This paper proposes a modified return mapping algorithm for a series of nonlinear yield criteria. The algorithm is established in the principal stress space and ignores the effect of the intermediate principal stress. Three stress return schemes are derived in this paper: return to the yield surface, return to the curve, and return to the apex point. The conditions used for determining the correct stress return type are also constructed. After the proposed algorithm is programmed in the finite element software, we merely need the equivalent Mohr–Coulomb (M-C) strength parameters, the derivatives of their functions, and the tensile strength of these nonlinear yield criteria. In addition, the Hoek–Brown (H-B) yield criterion is taken as an example to validate the proposed method. The results show that the updated stresses and the final principal stresses obtained by the proposed method are in good agreement with those obtained by other methods. Furthermore, the proposed method is more suitable for the associated plastic-flow rule.
