Because of its elliptical shape and defined apex, the ventricle is subjected to a relatively low level of lateral stress.

The lateral stress on the ventricle increases.

For example, guitar bridges are subject to high lateral stresses that with the wrong glue can lead it to creep forward.

At-rest stress is the lateral stress in the ground before any disturbance takes place.

When the soil contained within a geocell is subjected to pressure, it causes lateral stresses on perimeter cell walls.

Unicycle wheels have to withstand large lateral stresses because, unlike in conventional riding, the rider may jump sideways.

Consequently, these segments efficiently redistribute lateral stresses from the bilayer interior toward the interface.

These lateral stresses are rather large and vary with depth within the membrane.

But they don't build those ships to handle lateral stresses.

It was very important that I add very little lateral stress to the tower and also that the sculpture did not interfere with transmissions.
