Prediction of the Plastic Component Parts Durability with Use of a Drop Test Simulation

I found this to be a good explanation of calculating linear Drucker Prager variables for Abaqus.

One limitation is that the authors assume the stress ratio is 1 so they don't have to do compression testing. When compression is included, the stress ratio is defined as SR=St/Sc.
