# Plasticity Yield Criteria
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
A plasticity yield criterion defines the stress states at which a material leaves elastic response and begins plastic flow. In finite element analysis, the yield function is evaluated at integration points during each increment.
|
|
|
|
## Criteria In The Source
|
|
|
|
[[Finite-Elements-in-Plasticity-Theory-and-Practice|Finite Elements in Plasticity: Theory and Practice]] emphasizes four criteria for two-dimensional and axisymmetric plasticity programs:
|
|
|
|
- Tresca: pressure-insensitive yielding based on maximum shear stress.
|
|
- von Mises: pressure-insensitive yielding based on distortional energy or deviatoric stress invariant.
|
|
- Mohr-Coulomb: pressure-dependent yielding commonly used for frictional geomaterials.
|
|
- Drucker-Prager: smooth pressure-dependent approximation useful for soils, rocks, and other frictional media.
|
|
|
|
## Solver Consequences
|
|
|
|
The yield criterion affects:
|
|
|
|
- how elastic trial stresses are tested;
|
|
- where plastic corrections are projected;
|
|
- whether the yield surface has corners or singular points;
|
|
- whether pressure contributes to yielding;
|
|
- which stress components and invariants must be computed in each element routine.
|
|
|
|
## Connections
|
|
|
|
Pressure-insensitive criteria connect directly to [[Abaqus Metal Plasticity Models]]. Pressure-dependent criteria connect to [[Abaqus Geomaterial and Concrete Plasticity]]. All criteria depend on [[Plastic Flow Rules and Hardening]] to define the post-yield strain increment and evolution of the yield surface.
