(cross-section) of the test piece (perpendicular) to the stress direction Explanation: Or "the direction of stress". Donal's suggestion is basically right, I think but it doesn't seem to account for "al esfuerzo", which is the puzzling part. I think the key here is that it's not "al esfuerzo de la probeta"; the way I parse it is "el área de la sección (transversal al esfuerzo) de la probeta". In other words, "transversal al esfuerzo" goes together, and describes the "sección de la probeta". Even though you'll already have used perpendicular for "perpendicular", I think you'll have to use it again for "transversal": "transversal 3. adj. Que se cruza en dirección perpendicular con aquello de que se trata." http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=transversal "Esfuerzo" here is stress (denoted by the symbol sigma), not strength: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/geology/1158537... You can say "cross-sectional area" for "área de la sección", but actually "cross-section" alone means the area of the cross-section. |
