 Stress and Strain
Finally, we mention that the stress versus strain curve is not necessarily the same during the relaxation of stress as it was during the loading (application) of the stress.
This phenomenon is called "hysteresis", and the ratio of the area under the relaxation curve to that under the loading curve (for a given strain) is called the "resiliance" (usually expressed as a percentage).
Note that strain may be tensile, compressive or torsional; in general, the stress versus strain curve will differ for each material, and for each type of stress.

Acute reaction to stress implies that there is a definable source of stress causing feelings of distress or anxiety that are difficult to cope with.
Acute reaction to stress: covers the management of people with persistent anxiety or other stress symptoms subsequent to a definable source of stress, in which no other psychiatric condition accounts for the symptoms (such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder).
Stress reactions can either be due to unexpected stresses, such as sudden bereavement or a car accident; or situational stress, such as examinations, public speaking, or air travel.

 Sputtered spring films with low stress anisotropy - US Patent 6866255
Stress saturation causes the spring material to become essentially isotropic (uniform) because further applied stress pushes the spring material beyond its yield point, producing relaxation of the material that relieves the additional stress and causes the internal stress to remain at the saturated level.
Intermediate layer 128 is formed with an internal stress that is between the isotropic compressive internal stress of layer 126 and the tensile internal stress of layer 127 to reduce the stress gradient between compressive layer 126A and tensile layer 127A.
In one embodiment, isotropic internal stress is achieved by manipulating the fabrication parameters (i.e., temperature, pressure, and electrical bias) during spring material film information to generate the tensile or compressive stress at the saturation point of the spring material.
