hydrostatic stress
hydrostatic stress The component of confining pressure derived from the weight of pore water in the column of rock above a specified level. All principal stresses are equal and changes in hydrostatic pressure produce changes only in the volume and density of the material. It can be simulated experimentally by enclosing material in a jacket and pumping in liquids to produce equal pressures throughout.
