Summary

Dealing with stress-strain relations, the writer separates the states of stress and strain into two parts, the compression by hydrostatic pressure and the change of shape by the deviatoric part of the stress; each part has its own behaviour and modulus. He develops a graphical representation of the state of stress, which gives a simple way of comparing the different states of stress corresponding to the yield-limit.
