INRODUCION his curse fcuses n presenting a well established cmputatinal methd fr calculating stresses/strains in reinfrced laminated cmpsite structures. he basis fr the presented cmputatinal methd is ften referred t as classical laminatin thery. A clear understanding f this apprach is supprted by the develpment f the fundamental mechanics f an rthtrpic lamina (ply). Varius failure theries are presented each requiring that stresses/strains be quantified n a ply-by-ply basis in rder t make failure predictins. Bth applied lads and hygrthermal (thermal and misture) effects are treated in the cmputatinal prcedure.

www.pdhcenter.cm PDH Curse M37 www.pdhnline.rg It is imprtant t nte a limitatin n the cmputatinal methdlgy presented in this curse. Stress predictins frm classical laminatin thery are quite accurate in lcatins away frm bundaries, e.g., free edges, edge f a hle r cutut, etc., f the laminate. hus at distances equal t the laminate plate(shell) thickness r greater, the cmputatinal methd presented herein is accurate and useful in the preliminary design f laminated cmpsite structures. he basis fr this limitatin is that laminatin thery assumes a generalized state f plane stress which is reasnably accurate away frm bundaries. Alng bundaries, the state f stress becmes three-dimensinal with the pssibility that interlaminar shear and/r interlaminar nrmal stresses can becme significant. Deviatin f laminatin thery alng laminate bundaries is ften referred t as a bundary-layer phenmenn. Cmputatin f stresses alng laminate bundaries is generally accmplished thrugh the applicatin f finite difference, finite element r bundary element methd cmputer prgrams and is beynd the scpe f the methdlgy presented in this curse.. MAERIA DEFINIIONS A lamina r ply can be thught f as a single layer within a cmpsite laminate and is cmprised f a matrix material and reinfrcing fibers. When the fibers are lng the layer is referred t as a cntinuus-fiber-reinfrced cmpsite and the matrix serves primarily t bind the fibers tgether. Alternatively layers with shrt fibers are dented as discntinuus-fiber-reinfrced cmpsites. amina are quite thin, i.e., generally n the rder f mm r.5 in. thick. amina can have unidirectinal r multi-directinal fiber reinfrcement. herefre a number f lamina bnded tgether frm a laminate. Mst laminated cmpsites used in structural applicatins are in fact multilayered. aminates have identical cnstituent materials in each ply; therwise the term hybrid laminate is used fr laminates cmprised f plies with different cnstituent materials. Fiber reinfrced cmpsites are hetergeneus but fr purpses f design analysis are typically assumed t be macrscpically hmgeneus. hus fr the cmputatinal methdlgy presented in this curse, rthtrpic lamina (plies) are treated as hmgenus with directinally dependent prperties. Orthtrpic material behavir falls smewhere between that f istrpic and anistrpic materials.. Istrpic Material Behavir Fr istrpic materials defrmatin behavir is independent f directin. hus nrmal stresses prduce nrmal strains nly and shear stresses prduce shear strains nly, as depicted in the figure belw.

When lads are applied in these natural crdinates the material respnse is similar t that f istrpic materials, i.e., nrmal stresses prduce nrmal strains nly and shear stresses prduce shear strains nly as shwn belw.

