Hello,
I am performing calibration trials for the hypoplastic sand model with the aid of ExCalibre and i was wondering how the deviatoric stresses q for the triaxial test input in ExCalibre are defined, because so far i was not able to come up with good results. Is it q= (Sig1-Sig3) or is it q = (Sig1-Sig3)/2.

Thanks for your help.

    Dear Manuel,

    it should be (sig1-sig3) to my knowledge.

    Best regards,

    Dear Manuel, it is q=sig1-sig3 as written by Henning, please refer to Eq. 1 from Roscoe & Burland (1968), downloadable from here: https://soilmodels.com/publications/
