First Principal Stress in Design Against Static Load Formulas

First Principal Stress is the first one among the two or three principal stresses acting on a biaxial or triaxial stressed component. And is denoted by σ₁. First Principal Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter for Stress. Note that the value of First Principal Stress is always positive.
