when a spring is expanded or contracted, what forces act on the material of the spring considering a very minute part (dx).

    A spring is nothing more than a straight wire. It is coiled to make it compact. When a spring is tensioned all that happens is that the wire is twisted. It is equivalent to keeping one end of a straight wire fixed and twisting the far end through an angle. The stress is pure torsion.

    another force which acts on the spring is shear force . it is the force which acts at right angles to the plane of the wire cross-section and tends to cut it.
