| 1. | The principal stresses are unique for a given stress tensor.
|
| 2. | In terms of the principal stresses this is determined by the equation:
|
| 3. | Mean stress is the time average of the principal stress.
|
| 4. | The principal stresses of a stress tensor are its eigenvalues.
|
| 5. | The von Mises yield criterion for pure shear stress, expressed in principal stresses, is
|
| 6. | The geometric form of ( ) is that of a paraboloid in principal stress space.
|
| 7. | These are the three eigenvalues of the stress tensor, which are called the principal stresses.
|
| 8. | These solutions are the principal directions or eigenvectors defining the plane where the principal stresses act.
