It sets the foundation for theoretical and numerical methods, including finite element analysis, and introduces notation for stress and strain. The chapter also covers stress axis transformation for practical applications, such as analyzing stresses on atomic planes and joints.

It details isotropic materials and stress tensor decomposition into hydrostatic and distortional components, discussing their impact on material behavior. The distinctions between true and engineering stress in deformation are examined, along with adaptations for anisotropic materials.
