Modeling of brittle failure based on a Hoek & Brown yield criterion
Parametric studies and constitutive validation
Hoek & Brown (HB) failure criteria have been employed over the past decades in common engineering applications due to their extended capability to capture the non-linear yielding of different types of rocks. Often implemented within a perfect plastic framework, this constitutive

This paper discusses some numerical analyses performed with a generalized three-dimensional Hoek & Brown (HB) model which strength criterion has been considered to simulate the mechanical behavior of rocks in brittle conditions. For this purpose, this constitutive framework has b
