INTRODUCTION
When a specimen of material is loaded in such a
way that it extends it is said to be in tension. On the
other hand if the material compresses and shortens
it is said to be in compression. On an atomic level,
the molecules or atoms are forced apart when in
tension whereas in compression they are forced
together. Since atoms in solids always try to find an
equilibrium position, and distance between other
atoms, forces arise throughout the entire material
which oppose both tension and compression. The
phenomena prevailing on an atomic level are
therefore similar (Pytel and Singer, 1987).
The strain is the relative change in length under
applied stress; positive strain characterizes an object
under tension load which tends to lengthen it, and a
compressive stress that shortens an object gives
negative strain. Tension tends to pull small
sideways deflections back into alignment, while
compression tends to amplify such deflection into
buckling (Beer et al., 1992).
Stress is defined by the force acting on a unit area
and internal forces acting within a member caused
by an applied load. The types of stresses resulting
from different force orientation are tensile stress,
compressive stress and shear stress. A particular

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Figure 1 shows the plot of the force applied against
the stroke. According to the graph the maximum
force that the hollow block could accommodate
would be 42kN. This however is not the case. This
is due to the fact that the dimensions of the hollow
block were not actually specified, and the fact that it
is a hollow object was also unaccounted for.
However, the fact that its break force remains as
24.9688kN remains true.
Figure 1 also shows the maximum force that the
same block of wood can handle. The block of wood
is made up of the same material, but the way it is
oriented is different. For Swood, it is oriented in
such a way that the area in contact with the UTM is
minimized. For Lwood on the other hand, it is
oriented to maximize the area in contact with the
UTM. However even if the contact with the UTM
was maximized, we see that the max force of the
