    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
stress = ... f_i l_j
l ... branch
f ... force
Branch can be lAB (from particleA to particleB) or lBA (from particleB to 
particleA).
The same for force. It is internal force, and can be either fAB (force applied 
to particleB) or fBA (force applied to particleA).
It does not matter if you choose AB or BA (multiplication makes the result the 
same), but you have to be consistent (using the "same" for both branch and 
force).

This formula is usually denoted as Love-Weber stress tensor in Yade and
is utilized in utils.bodyStressTensors [1,2], utils.getStress [3,4] and
probably other places.

### non-uniqueness of branch and internal force
O.bodies.append((sphere((0,0,0),2),sphere((2,0,0),2)))
O.step()
i = O.interactions[0,1]
b1,b2 = [O.bodies[j] for j in (i.id1,i.id2)]
print("branch12",b2.state.pos - b1.state.pos)
print("branch21",b1.state.pos - b2.state.pos)
print("normal",i.geom.normal)
print("force",i.phys.normalForce + i.phys.shearForce)
print("force1",O.forces.f(i.id1))
print("force2",O.forces.f(i.id2))
