ezz = (Zz − σXx − σYy) / E,   exy = Xy / μ.

(1)

If we introduce a quantity λ, of the same nature as E or μ, by the equation

λ = Eσ / (1 + σ)(1 − 2σ),

(2)

we may express the stress-components in terms of the strain-components by the equations

Xx = λ(exx + eyy + ezz) + 2μexx,   Yz = μeyz,

Yy = λ(exx + eyy + ezz) + 2μeyy,   Zx = μezx,

Zz = λ(exx + eyy + ezz) + 2μezz,   Xy = μexy;
