TECHNICAL NOTE
INTRODUCTION

At the ultimate strain (corresponding to the
ultimate stress) x = xu

x = xlim

For rocks, the rate of decrease of the secant
modulus at x = xe is very low, so that the condition
of zero derivative at x = xe is assumed
condition 6a:
condition 6b:
d(y=x)

d2 y=dx2 < 0
To improve the accuracy of the prediction at small
strains, additional conditions should be imposed on
the curve at the linear elastic strain limit x = xe .
