1. A condition in materials or structures where internal stresses are not uniformly distributed, resulting in unequal force distribution across different planes or directions
The metal beam experienced an unbalanced stress state due to the eccentric loading applied to it.
A viga de metal experimentou um estado de tensão desequilibrado devido ao carregamento excêntrico aplicado.
2. In engineering and mechanics, a situation where principal stresses are not equal or symmetrically distributed
The analysis revealed an unbalanced stress state that could lead to material failure.
A análise revelou um estado de tensão desequilibrado que poderia levar à falha do material.
