stresses in metals operate under a cloak of mystery, as they have neither
been seen in the laboratory nor detected by means of the microscope. In
spite of their phantom-like nature, they frequently exert metallurgical
effects that cannot be ignored." (Background image on this page is 3D FEM from forging application. Graphic by Chris Brigman.)
