    The different types of stresses induced in mechanical components are:

    1) Tensile stress
    2) Compressive stress
    3) Torsional shear stress
    4) Bearing pressure
    5) Direct shear stress
    6) Bending stress

    Bearing pressure:

    - Localized compressive pressure acting between two components which have relative motion between them is called as bearing pressure.

    - Bearing pressure = P / d l

    here, d = diameter of pin, l = length of pin, P = force

    - It is measured in N/mm2
