The tensor consists of nine components that completely define the state of stress at a point inside a material in the deformed state, placement, or configuration. The tensor relates a unit-length w:direction vector n to the traction vector T(n) across an imaginary surface perpendicular to n:[8]
where,
The SI units of both stress tensor and stress vector are N/m2, corresponding to the stress scalar. The unit vector is dimensionless.
Plane Stress & Strain
- Remember: f = kx → Stress = σ =c εTemplate:SpacesandTemplate:Spacesx = (1/k)x → Strain = ε = sσ
From Wikipedia articles on Hooke's law, Plane stress and Plane strain:
where the double underline indicates a second order tensor. Following the notation used by most Wikipedia articles, the plane strain tensor is: [9]
To sort this out, see , and also:
- w:Deformation_(physics) versus w:Deformation_(engineering): These pages do NOT explain why γ/2 appears in the shear strain. We use the former but not the latter in this resource. This w:special:permalink/1032796196#Normal_and_shear_strain to w:Deformation_(physics) does explain it.
