Stress and strain 2.1. Notation for stress Gx is the normal stress on the x face acting in the x direction. ‘ry. is the shear stress on the x face acting in the y direction. In this data book, with the exception of Section 7, tensile stresses are defined as positive. 2.2. Strain definition q is the normal strain in the x direction.

If new faces are considered at angle 0 (see Section 2.5), the stresses on the new faces can be obtained by rotating the diameter of Mohr’s circle by 20in the same direction, 2 2.7.

Principal stresses in 3 dimensions The principal stresses can be calculated as the eigenvalues of the stress matrix g, and the principal directions are the corresponding eigenvectors.
