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.〔 This failure criterion is a specialization of the general quadratic failure criterion proposed by Gol'denblat and Kopnov〔 and can be expressed in the form : where and repeated indices indicate summation, and are experimentally determined material strength parameters. The stresses are expressed in Voigt notation. If the failure surface is to be closed and convex, the interaction terms must satisfy : which implies that all the terms must be positive. == Tsai–Wu failure criterion for orthotropic materials == For orthotropic materials with three planes of symmetry oriented with the coordinate directions, if we assume that and that there is no coupling between the normal and shear stress terms (and between the shear terms), the general form of the Tsai–Wu failure criterion reduces to : Let the failure strength in uniaxial tension and compression in the three directions of anisotropy be . Also, let us assume that the shear strengths in the three planes of symmetry are (and have the same magnitude on a plane even if the signs are different). Then the coefficients of the orthotropic Tsai–Wu failure criterion are : The coefficients can be determined using equibiaxial tests. If the failure strengths in equibiaxial tension are then : The near impossibility of performing these equibiaxial tests has led to there being a severe lack of experimental data on the parameters . It can be shown that the Tsai-Wu criterion is a particular case of the generalized Hill yield criterion.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsai–Wu failure criterion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
