Compression Force: Torsion Is The Twisting of An Object Due To An Applied
Compression Force
Compression force (or compressive force) occurs when a physical force presses
inward on an object, causing it to become compacted. In this process, the relative
positions of atoms and molecules of the object change. This change can be
temporary or permanent depending on the type of material receiving the compressive
force. There can also be different results depending on the direction or position on
the object that the compressive force is applied.
2. Bending Force
A bending force is a force that is applied to a length of material. The bending
force is applied to a point, area or volume that is some distance from a fixed portion
of the component or structure to which the force is being applied. An excessive
bending force can cause material failure, especially for materials that have corroded.
3. Torsion
torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque
4. Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its shape, area,
and volume in response to a change in temperature.

6. Tensile Force
Tensile force is a stretching force that acts on an object along its length causing tension,
opposite of compression.
7. Shear Force
Shearing forces are unaligned forces pushing one part of a body in one specific direction, nd
another part of the body in the opposite direction.
8. Friction
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and
material elements sliding against each other.
9. Thermal contraction
Thermal contraction is the length/size/volume of a substance decreasing as it gets cooled.
