Yield Surface - Invariants Used To Describe Yield Surfaces

Invariants Used To Describe Yield Surfaces

The first principal invariant of the Cauchy stress, and the second and third principal invariants of the deviatoric part of the Cauchy stress are defined as:

\begin{align} I_1 & = \text{Tr}(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) = \sigma_1 + \sigma_2 + \sigma_3 \\ J_2 & = \tfrac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{s}:\boldsymbol{s} = \tfrac{1}{6}\left \\ J_3 & = \det(\boldsymbol{s}) = \tfrac{1}{3} (\boldsymbol{s}\cdot\boldsymbol{s}):\boldsymbol{s} = s_1 s_2 s_3 \end{align}

where are the principal values of are the principal values of, and

\boldsymbol{s} = \boldsymbol{\sigma}-\tfrac{I_1}{3}\,\boldsymbol{I}

where is the identity matrix.

A related set of quantities, are usually used to describe yield surfaces for cohesive frictional materials such as rocks, soils, and ceramics. These are defined as

p = \tfrac{1}{3}~I_1 ~:~~ q = \sqrt{3~J_2} = \sigma_\mathrm{eq} ~;~~ r = 3\left(\tfrac{1}{2}\,J_3\right)^{1/3}

where is the equivalent stress. However, the possibility of negative values of and the resulting imaginary makes the use of these quantities problematic in practice.

Another related set of widely used invariants is which describe a cylindrical coordinate system (the Haigh–Westergaard coordinates). These are defined as:

\xi = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}~I_1 = \sqrt{3}~p ~;~~ \rho = \sqrt{2 J_2} = \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{3}}~q ~;~~ \cos(3\theta) = \left(\tfrac{r}{q}\right)^3 = \tfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}~\cfrac{J_3}{J_2^{3/2}}

The plane is also called the Rendulic plane. The angle is called the Lode angle and the relation between and was first given by Nayak and Zienkiewicz in 1972

The principal stresses and the Haigh–Westergaard coordinates are related by

\begin{bmatrix} \sigma_1 \\ \sigma_2 \\ \sigma_3 \end{bmatrix} = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \begin{bmatrix} \xi \\ \xi \\ \xi \end{bmatrix} + \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{3}}~\rho~\begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta \\ \cos\left(\theta-\tfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) \\ \cos\left(\theta+\tfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) \end{bmatrix} = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \begin{bmatrix} \xi \\ \xi \\ \xi \end{bmatrix} + \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{3}}~\rho~\begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta \\ -\sin\left(\tfrac{\pi}{6}-\theta\right) \\ -\sin\left(\tfrac{\pi}{6}+\theta\right) \end{bmatrix} \,.

A different definition of the Lode angle can also be found in the literature:

\sin(3\theta) = -~\tfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}~\cfrac{J_3}{J_2^{3/2}}

in which case

\begin{bmatrix} \sigma_1 \\ \sigma_2 \\ \sigma_3 \end{bmatrix} = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \begin{bmatrix} \xi \\ \xi \\ \xi \end{bmatrix} + \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{3}}~\rho~\begin{bmatrix} \sin\left(\theta-\tfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) \\ \sin\theta \\ \sin\left(\theta+\tfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) \end{bmatrix} = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \begin{bmatrix} \xi \\ \xi \\ \xi \end{bmatrix} + \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{3}}~\rho~\begin{bmatrix} -\cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{6}-\theta\right) \\ \sin\theta \\ \cos\left(\tfrac{\pi}{6}+\theta\right) \end{bmatrix} \,.

Whatever definition is chosen, the angle varies between 0 degrees to +60 degrees.

Famous quotes containing the words describe, yield and/or surfaces:

    “Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.”
    —Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

    “They are not callow like the young of most birds, but more perfectly developed and precocious even than chickens. The remarkably adult yet innocent expression of their open and serene eyes is very memorable. All intelligence seems reflected in them. They suggest not merely the purity of infancy, but a wisdom clarified by experience. Such an eye was not born when the bird was, but is coeval with the sky it reflects. The woods do not yield another such a gem.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Footnotes are the finer-suckered surfaces that allow tentacular paragraphs to hold fast to the wider reality of the library.”
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
