Macroscopic material failure is defined in terms of load carrying capacity or energy storage capacity, equivalently. Li [2] presents a classification of macroscopic failure criteria in four categories: Stress or strain failure; Energy type failure (S-criterion, T-criterion) Damage failure; Empirical failure
The Christensen failure criterion is a material failure theory for isotropic materials that attempts to span the range from ductile to brittle materials. [1] It has a two-property form calibrated by the uniaxial tensile and compressive strengths T ( σ T ) {\displaystyle \left(\sigma _{T}\right)} and C ( σ C ) {\displaystyle \left(\sigma _{C ...
The Tsai–Wu failure criterion is a phenomenological material failure theory which is widely used for anisotropic composite materials which have different strengths in tension and compression. [1] The Tsai-Wu criterion predicts failure when the failure index in a laminate reaches 1.
Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material. [1]
The T-failure criterion is a set of material failure criteria that can be used to predict both brittle and ductile failure. [1] [2]These criteria were designed as a replacement for the von Mises yield criterion which predicts the unphysical result that pure hydrostatic tensile loading of metals never leads to failure.
The Tsai hill criterion is interactive, i.e. the stresses in different directions are not decoupled and do affect the failure simultaneously. [2] Furthermore, it is a failure mode independent criterion, as it does not predict the way in which the material will fail, as opposed to mode-dependent criteria such as the Hashin criterion, or the Puck ...
Hierarchy of micromechanics-based analysis procedure for composite structures. The theory of micro-mechanics of failure aims to explain the failure of continuous fiber reinforced composites by micro-scale analysis of stresses within each constituent material (such as fiber and matrix), and of the stresses at the interfaces between those constituents, calculated from the macro stresses at the ...
It represents the width of a probability density function (PDF) in which a higher modulus is a characteristic of a narrower distribution of values. Use case examples include biological and brittle material failure analysis, where modulus is used to describe the variability of failure strength for materials.
