The mean stress term may be considered as
a
hydrostatic
tensile stress, equal in
all
directions, the strains associated with this giving rise to no distortion, i.e. the unit cube under
the action of the hydrostatic stress alone would be strained into a cube. The hydrostatic
stresses are sometimes referred to as the
spherical
or
dilatational
stresses.
The strain energy associated with the hydrostatic stress is termed the
volumetric strain
energy
and is found by substituting
into eqn.

The remaining terms in the modified principal stress equations are shear stress terms (i.e.
functions of principal stress differences in the various planes) and these are the only stresses
which give rise to distortion of the stressed element. They are therefore termed
distortional
or
deviatoric
stresses.
Now
total strain energy per unit volume
=
shear strain energy per unit volume
+
volumetric strain
i.e.
Therefore shear strain energy per unit volume is given by:
