This paper focuses on a novel approach for the quasi-plane strain-softening problem of the cylindrical cavity expansion based on generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion. Because the intermediate principal stress is deformation-dependent, the quasi-plane strain problem is defined to implement the numerical solution of the intermediate principal stress. This approach assumes that the initial total strain in axial direction is a nonzero constant (ε0) and the plastic strain in axial direction is not zero. Based on 3D failure criterion, the numerical solution of plastic strain is given. Solution of the intermediate principal stress can be derived by Hooke’s law. The radial and circumferential stress and strain considering the intermediate principal stress are obtained by the proposed approach of the intermediate principal stress, stress equilibrium equation, and generalized H-B failure criterion. The numerical results can be used for the solution of strain-softening surrounding rock. In additional, the validity and accuracy of the proposed approach are verified with the published results. At last, parametric studies are carried out using MATLAB programming to highlight the influences of the out-of-plane stress on the stress and displacement of surrounding rock.

Numerical computations using finite difference method and unified strength theory are reported to analyze the slope stability problem. The Factor of safety of plane strain and axisymmetric slopes was calculated by strength reducing method, and the influences of intermediate principal stress on slope stability problem was analyzed. The associative and non-associative flow rule was taking into account in plane strain slope problem analysis. The intermediate principal stress has equivalent influences on slope stability problem under associative and non-associative flow rule. The Factor of safety of plane strain slope is lower than the axisymmetric situation. The influence of intermediate principal stress on slope stability under plane strain condition is heavier than axisymmetry.

The present paper concerns the general solution for finite plane strain pure bending of incompressible, orthotropic sheets. In contrast to available solutions, the new solution is valid for inhomogeneous distributions of plastic properties. The solution is semi-analytic. A numerical treatment is only necessary for solving transcendent equations and evaluating ordinary integrals. The solution’s starting point is a transformation between Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates that is valid for a wide class of constitutive equations. The symmetric distribution relative to the center line of the sheet is separately treated where it is advantageous. It is shown that this type of symmetry simplifies the solution. Hill’s quadratic yield criterion is adopted. Both elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions are derived. Elastic unloading is also considered, and it is shown that reverse plastic yielding occurs at a relatively large inside radius. An illustrative example uses real experimental data. The distribution of plastic properties is symmetric in this example. It is shown that the difference between the elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions is negligible, except at the very beginning of the process. However, the rigid/plastic solution is much simpler and, therefore, can be recommended for practical use at large strains, including calculating the residual stresses.
