Given a unit volume of an isotropic material represented by a 3D cube, applying normal and shear stresses leads to the strain deformation of both Cauchy and engineering shear strain types. The stress and strain tensor is updated dynamically with the stress levels, and as you vary the material's modulus of elasticity and the Poisson ratio. The units for stress are in MPa (megapascals) and the unit for is in GPa (gigapascals). Shear strain values in the strain tensor are converted from radians to degrees for convenience. Direct strain is given as a percentage.
