l a well definedpoint. Art. 3.—Lateral Strains. If a body, like that shown in Fig. i, be subjected to ten-sion, all of its oblique cross sections, such as EE and GH, willsustain shearing stresses in consequence of the componentsof the tension tangential to those oblique sections. These Art. 3.]… … Fig.l cross sections of the body are made less, its capacity of resist-ance to the external forces acting on AB and CD will be cor-respondingly diminished. If the body is subjected to compression, oblique sections ofthe body will be subjected to shears, but in directions oppositeto those existing…
