stress analysis
Structural force study
Stress analysis is the engineering discipline of calculating how forces distribute through materials and structures.
Engineers perform stress analysis to predict where bridges, buildings, aircraft, or mechanical parts might fail under load.
The term also applies to examining psychological pressures: a stress analysis of workplace burnout factors.
