The second principal invariant of the stress deviator tensor, J2 , plays an important role in the mathematical theory of plasticity as well as other branches
of nonlinear continuum mechanics. It is the purpose of this tutorial to show its
relationship to other invariants in common use.

Eective Stress
J2 has units of stress squared, hence its square root is often used in continuum
mechanics. In addition, a constant is employed so that this new invariant has the
value of the applied axial stress in one dimension. When this is done, it is called
the eective stress:

Radius of deviation
The next interpretation we give to the J2 invariant is the distance the stress deviates from a state of pure hydrostatic stress. In Fig. 2, the dashed line represents
the locus of points in principal stress space that correspond to states of pure hydrostatic stress, i.e. all three principal stresses are equal. The vector ~ is a generic
~ , represents the perpendicular displacement of this
state of stress. The vector R
~ is perpendicular
state of stress from one of pure hydrostatic stress. That is, R
to the hydrostatic line. We now show that the magnitude of this displacement
vector is yet another way of expressing the J2 invariant.

Note that all states of stress which have equal R-values create a cylindrical surface
about the hydrostatic line. This is shown in Fig. 3. The same is true, of course,
of states of stress with constant J2 -values, constant ef f -values, or constant oct values.

Energy of Distortion
The nal representation of the J2 invariant is the energy of distortion. Strictly
speaking, the energy of distortion is not an invariant of the stress tensor because
its value is dependent on material properties. Never-the-less, it has the same
form for all linear, isotropic materials and its value is directly proportional to J2 .
Hence, for a given material, if one is known, so is the other.
For a linear elastic material, the relationship between the unit change in volume
at a point and the mean stress is
(1 + 2 + 3 ) = v = 3Km
