✦ Synopsis

It has been two decades since the first presentation of "A new model and theory on yield and failure of materials under complex stress state" at ICM-6 held at Kyoto, Japan in 1991. The twin-shear element model and a new strength theory were proposed at ICM-6. However, only the two equations were introduced, the characteristics and its applications of this strength theory have not been studied in details. A great deal of researches on this new strength theory and its applications are developed since then by Yu and other scholars at other Universities and Institutes in some countries. Some behaviour of the unified strength theory are described here. The advances in the unified strength theory and its applications are summarized briefly in the framework of continuum mechanics and engineering application.
