Reply To: Mohr-Coulomb Stress Safety Tool

[Pedram Samadian]

Hi Faysal,

No problem. Thanks for the info. You mentioned that the radial and hoop stresses were validated against the analytical models. Do you mean the analytical models predicted similar values for these stresses to the finite-element ones? If so, the Mohr-Coulomb criterion may not be conservative enough to predict failure for the current combination of minimum and maximum principal stresses.

Regards,
