The yield or failure criterion can be expressed as ____________

(a) f(I1,I2)=0

(b) f(I1,I2,I3)=0

(c) f(σ1,σ2,σ3)=0

(d) f(σmax +σmin)

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

I need to ask this question from The Mohr in section Failure Envelopes & Earth Pressure of Geotechnical Engineering II

Right answer is (b) f(I1,I2,I3)=0

The best explanation: The yield criterion may be expressed as f (I1, I2, I3) = 0

Where I1, I2, I3 are the invariant of stress.
