Abstract
The mechanical behavior at a point of a solid can be represented by stress and strain components in three-dimensional space. Consider a generic point O of an elementary parallelepiped of a continuum referred to by orthogonal Cartesian axes x, y, z as shown in Fig. 2.1. Each of the three faces in the reference planes is in general subjected to one normal stress and two shear stresses. The state of stress at O is thus characterized by these nine stress components.
