Strain: When the alloy is stressed in specific direction the response of the system for this stress is strain. The deformation of an alloy in specified direction divided by the original length gives the strain the alloy.
The normal strain developed in wires is calculated by using the similar triangle rule.
Deformation is assumed to be linear as they are very small compared to the original length of the wire.
Stress: A body offers some internal resistant force under the action of a load.
This internal resistant force per unit cross-sectional area is termed as stress.
The stress can be calculated by,

Free body diagram:
It is a graphical or symbolic representation used to visualize the external forces, moments and the support reactions on a body for a condition.
Normal stress:
It refers to the stress induced in the member that is loaded along longitudinal or axial direction of the member. It is calculated mathematically from the ratio of the axial or longitudinal force to the cross-sectional area of the member.
Normal strain:
It is the ratio of deformation in length to the original length when a member is subjected to axial load.
Deflection:
It refers to the displacement of any point in a structure due to applied load. It is denoted by .
Hooke’s law:
Hooke’s law states that the normal strain in a member is directly proportional to the normal stress.
Moment:
It refers to the propensity of the force to cause rotation in a body about any fixed point. The moment’s magnitude can be obtained by multiplying force’s magnitude with the perpendicular distance at which the force acts. The moment is denoted by and its unit is.
