A prismatic bar is a straight structural member having the same cross section
throughout its length, and an axial force is a load directed along the axis of the
member, resulting in either tension or compression in the bar.
Examples are shown in the Figure 1, where the tow bar is a prismatic member
in tension and the landing gear strut is a member in compression.

What is stress
Other examples are the members of a bridge truss, connecting rods in
automobile engines, spokes of bicycle wheels, and columns in buildings.
Normal stress
Consider the tow bar of Figure 1 and isolate a segment of it as a free body
Figure 2.
Figure 2
To draw this free-body diagram, we disregard the weight of the bar itself
and assume that the axial forces P at the ends are the only active forces .
Stress is defined as force per unit area and is denoted by the Greek letter σ
(sigma).
