When the term uniaxial comes I imagine something being pulled or pushed in one direction only. Confusion is that I read online http://enpub.fulton.asu.edu/imtl/HTML/Manuals/MC105_Cantilever_Flexure.htm" that a cantilever beam loaded at the end is also in uniaxial stress. This is what I can not understand. How? The point at the end where it is being loaded is free and the cantilever will bend so how can it be in uniaxial stress ?
Please explain (not in terms of principal stresses as it is even more confusing :-( )
thx.
