Types of loading

In mechanical terminology, the term load indicates that external force/weight, either constant or variable, acts on a mechanical member/structure. The weight of an object of a specific material is also an external load, and the external force that works on a structure comes under the categories of loading. The external load generates its effects as stress and strain in the structure.
