    Meaning of Deviatoric and Normal Stress

    The deviatoric stress describes the difference


    between the actual normal stresses and the mean
    stress.

    • Normal stresses cause volume changes.


    Thus, the mean stress causes a volume
    change

    • Deviatoric stresses cause shape changes.


    Exercise : Stresses

    Principal stress in x-direction: 5 Mpa, principal stress in y-


    direction: 8 Mpa principal stress in z-direction :2 Mpa

    Calculate the value of the differential stress

    What is the value of the Mean Stress?

    Calculate the stress invariants

    Calculate the deviatoric stresses?
