M

mass (M, m)
maximum shear stress in plane strain (t, t')
mean normal stress (p, p')
mean stress in plane strain (s, s')

mass (M, m)

The quantity of matter in a body. Units: grams (g), kilograms (kg), megagrams (Mg).

maximum shear stress in plane strain (t, t')



In plane strain the maximum total and effective shear stresses may be written:
t = ½(s1 - s3) and t´ = ½(s´1 - s´3).

mean normal stress (p, p')

The mean value of the three orthogonal stresses:
p = ¹/3(s1 + s2 + s3)
p' = ¹/3(s'1 + s'2 + s'3)
= ¹/3(s'a + 2s'r)
= p - u

mean stress in plane strain (s, s')



In plane strain the mean stresses may be written
s' = ½(s'1 + s'3)
s = ½(s1 + s3)
