Is the uniaxial-strain reference state a stress or strain state? How are stress and strain related in this model?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: It is a state of stress controlled or prescribed by a given strain condition, which is that of compaction. When a rock compacts under the weight of the overburden without being able to expand in the horizontal direction, stresses arise.
