  • Shear stress- acts tangetial to the surface of the body\
  • Radial stress- restoring force acts along the radical plane of the object
  • Tangetial stress- change in the shape of the object
  • Thermal stress- change in temperature of the given material
  • Tensile stress- quantity related to tensile forces and stretching action.
