tangential stress. : a force acting in a generally horizontal direction especially : a force that produces mountain folding and overthrusting.
A normal stress is a stress that occurs when a member is loaded by an axial force. The value of the normal force for any prismatic section is simply the force divided by the cross sectional area. A normal stress will occur when a member is placed in tension or compression.
