Summary
The
Cauchy Stress Tensor
is a
Mathematical construct
used in
Continuum Mechanics
to describe the
State of stress
at a point within a material, capturing the
Internal Forces
acting on an
Infinitesimal Element
. It is a
Second-order Tensor
that relates the
Vector of a force
acting on a surface to the
Orientation of that surface
, providing a comprehensive description of the
Stress Distribution
in
Three-dimensional Space
.
