Normal stress occurs when a part is subjected to a pivotal constraint and is denoted by the symbol σ, expressed in units of psi or N/mm2. The equation for normal stress is σ = P/A, where P is the normal load and A is the area. Normal stress can be either tensile or compressive depending on whether the forces are tensile or compressive.
