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 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.
