	Analysis of Stress
		Mathematically, the stress tensor is a second-order Cartesian tensor with nine stress components.
		You assume the sign of a stress component is positive when its direction and the normal vector of the surface, on which the component of the stress tensor is acting, are of the same sign.
		This is a vector representation of the symmetric stress tensor.

	Stress analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stress analysis is an engineering discipline that determines the stress (physics) in materials and structures subjected to static or dynamic forces or loads (see statics and dynamics).
		Most often the term stress analysis is applied to mathematical or computational methods applied to structures that do not yet exist, such as a proposed aerodynamic structure, or to large structures such as a building, a machine, a reactor vessel or a piping system.
		A stress analysis can also be made by actually applying the force(s) to an existing element or structure and then determining the resulting stress using sensors, but in this case the process would more properly be known as testing (destructive or non-destructive).

	Overview of Stress Analysis
		Stress analysis is used to ensure a component or assembly achieves its expected life.
		Stress is never uniform in engineering components, and there often can be small regions of stress in a component that are in excess of the strength of the material, whereas elsewhere the stresses are relatively low.
		A typical stress analysis hand calculation could use a beam bending or similar equation (Read about this equation on the Introduction to FEA 1 page here), or empirical data available from the famous 'Roark' book for example (Warren C Young, Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain, 6th Edition, Mc Graw Hill International, 1989).

		Results obtained indicate that stress intensity factors of cracked components exposed to thermal fatigue conditions have a significant dependence on the frequency of the thermal cycle and the crack geometry.
		Results indicate the thermally induced stress intensity factor of cracked components cycled by the direct resistance method of heating increases with the frequency of the thermal loading and may become quite large at higher frequencies.

		If a small elemental strip of cloth from a strapless evening gown is isolated as a free body in the area of plane A in Figure 1, it can be seen that the tangential force F1 is balanced by the equal and opposite tangential force F2.
		The downward vertical force W(weight of the dress) is balanced by the force V acting vertically upward due to the stress in the cloth above plane A. Since the algebraic summation of vertical and horizontal forces is zero and no moments are acting, the elemental strip is at equilibrium.
		Assuming that the female is naturally endowed to supply the vertical force V, the problem is still left incomplete unless an analysis is made of the structures supplying this force.

	What Is Voice Stress Analysis? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Voice Stress Analysis (VSA), originally known as Psychological Stress Evaluation (PSE), is a procedure used for detection of deception (lie detection) or truth verification or to determine psychological stress profiles.
		Most of the functional indicators of stress are attributed to the Autonomic Nervous System, physiological tremor as seen in the voice mechanism is controlled by the Central Nervous System; as the ANS gains dominance in a stress situation, the micro-tremors are suppressed, and the FM in the voice utterance is moderated or completely disappears.
		Combining the “Science” of voice stress analysis and the “Art” of detection of deception testing, BAKER- DVSA requires standardized chart reading analysis, time-proven procedures, and specialized examiner training to excel in detection of deception or covert narrative analysis.

		This is supposed to be a more general muscular phenomenon, but the "voice stress" applications depend on measuring the intensity of this tremor in the fundamental frequency (pitch) of the voice, caused by "microtremors" in the muscles of the larynx.
		Look for "microtremor" or "voice stress" and you'll find lots of pages discussing whether or not the methods work -- but nothing, as far as I can tell, telling you in mathematical or algorithmic detail what the methods really are, much less offering code that implements them.
