The Hosford yield criterion is a function that is used to determine whether a material has undergone plastic yielding under the action of stress.

[edit] Hosford yield criterion for isotropic plasticity

The Hosford yield criterion for isotropic materials ^[1] is a generalization of the von Mises yield criterion. It has the form

$\cfrac{1}{2}|\sigma_2-\sigma_3|^n + \cfrac{1}{2}|\sigma_3-\sigma_1|^n + \cfrac{1}{2}|\sigma_1-\sigma_2|^n = \sigma_y^n \,$

where $σ i$ , i=1,2,3 are the principal stresses, $n$ is a material-dependent exponent and $σ y$ is the yield stress in uniaxial tension/compression.

The exponent n does not need to be an integer. When n = 1 the criterion reduces to the Tresca yield criterion. When n = 2 the Hosford criterion reduces to the von Mises yield criterion.

[edit] Hosford yield criterion for plane stress

The plane stress, isotropic, Hosford yield surface for three values of n

For the practically important situation of plane stress, the Hosford yield criterion takes the form

$\cfrac{1}{2}\left(|\sigma_1|^n + |\sigma_2|^n\right) + \cfrac{1}{2}|\sigma_1-\sigma_2|^n = \sigma_y^n \,$

[edit] Logan-Hosford yield criterion for anisotropic plasticity

The Logan-Hosford yield criterion for anisotropic plasticity ^[2] ^[3] is similar to Hill's generalized yield criterion and has the form

$F|\sigma_2-\sigma_3|^n + G|\sigma_3-\sigma_1|^n + H|\sigma_1-\sigma_2|^n = 1 \,$

where F,G,H are constants, $σ i$ are the principal stresses, and the exponent n depends on the type of crystal (bcc, fcc, hcp, etc.) Accepted values of $n$ are 6 for bcc materials and 8 for fcc materials.

Though the form is similar to Hill's generalized yield criterion, the exponent n is independent of the R-value unlike the Hill's criterion.

[edit] Logan-Hosford criterion in plane stress

The plane stress, anisotropic, Hosford yield surface for four values of n and R=2.0

Under plane stress conditions, the Logan-Hosford criterion can be expressed as

$\cfrac{1}{1+R} (|\sigma_1|^n + |\sigma_2|^n) + \cfrac{R}{1+R} |\sigma_1-\sigma_2|^n = \sigma_y^n$

where $R$ is the R-value and $σ y$ is the yield stress in uniaxial tension/compression. For a derivation of this relation see Hill's yield criteria for plane stress.
