Thank you for your answer. As you mention, one can compute the principal stress components in different ways, for example, by computing the eigen stress values or by using the Mohr’s circle. I thought that maybe someone had already faced that problem before with Dealii, or that Dealii itself could give you that variable as an output. That would be great.

deal.II doesn't already have this built in, but it would certainly be very nice if you contributed whatever you come up with for inclusion!

(I will caution that one of the reasons deal.II doesn't have this is because the stress depends on what formulation of elasticity you use. It is relatively straightforward if you have linear isotropic elasticity because then you can compute it from the strain and just the two Lame parameters. But if you have some more complex, possibly nonlinear material, then the computation of the stress tensor can be substantially more complicated -- and that makes it less appealing to include in a generic library. But it would make for a nice example in the documentation of DataPostprocessorVector, for example, in the same way as the computation of the stress tensor is currently in the documentation of DataPostprocessTensor.)
