However, the Tsai–Wu criterion has been used as the point of departure for simplified criteria [18,123], which strongly reduces the number of constants. Fenech and Keaveny [123] used a simplified Tsai–Wu criterion to predict the fracture load on trabecular bovine femurs with less than 20%...
The failurecriteria are determined by the material's strength properties, which are characterized by a set of constants obtained through experimental testing. From a practical standpoint, the Tsai-Wu failure criterion is used in structural analysis and design toensure the safety and reliability of ...
The appropriate formulae are derived and it is explicitly shown how F12 depends on the elastic constants of the maternal. Two other simple geometries are also considered. Numerical estimates from existing experimental data are provided for two graphite/epoxy composites and some comments are made on ...
