A general procedure for developing constitutive models for frictional materials possessing a critical state is developed in a three-dimensional context. The procedure starts from the laws of thermo-dynamics, so that the first and second laws of thermo-dynamics are automatically satisfied. There is hence no need to invoke any extraneous stability postulates. The models involve a number of parameters, which can be interpreted in terms of micro-mechanical energy storage and dissipative mechanisms. In most cases non-associated flow rules are predicted and in some cases the yield surfaces are seen to have concave segments. The procedure is more general than that traditionally used for materials with non-associated flow rules, in that plastic potentials are not needed and not presumed to exist. In illustration, examples of families of models are given in which the critical state surface is either the Drucker-Prager or the Matsuoka-Nakai cone. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
