In a hydrostatic state of stress, the stress tensor is isotropic and, thus, its components are the same in any Cartesian coordinate system. As a consequence, any direction is a principal direction and the stress state (traction vector) is the same in any plane.

The Cauchy stress tensor can be split into: The spherical stress tensor:
Also named mean hydrostatic stress tensor or volumetric stress tensor or
mean normal stress tensor.
Is an isotropic tensor and defines a hydrostatic state of stress. Tends to change the volume of the stressed body
The stress deviator tensor:
Is an indicator of how far from a hydrostatic state of stress the state is. Tends to distort the volume of the stressed body

Principal stresses are invariants of the stress state:
invariant w.r.t. rotation of the coordinate axes to which the stresses are
referred.
The principal stresses are combined to form the stress invariants I : These invariants are combined, in turn, to obtain the invariants J :

Cauchy’s equation of motion: Boundary conditions The principal stress directions correspond to the set of axes that make
the shear stress components vanish when the stress components are referred to this system.
The normal stress components in the
principal planes are the principal stresses.
