Comparison of a hyperbolic failure criterion with established failure criteria for cohesive-frictional materialsComparison of a hyperbolic failure criterion with established failure criteria for cohesive-frictional materials Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-11-192013enIn this paper, the performance of a hyperbolic failure criterion is compared with the respective performance of five established failure criteria for cohesive-frictional materials. The comparison is both qualitative and quantitative. The data sets used were found in the open literature and refer to five rock types and one concrete. All the data were obtained from true triaxial tests with independent control of the three principal stresses. The merits and disadvantages of each criterion are critically evaluated and discussed.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences6312-26 Exadaktylos Georgios Εξαδακτυλος Γεωργιος Liolios Pantelis Λιολιος Παντελης Elsevier Calibration of failure criterion Comparison of failure criteria Intermediate principal stress Triaxial stresses Failure surface
