Cauchy Stress Tensor
Linked via "stress measures"
Relation to Other Stress Measures
The Cauchy stress tensor is the most commonly used measure in engineering mechanics due to its direct physical interpretation (force per area on the material's current configuration). However, it is one of several stress measures utilized depending on the kinematics of the deformation):