In-plane shear stiffness G and shear strength τ values can be btained frm a number f different types f tests, including trsin tube [], rail shear [], Isipescu [3,4], Arcan [5], ff-axis specimen [6] and ± 45 specimen [7]. As nted in [7], the ± 45 specimen des nt require any specialized fixtures and is therefre used ften t determine the in-plane shear stressstrain respnse f cmpsite materials. he relevant test methd is ASM D358/D358M-94() Standard est Methd fr In-Plane Shear Respnse f Plymer Matrix Cmpsite Materials by ensile est f ± 45 aminate. his standard test methd is based n measuring the uniaxial stress-strain respnse f a ± 45 laminate which is symmetrically laminated abut the mid-plane. Obtaining shear stress/strain data using the ff-axis specimen requires that blique end tabs be used in rder t achieve a hmgeneus strain field ver the entire specimen [8-]. Since failure theries fr cmpsite materials invlve strengths in material - crdinates, design calculatins require transfrmatin f the stress field frm sme - crdinate system t - crdinates. Failure criteria used in the design f cmpsite materials are thus written in terms f stresses in material crdinates rather than in terms f principal stresses, as is the case fr istrpic materials. Jhn J. Engblm Page 5 f 9
www.pdhcenter.cm PDH Curse M37 www.pdhnline.rg It may be bvius but is useful t pint ut that a uniaxial stress applied in any ff-axis directin, i.e., nt alng a material axis, prduces a multiaxial stress state in - crdinates. herefre, an apprpriate failure thery must be used even fr this simple lading cnditin. Failure theries fr rthtrpic materials can be represented as theretical failure envelpes in stress space. hese failure envelpes are similar t yield surface envelpes used t represent the terminatin f linear elastic behavir fr istrpic materials. A number f strength (failure) theries, widely used in the design f fiber reinfrced cmpsite structures, will nw be presented. hese appraches can be brken int separable theries, i.e., thse that can identify the mde f failure, and thse that are mre generalized in that they identify a failure limit but d nt separate ut r identify any particular failure mde. An estimatin f the use f varius failure criteria by peple wrking in the cmpsites design field has been reprted, see Paris []. his estimatin rated the relative utilizatin f the varius criteria as fllws: maximum strain 3% use; maximum stress 3% use; sai-hill 8% use; sai-wu 3% use; and all thers 9% use. he maximum strain and maximum stress failure theries are herein dented as separable failure theries, whereas the sai-hill and sai-wu failure theries are dented as generalized failure theries. w ther failure theries t be presented herein, which are included in all thers regarding their utilizatin by designers, are dented the Hashin failure thery and the Chang failure thery. Each f these failure theries are defined as separable failure theries. It is interesting t nte that in a review f research papers the majrity f researchers base their prpsals n variatins f Hashin s criteria []. 6. Separable Strength (Failure) heries 6.. Maximum Stress hery In this thery the ntin is that failure ccurs if any f the stresses in the natural (material) crdinates exceeds the crrespnding allwable stress. In rder t avid failure, the fllwing inequalities must be satisfied < < U (6.) τ < τ When the nrmal stresses are cmpressive, and U are replaced with the allwable cmpressive stresses as belw < < U (6.) Jhn J. Engblm Page 6 f 9

As an example f applying this failure thery, cnsider the E-glass epxy material f the previus example. he strength prperties are given as U U τ 6MPa(54.Psi) 6MPa(88.5Psi) 3MPa(4.5Psi) 8MPa(7.Psi) 7MPa(.45Psi) Cnsider an rthtrpic lamina subjected t a stress making an angle θ with the lngitudinal fiber directin as illustrated in the sketch belw.

www.pdhcenter.cm PDH Curse M37 www.pdhnline.rg At small values f θ the lad is parallel r nearly parallel with the lngitudinal fiber directin. he difference in tensile and cmpressive strengths at these lw angles is attributable t different failure mdes in tensin and cmpressin fr this particular cmpsite material. Failure in tensin is characterized by fiber fracture while failure in cmpressin is characterized by fiber micr-buckling. his result wuld nt be the case fr all cmpsite materials and certainly wuld nt be expected fr istrpic materials. he difference in tensile and cmpressive strengths at large angles f θ is again attributable t differences in tensile and cmpressive failure mdes in the transverse () directin. Relatively lw tensile strength in the transverse directin f a lamina (ply) is typical as the matrix material fractures with multiple cracks frming parallel t the fiber reinfrcement. his effect is minimized in cmpsite structures by stacking plies at varying angles t achieve quasi-istrpic behavir. 6.. Maximum Strain hery his failure criterin states that failure ccurs when strains in any f the natural (material) axes exceeds the crrespnding allwable strain. hus the fllwing inequalities must be satisfied t avid failure < < U (6.6) γ < γ If the nrmal strains are cmpressive, then and U are replaced by the allwable cmpressive strains as belw < < U (6.7) Again cnsider an rthtrpic lamina subjected t a stress making an angle θ with the lngitudinal fiber directin (see Figure 6.). Substituting values fr the stresses in material crdinates int the cmpliance equatins (3.9) yields the fllwing. E γ E γ γ E E G cs θ sin θ x sinθ csθ (6.8) Jhn J. Engblm Page 9 f 9

