Cauchy stress tensor: Measurement, Cauchy's stress theorem—stress tensor & Euler–Cauchy stress principle – stress vector

In continuum mechanics, the Cauchy stress tensor (symbol ⁠ σ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\sigma }}} ⁠, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy), also called true stress tensor or simply stress tensor, completely defines the state of stress at a point inside a material in the deformed state, placement, or configuration. The second order tensor consists of nine…
