stress relative to the present configuration, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy




In the case of finite deformations, the Cauchy stress tensors express the stress relative to the present configuration. This is in contrast to the Piola–Kirchhoff stress tensor which expresses the stress relative to the reference configuration. For infinitesimal deformations and rotations, the Cauchy and Piola–Kirchhoff tensors are identical.
