1. In mechanics and materials science, the component of stress that represents the difference between the total stress and the hydrostatic (mean) stress, responsible for shape change rather than volume change
The deviatoric stress state determines whether material will yield or fail under load.
O estado de tensão desviadora determina se o material cederá ou falhará sob carga.
2. A stress tensor component used in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering to analyze shear stresses independent of normal stress
Engineers calculate the deviatoric stress state to predict soil behavior in triaxial tests.
Os engenheiros calculam o estado de tensão desviadora para prever o comportamento do solo em ensaios triaxiais.
