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,
Hans Henning
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/
Thank you David and Hans for your comments.
Your answers help me a lot.
