2d Stress State
Frida Kosofsky
The stress tensor is an invaluable tool that offers deep insights into material behaviour under different force and heat conditions. Removing guesswork from engineering, this tool is a significant part of material science and engineering.
If you imagine pushing down on a box directly from above, the force you're applying creates normal stress in the box. If you were to take that same box and push it from the side, causing it to shift, that paralleled force is creating shear stress.

'Stress State' in engineering refers to the internal distribution of forces within a material or structure under the influence of external forces or loads. This term helps to predict how a material will react under different conditions.
The two main forms of stress in 'Stress State' are normal stress and shear stress. Normal stress results from perpendicular forces to the material's surface, while shear stress is a result of parallel forces.
Fatigue, often related to cyclic loading, can lead to material degradation even when the applied stress is significantly below the material's yield strength. Materials lacking a defined fatigue limit can ultimately fail due to fatigue, even under very low cyclic stress levels.
'Stress State' is pivotal in different engineering fields to understand the behaviour of materials under various forces. Civil engineering may focus on stress state in structures, mechanical engineering in moving parts, while aerospace engineering factors in terrestrial and extraterrestrial stresses.
Metals undergo elastic deformation and can enter a plastic deformation phase if stress exceeds their yield strength. Polymers are pliable and show viscoelastic or plastic behaviour. Ceramics, being brittle, perform well under compression but may shatter under tensile stresses.
Understanding stress states allows civil engineers to gauge the structural integrity of buildings and other structures. They can assess the effects of loads and recommend measures such as reinforcements or limiting load use to ensure safe stress state limits.

Premature mothers present more anxiety and stress after delivery, which may be caused by mother-infant separation while hospitalised. Skin-to-skin contact (SSC), a mitigating factor for mother-infant separation, can benefit infants and mothers in many ways, but few studies focused on its efficacy on maternal anxiety and stress states. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate the effect of SSC on anxiety and stress. Comprehensive research was conducted in nine databases. Meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of SSC, and subgroup analyses were performed to explain the sources of heterogeneity. Eight randomised controlled trials with 728 participants were included, and SSC significantly reduced the level of anxiety ([standardised mean difference, SMD] -0.72; 95% CI -1.08 to -0.35) and stress state ([SMD] -0.84; 95% CI -1.59 to -0.09). One subgroup analysis revealed that SSC can relieve anxiety if performing SSC no less than 1 h per day ([SMD] -0.94; 95% CI -1.34 to -0.53). Another subgroup analysis suggested that applying SSC repeatedly and lasting less than 1 week ([SMD] -1.49; 95% CI -2.31 to -0.66) or for 1 week to 2 weeks ([SMD] -1.04; 95% CI -1.29 to -0.79) can significantly reduce maternal anxiety level but no significance if lasting over 2 weeks ([SMD] -0.33; 95% CI -0.67 to 0.01). SSC can effectively improve anxiety and stress states among premature mothers after delivery, and not definitive finding presents that only SSC that was performed no less than 60 min could improve postpartum anxiety states, while SSC alone was not as effective when carried out over 2 weeks.

Here, earthquake triggering and characteristics of seismicity before, during, and after the Ridgecrest earthquakes are investigated. In particular, focus is placed on determining maps of b-values for different time periods, showing how the nucleation area for both the M6.4 and M7.1 quakes had low b-values before these events occurred, and mid-to-high b-values thereafter. The b-value map also correlates well with the slip distribution of the M7.1 quake. In addition, the local and time-dependent variations in b-values of the Ridgecrest earthquakes are linked with estimates of changes to Coulomb stress. The main conclusions of this study are that the b-values provide insight into the state of stress in the fault zone, which is likely closely related to the nucleation and evolution of earthquakes in the sequence. This combined approach of b-value and stress-change analyses to the post-M7.1-quake seismicity shows an area that is currently being stressed. Monitoring the spatio-temporal distribution of b, together with other seismological and geodetic observations, will contribute to an appreciation of the seismic hazard in the ECSZ.
If the zone of currently low b-values (Fig. 2e) were more stressed (decrease in b-value), seismic activity in this zone would be further enhanced with possibility of future ruptures propagating either along a M6.4-quake-type left-lateral fault or along a M7.1-quake-type right-lateral fault (Fig. 3b and Supplementary Figs. 11 and 12). If so, the influence of a likely future rupture on the Garlock fault would be inevitable. Although this fault has historically been seismically quiescent, it has hosted numerous large earthquakes over several thousand years30, and the last major earthquake occurred about 400 to 500 years ago31. Moreover, geodetic measurements1,18,23 showed that measurable surface creep was triggered by the Ridgecrest sequence, while no measurable creep was shown before the start of this sequence32. The timing of the precursory signal observed in Fig. 2h remains unexplained: the low-b-value patch may continue or subside without the occurrence of a large earthquake. It is not yet possible to make conclusions about the quantitative predictive power of b-value mapping. Thus, together with seismological and geodetic observations, it would be worthwhile to monitor the spatio-temporal distribution of b-values around the southeast rupture terminus of the M7.1 quake, which contributes to seismic hazard in the ECSZ.
A question regarding the finding that the Garlock fault may be at risk of rupture due to the existence of a low b-value patch is that the estimate of risk is not quantitative, in the sense of a probability computation. One approach to quantitative evaluation of present level of risk is to apply some type of nowcasting method33 to the Ridgecrest sequence. While we have not examined it in details, previous studies have shown promise in its applications to seismically active regions33,34,35,36, and on a worldwide basis37,38,39. Our future work will be directed at answering this question.
