Duncan-Chang constitutive equations
Kondner and et al. (1963) have shown that the nonlinear stress-strain
curves of both clay and sand may be approximated by hyperbolae with a
high degrss of accuracy.
The hyperbolic equation propose by Kondner was:
1 3 =
+ .

The incremental models described
cannot account for the strain
softening behavior after peak
strength (e.g., for dense sands and
overconsolidated clays).
