Abstract
Different criteria have been proposed to include the influence of pressure (or mean normal stress) on the yield behavior of polymers. It is difficult to distinguish among them using the type of experiments that produce data used in two-dimensional plots of yield loci. This is due to the fact that the maximum range of values of mean normal stress is relatively small in such experiments. Marked differences between these criteria do occur however as the hydrostatic pressure or mean stress is altered substantially. Experiments that show the effect of applied pressure on tensile and/or compressive yield strength provide one means for describing such differences. This paper considers two forms of a pressure modified von Mises criterion and shows a comparison with available experimental information.
