• Associated flow is obtained in the hyperbolic model if β = ψ and
• In the general exponent model the flow is always nonassociated in the meridional plane.
• The default flow potential eccentricity is ε = 0.1.
• It provides an almost constant dilatational angle over a wide range of confining pressure stress values.
• Increasing the value of εprovides more roundedness to the flow potential.
• The dilation angle increases smoothly as the confining pressure decreases.
ε < 0.1may lead to convergence problems if the material is subjected to low confining pressures because of the very sharp curvature of the flow potential near its intersection with the p-axis.

Extended Drucker-Prager Models
• Matching experimental data
• The simplest modified Drucker-Prager model requires at least two experiments for calibration.
• Simplest model: linear, rate independent, temperature independent, and yielding independent of the third stress invariant.
• Most common experiments performed:
• uniaxial compression (for cohesive materials)
• triaxial compression or tension tests
• shear tests for cohesive materials
• The uniaxial compression test involves compressing the sample between two rigid platens.
• Record the load and displacement in the direction of loading
• Record the lateral displacements for measuring volume changes
• Triaxial test data are required for a more accurate calibration.

• The stress state corresponding to some user-chosen critical level provides one data point for calibrating the yield surface material parameters.
• Choose the stress at the onset of inelastic behavior or the ultimate yield stress.
• Additional data points are obtained from triaxial tests at different levels of confinement.
• These data points define the shape and position of the yield surface in the meridional plane.

Extended Drucker-Prager Models
• Defining the shape and position of the yield surface is adequate to define the model if it is to be used as a failure surface.
• To incorporate isotropic hardening, one of the stress-strains curves from the triaxial tests can be used to define the hardening behavior.
• The curve that represents hardening most accurately over a wide range of loading conditions should be chosen.
• Unloading measurements in these tests are useful to calibrate the elasticity, particularly in cases where the initial elastic region is not well defined.

• It is observed that the Drucker-Prager results for the dilatant and nondilatant cases are close to the respective Mohr-Coulomb solutions.
• The nondilatant Drucker-Prager and Mohr-Coulomb models lead to a softer response and a lower limit load than the corresponding dilatant versions.

Modified Drucker-Prager/Cap Model
• The characteristics of the Modified Drucker-Prager/Cap model:
• This model is intended to simulate the constitutive response of cohesive geological materials.
• It adds a “cap” yield surface to the linear Drucker-Prager model
• to bound the model in hydrostatic compression, and
• to help control volume dilatancy when the material yields in shear.
• The elastic response is followed by a non-recoverable response idealized as being plastic.
• The material is initially isotropic.

• The yield behavior depends on the hydrostatic pressure.
• There are two distinct regions of behavior.
• On the failure surface the material is perfectly plastic.
• On the cap yield surface it hardens and also stiffens.
The hardening/softening behavior is a function of the volumetric plastic strain.
• The yield behavior may be influenced by the magnitude of the intermediate principal stress.
L4.6
Modified Drucker-Prager/Cap Model
• The inelastic behavior is generally accompanied by volume changes.
• On the failure surface the material dilates.
• On the cap surface it compacts.
• At the intersection of these surfaces, the material can yield indefinitely at constant shear stress without changing volume.
• Under large stress reversals the model provides reasonable material response on the cap region;
• however, on the failure surface region the model is acceptable only for essentially monotonic loading.
• The material properties can be temperature dependent.
