FAQ

What is the First Principal Stress?
First Principal Stress is the first one among the two or three principal stresses acting on a biaxial or triaxial stressed component. 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. Typically, the value of First Principal Stress is greater than 0.
Can the First Principal Stress be negative?
No, the First Principal Stress, measured in Stress cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure First Principal Stress?
First Principal Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter[N/mm²] for Stress. Pascal[N/mm²], Newton per Square Meter[N/mm²], Kilonewton per Square Meter[N/mm²] are the few other units in which First Principal Stress can be measured.
