Strength
Strength is the amount of force that can be withstood with permanent deformation or failure.... that is it doesnt bend and stay like that or break!! Strength can be broken down into compression, tension, bending, torsion and shear
Compressive Strength

The ability to withstand squashing
Tensile Strength

The ability to withstand Pulling
Bending

The ability to withstand bending... (obvious!)
Torsion

A difficult one this, but forces act like tension but are at not in line... look at the pictures...
