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