The maximum and the minimum principal stresses are denoted by oi and O3, respectively. The differential stress can have an absolute value greater than oj when (A) o1 and o3 are both compressive. (B) o1 is compressive and o3 is tensile. (C) o1 and os are equal. (D) Gi and o3 are both tensile.
In a Mohr diagram, average stress is the center of the Mohr circle.
Differential stress is the difference between the maximum and minimum principal stresses.
In a two dimension...
