Dec 19, 2021 at 15:27 comment added Harshit Rajput Thank you kamran, I do get some intuition about the words direct and indirect now. I just want to think of a definition which can define direct and indirect stresses. I came up with this, please let me know what you think about it and if its generalized enough - If the internal resistive forces are all directed along the same direction, then the stress corresponding to those internal resistive forces is called a direct stress. If the internal resistive forces are all not directed along the same direction then the corresponding stress is called an indirect stress.
