    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">the stress in the code is defined as
      the derivative of the energy per unit volume with respect to
      infinitesimal deformations<br>
      sigma_alpha,beta = 1/Omega partial E / partial epsilon_alpha,beta<br>
      for a deformation such that <br>
      r_alpha -> r'_alpha = r_alpha + sum_beta epsilon_alpha,beta
      r_beta<br>
      it is symmetric in alpha,beta because the antisymmetric components
      of the deformation (describing rotations) do not change the
      energy.<br>
      <br>
      If I understand correctly the stress definitions
      (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_measures">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_measures</a>) for infinitesimal
      deformations they are all the same <br>
      because J=1, F=I, dn_0=dn, ... etc<br>
      <br>
      If you are considering finite deformations the stress is the
      derivative taken w.r.t. the present deformed configuration so I
      think must be the Cauchy stress because the code does not know you
      want to take another configuration as reference.<br>
      Therefore, should be something like  S = J (F^-1) sigma  (F^-1)^T

        <pre>Dear all,

I know If I set tstress=.true. the stress tensor will be computed and
printed. but What's the kind of the Stress Tensor QE dose print? for example Cauchy,
 true, Kirchhoff, PK2, ...
I am trying to calculate second Piola–Kirchhoff (PK2) stresses with QE. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Sincerely
Mahdi<span class="">
