Maximum principal deformation criterion

For maximum principal deformation criterion, analysis is performed according to the following formulas:

 

σe,t = σ1 - ν ⋅ σ2

σe,c = σ2 - ν ⋅ σ1

 

Where:

σe,t   – equivalent stress in tension;

σe,c  – equivalent stress in compression;

σ1, σ – principal stresses, σ1 ≥ σ2;

ν  – Poisson’s ratio.
