, and tensile stress on the side outside of the bend
Bulk stress: A force normal to the surfaces of an object over the total area it’s acting on, aka pressure
Bulk Strain: A change in volume as a result of bulk stress
Bulk Modulus: Bulk stress over bulk strain
strain times bulk modulus is pressure
