Description

The Deviator is one of the Invariants of a symmetric three dimensional rank 2 tensor quantity that can be computed by the OOF2 Outputs.

[Note] Note

It is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the traceless part of the tensor. Informally speaking, in elastic problems, it measures the amount of shear represented by the tensor.
