Many commonly used criteria for fiber-reinforced composites belong to a subset of fully interactive criteria called quadratic criteria. The general form of quadratic criteria can be expressed as a second-order polynomial.

Analytical & Numerical Modeling Methodology

The quadratic failure criteria in ACP ( Tsai-Wu , Tsai-Hill , and Hoffman ) differ in how the coefficients and are defined. Generally, the coefficients and are determined so that the value of the failure criterion function corresponds to the material strength when a unidirectional stress state is present. However, not all coefficients can be determined in this way.

Finite Element Results & Code Compliance

For the plane stress-state the Tsai-Wu criterion coefficients have the values The coefficient cannot be obtained directly from the failure stresses of uniaxial load cases. For accurate results it should be determined through biaxial load tests. In practice, it is often given in the form of a non-dimensional interaction coefficient: To insure that the criterion represents a closed conical failure surface, the value of must be within the range . However, the value range for physically meaningful material behavior is more limited. The often used value corresponds to a "generalized Von Mises criterion". The final Tsai-Wu constant becomes -1 as used in Equation 5–43 . Similarly , can be dealt with using the corresponding values and , which leads to the Tsai-Wu 3D expression: In the Tsai-Hill criterion, either tensile or compressive strengths are used for determining the coefficients depending on the loading condition. The coefficients are: The Tsai-Hill failure criterion differentiates between UD and woven plies. The Tsai-Hill failure criterion function for UD plies can be written in the form For the full 3D case, the following formulation can be used, as in : The Hoffman criterion defines the biaxial coefficients , , and with the following material strength expressions for the 3D stress state: Defines the configuration for the Tsai-Wu failure criterion for reinforced materials.
