Cauchy Stress Tensor Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

The Cauchy stress refers to the current configuration, that is, it is a measure of force per unit area acting on a surface in the current configuration. The Cauchy stress tensor obeys the tensor transformation law under a change in the system of coordinates. A graphical representation of this transformation law is the Mohr's circle for stress.

This calculator calculates the cauchy stress tensor using raction vector, stress vector across an imaginary surface.

Cauchy Stress Tensor Calculation

Formula:

ti = σij • nj

where,

σij is raction vector
nj is stress vector across an imaginary surface ti is cuchy stress tensor or true stress tensor
