Modified Forms of The Willam-Warnke Yield Criterion

An alternative form of the Willam-Warnke yield criterion in Haigh-Westergaard coordinates is the Ulm-Coussy-Bazant form:

f(\xi, \rho, \theta) = 0 \, \quad \text{or} \quad f := \rho + \bar{\lambda}(\theta)~\left(\xi - \bar{B}\right) = 0

where

\bar{\lambda} := \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{3}}~\cfrac{u(\theta)+v(\theta)}{w(\theta)} ~;~~ \bar{B} := \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}~\left

and

\begin{align} r_t := & \cfrac{\sqrt{3}~(\sigma_b-\sigma_t)}{2\sigma_b-\sigma_t} \\ r_c := & \cfrac{\sqrt{3}~\sigma_c~(\sigma_b-\sigma_t)}{(\sigma_c+\sigma_t)\sigma_b-\sigma_c\sigma_t} \end{align}

The quantities are interpreted as friction coefficients. For the yield surface to be convex, the Willam-Warnke yield criterion requires that and .

Famous quotes containing the words modified, forms, yield and/or criterion:

    “Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
    —Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)

    “We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “Those who, while they disapprove of the character and measures of a government, yield to it their allegiance and support are undoubtedly its most conscientious supporters, and so frequently the most serious obstacles to reform.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth.... Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)
