Abstract: No constitutive equations can fully represent true triaxial stress-strain curves considering the effects of intermediate principal stress (σ2), and a realistic curvilinear stress-strain relationship is needed for precise analyses of rock structures. Therefore, this study aims to propose a 3D constitutive model with fewer parameters, realistic stress-strain curves, and convex failure envelopes. Our research group previously proposed a simple two-dimensional (2D) constitutive model for rocks to simulate the axial stress–axial strain relationship and axial stress–lateral strain relationship, with few complicated equations. However, the failure envelope it predicted was linear and did not consider the effect of σ2. This simple 2D model is modified in the present study to have a convex failure criterion. Then, the model is extended to a simple three-dimensional (3D) model that approximates true triaxial stress-strain curves for real rocks under specific values of σ2 and minimum principal stress (σ3) and uses only four parameters. However, the predicted peak stress–σ2 relationship is linear. Finally, a modified 3D model is developed, which exhibits the true triaxial convex failure criterion. The equations in this model are simpler than the conventional true triaxial failure criterion, which cannot represent true triaxial stress-strain curves. A method to represent the axial unloading behavior is also proposed. The proposed models can be implemented with a finite element method (FEM) to improve the design of rock structures.
