Answer 1

Plane stress...........

Answer 2

When a thin plate is subjected to loading in its own plane only, the condition is called Plane Stress.

Explanation:

• Plane stress classically occurs in thin flat plates that are worked upon only by load forces parallel to them.  

• In certain conditions, a slightly curved thin plate may also be supposed to have plane stress for the objective of stress analysis.  

• When talking about continuum mechanics, a substance is believed to be under plane stress if the stress vector is zero throughout a specific plane.  

• When that condition strikes over the whole element of a structure, as is frequently the case for thin plates, the stress assay is significantly simplified, as the stress state can be denoted by a tensor of dimension 2 (representable as a 2 × 2 matrix instead of 3 × 3).
