 The out-of-plane strain is a scalar variable, and it can be added to the standard system of equations for a mechanics problem, where $\boldsymbol{u}_x$ and $\boldsymbol{u}_y$ represent
 the displacement vectors in the $x$ and $y$ directions, $\boldsymbol{f}_x$ and $\boldsymbol{f}_y$ represent the corresponding reaction forces. The discussion here is for the case where the two-dimensional model lies in the $x$-$y$ plane,  The partitioned linearized system of equations, in which the block entries in the stiffness matrix are represented by subscripted $\boldsymbol{K}$ terms, can be written including the scalar strain variable as follows:

 `HoopStress` calculates the value of a Rank -2 tensor along the
 tangential direction of a sphere, shown in [eq:hoop_stress_scalar_type_spherical].  The spherical system is defined by the center point $C(c_1,c_2,c_3)$. The radial direction $R(r_1,r_2,r_3)$ at current point $P(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ is calculated as $(P-C)$. The tangential plane at the Point $P$ is given as $r_1(x-p_1) + r_2(y-p_2) + r_3(z-p_3)=0$. Any vector that passes through $P$ on this plane is tangential to the spherical surface. To find a point $Q(q_1,q_2,q_3)$ on the tangential plane, we can freely set the values of two coordinates and the solve for last one using the equation of the plane. For example, we set $q_1=p_1+r$ and $q_2=p_2+r$ where $r$ is the norm of the radial direction vector. Then the $q_3$ is calculated as $q_3 = -(r_1+r_2)r/r_3+p_3$. The tangential vector $\hat{t}$ is defined as $Q-P$.
