Constraints for equivalence of hydrostatic stress and Normal Principal stress
Manjeel Kumar
Abstract :
Hydrostatic stress be the one kind of average of the normal stress components of any stress tensor while Principal stress is one kind of maximum or minimum normal stress when the corresponding shear stresses are zero and the plane on which principal stress act is known as principal plane. As we know that there are infinite numbers of planes passing through the given point and the normal stress on each plane will be different from the other. Therefore If we know all the stress components
