II.1.10.3 Von Mises criterion (3D)

Using the stress tensor components a scalar equivalent shear stress is given by:

σeqVonMises3D = σ11 2 + σ22 2 + σ33 2 - σ11 σ22 - σ22 σ33 - σ33 σ11 + 3τ12 2 + 3τ23 2 + 3τ31 2.

Ply passes the failure criterion if

σeqVonMises4D σtall.

As for the 2D version, the corresponding failure index is given by II.1.116, the reserve factor by II.1.117 and the strength ratio by II.1.118. This criterion is referred to as “VonMises3D” criterion in FeResPost.
