Dear all,
In a manuscript I am preparing now, I doubt about the use of the term hydrostatic stress (sigma1 = sigma 2 = sigma 3 = P), because in my case the pressurized confining medium is argon gas and not water as hydro would suggest.
So, as replacement for hydrostatic stress I am considering 'isostatic stress'.
Could you please provide any thoughts about the validity of the term isostatic stress?
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers
Rolf Bruijn
