Hyperbolic strength criterion with cohesion and friction angle degradation
(model  21240  of the Materials Catalog)

       This joint model is defined by:

- Non linear elastic model under normal stress allowing to limit the joint closure to a maximum value e.       
- Hyperbolic strength criterion generalizing the Mohr-Coulomb model. It is defined by a cohesion
, tensile strength and asymptotic friction angle
- Non associate plastic potential with a dilation angle different from the friction angle
- Cohesion and friction angle degradation from initial values to smaller residual values
- A maximum shear stress followed by a cohesion degradation phase 



This joint model is able to represent the Braton-Bandis model of rock-joints.
