Of course, there are also other stress components that are not hydrostatic but again
the hydrostatic part, since it is the Trace of the stress tensor, is the same in any
coordinate system.

The strain tensor is obviously symmetric: ! ij = ! ji . If the strain is constant, i. e. it
does not vary with the position in the deformed body, then the displacement vector,
found by integrating this equation, is

u = " ! ij x

j=1
For such constant strain a vector rKL , representing relative position of two points K
and L, changes with the strain application such that

since the vector of the relative displacement of the points K and L, u KL , has

For example, if only !11 " 0 then rKL ! rKL + "11 rKL = (1 + "11 )rKL . This corresponds
to the extension in the direction 1 and the relative extension is !11 . All the other

components, rKL and rKL , remain unchanged. On the other hand if only !12 " 0 then

and the straining leads to both change of the length and direction of the vector rij .
Finally, again the trace of the strain tensor

Within the linear elasticity the stress and strain are related by the Hooks law, which
is in its most general form:
! ij =

where C ijk! are elastic constants (moduli). For the most general anisotropy there are
21 independent elastic constants.
In the case of cubic symmetry there are only three independent elastic constants C1111 ,
c12 = C1122 ,
c44 = C1212 .

STRAIN ENERGY
If the strain ! ij is induced by the stress ! ij (or vice versa) then the strain energy per
unit volume associated with this straining (stressing) is

E = # ! ij " ij = # C ijk! "ij " k!

This is additional potential energy stored in the body due to the straining.
The equation of equilibrium stating that the total force is zero at every point of the
body is

+ Fi = 0 (i = 1, 2, 3)

where Fi is the body force, for example weight. The relation assuring that there is
no moment of forces is the symmetry of the stress tensor: ! ij = ! ji .
