If I have several beams(the number of beams can change ) with different dimensions ( different cross-sectional areas),all these beams are acted upon by the same axial forces of the same magnitude.How can I create a loop or a statement that will calculate the axial stress of each beam at the time using the formala axialstress=axialforce/area

E.g., maybe using the element-wise division operator is all you need:
axialforce = a scalar or vector of axial forces
area = a vector of the cross sectional areas
axialstress = axialforce ./ area;
