If yielding is governed by the presence of shearing stresses on some planes in a material, then no yielding is theoretically possible when the material is under hydrostatic pressure.
If yielding is governed by the presence of shearing stresses on some planes in a material, then no yielding is theoretically possible when the material is under hydrostatic pressure.
Since the three principal stresses are equal in magnitude, there are no shearing stresses in the material.
