SMOOTH LIMIT SURFACES FOR METALS, CONCRETE, AND GEOTECHNICAL MATERIALS

A general and simple formulation in terms of three invariants of stress has been developed for describing the limit surfaces for engineering materials. An important aspect of the formulation is that the resutling limit surface is both convex and smooth. With an appropriate selection of parameters, typical limit surfaces for steel, concrete, and soils can be obtained with one formulation. The development of the formulation and conclusions drawn from the study are discussed.
