N2 - This paper represents the authors’ contribution to Part B of the Second World Wide Failure Exercise (WWFE-II), in which the failure predictions and stress strain curves of twelve test cases are compared with experimental data. The paper briefly reviews the methodology presented in WWFE-II Part A, which includes a semi-analytical stress analysis model and Christensen (2007, 2008)’s failure criteria. A further development in this paper is to introduce a new failure criterion developed also by Christensen (2009) and the application of the criterion in conjunction with the stress model. These failure criteria have no adjustable parameters and only depend upon a minimal number of measurable failure properties.
