Hi,
I'm trying to find out for what assumptions the von Mises yield criterion equals the Tsai Wu failure criterion.
Say you have a FE tsai-wu plot and a von Mises plot.
Under what circumstances would the color plot look the same?

Is it so that if you assume plane stress and input isotropic material properties into the Tsai-Wu criteria the result will be the same as von Mises yield criteria?
