Drucker–Prager yield criterion


The Drucker–Prager yield criterion is a pressure-dependent model for determining whether a material has failed or undergone plastic yielding. The criterion was introduced to deal with the plastic deformation of soils. It and its many variants have been applied to rock, concrete, polymers, foams, and other pressure-dependent materials.

The DruckerPrager yield criterion has the form

where is the first invariant of the Cauchy stress and is the second invariant of the deviatoric part of the Cauchy stress. The constants are determined from experiments.
