SIMPLE STRESS
Consider a force is acting on a body on a unit area. a simple stress is
defined as the internal force which is resisting the external force per
unit area. It is denoted with σ

Stress (σ )= F/A

Where:
F = Force acting on the body
A = Cross-sectional Area where the force is acting

NORMAL STRESS
Normal stress is a stress that acts perpendicular to the area. The
formula for the normal stress is given by

Stress (σ ) = R/A

Where:
R = resisting force
A = Area
