axial stress is produced. This is shown in the stress animation below. In this animation, the red vertical slider on the left indicates the amount of temperature increase. The blue shading on the rod ...

As can be seen here, a compressive axial load produces contraction in the transverse direction, and a tensile axial load produces expansion in the transverse direction.

Results: Axial compression strains (p<0.0001), tension strains (p<0.001 ... treadmill runners are at lower risk of developing tibial stress fractures, but less likely to achieve tibial bone ...
