| Fig. 6.10a-b: a) Plot of the trace of a traction ellipsoid in first quadrant of the (tx, ty)-plane in traction space with a particular traction vector, t(n). b) Plot of the trace of the traction director surface in the (x, y)-plane of physical space. The tangent plane at the point of intersection of a line parallel to t(n) is parallel to the plane on which this traction acts. | ||||
