Abstract: | In addition to principal stress space ( ) the spaces of the base invariants of the stress tensor (II) and the stress deviator (D) are considered. A correspondence is established between these spaces. The limit surfaces of revolution (of Balandin, Mirolyubov, etc.) are expressed in two-dimensional (II) space in the form of parabolas, and the Mises surface in the form of a straight line in (D) space. It is shown that the invariant spaces (II) and (D) are convenient for analyzing the strength criteria of isotropic materials.Moscow.
