STR Medical Abbreviation

Strain

The amount by which something has changed length, measured as a percentage of its original length. The amount of elongation or compression that occurs in a metal at a given stress or load. Generally in terms of inches elongation per inch of material. Strain semiconductors, strained either by external forces or due to lattice mismatched epitaxial growth, have modified band struc-tures, especially the band gap and effective masses.

Strength

The resistance of a cured core of concrete to crushing – expressed in Mpa. Ability to resist applied forces. Properties related to the ability of steel to oppose applied forces. Forms of strength include withstanding imposed loads without a permanent change in shape or structure and resistance to stretching. 

Straight

Can be used for all the different meanings of "Straight."

Structure

The way in which a tyre carcass is constructed. Radial structure tyres can be identified by the word radial or by the letter R and today account for the majority of vehicle tyres. A mechanism designed and built or constructed of various parts jointed together in some definite manner to carry loads and resist forces. As applied to a crystal, the shape and size of the unit cell and the location of all atoms within the unit cell. As applied to microstructure, the size, shape and arrangement of phases.