U U τ G γ hus, in this example, the maximum strain criteria given in (6.9) reduces t < (cs θ ν sin θ ) U < (6.) (sin θ ν cs θ ) < τ sinθ csθ When the applied stress is cmpressive, the first f these tw inequalities are mdified by replacing the tensile strength values with their crrespnding cmpressive strength values. he third inequality in (6.) remains unchanged as it invlves the limit n shear strain which is unaffected by whether r nt the lading is tensile r cmpressive. he maximum strain criteria fr cmpressive lads becmes Jhn J.

Cmparing the maximum strain criteria t the maximum stress criteria, we see that the criteria lk identical except fr the Pissn s rati terms. herefre the differences in the failure predictins f these tw theries are minimal. It shuld be nted, hwever, that if the cmpsite material des nt behave linearly elastic t failure then the predictins can be quite different. Cnsidering the same E-glass epxy lamina, again fr any particular value f θ, the inequality giving the lwest value f strength is the apprpriate failure predictin. he ff-axis strength predictins using the maximum strain criteria are pltted belw fr values f θ ranging frm t 9. he strength results are again pltted in terms f nrmalized stress /.

Engblm Page 3 f 9
www.pdhcenter.cm PDH Curse M37 www.pdhnline.rg As a third example f a separable failure criteria, cnsider the quadratic strength thery as develped by Hashin []. In this criteria, there is cupling between extensinal and shear mdes f failure. It is nt uncmmn in applying Hashin s failure thery t replace the transverse (ut-fplane) shear strength τ U with the in-plane shear strength value τ. his assumptin mdifies Hashin s cmpressive matrix failure predictin. his is t sme extent due t the difficulty in experimentally quantifying the transverse shear strength. Als there is sme questin as t the lgic f including an ut-f-plane strength term in a tw dimensinal plane stress frmulatin. In any event, there is a certain cmpensatin f errrs in replacing τ U with τ in Hashin s -D frmulatin []. Hashin based his frmulatin n lgical reasning rather than micrmechanics. his criteria has been successfully applied t prgressive failure analysis f varying laminate ply lay-ups by using in-situ unidirectinal strengths [3]. Use f in-situ strengths prvides a methd t accunt fr the cnstraining interactins between plies. he gverning equatins are listed belw fr a biaxial state f stress.

Assuming that τ U τ and using the same E-glass epxy prperties, the inequality giving the lwest value f strength is the apprpriate failure predictin. Jhn J. Engblm Page 3 f 9

Slving fr the nrmalized stress gives (6.) 4 sin θ sin θ cs θ τ U Finally, fr the cmpressive matrix failure mde in this example we have frm (6.6) 4τ sin 4 U θ sin θ cs θ sin 4 θ τ τ U (6.) As can be seen, (6.) is a quadratic equatin which can be slved fr. Again nte that the inequality giving the lwest value f strength is the apprpriate failure predictin. Results are pltted belw fr the E-glass epxy lamina. he Hashin quadratic criteria is cmpared t results previusly btained using the maximum stress criteria. It can be bserved that the failure predictins are in clse agreement fr applied cmpressive stresses, hwever the maximum stress thery ver predicts strength in this example when the applied stresses are tensile in nature.

Nrmalized Stress / Related t Off-Axis Angleθ, Hashin uadratic vs. Maximum Stress Failure heries here is evidence that when a cmpsite is subjected t a cmbined, τ lading, it becmes strnger when is cmpressive. his implies that the in-plane shear stress τ at failure crrespnding t is appreciably greater than the shear stress τ at failure crrespnding t [4].

Fr additinal insight int this particular mdificatin t Hashin s criteria and int ther alternative criteria requiring mre extensive experimentatin see [,3,4]. 6..4 Chang uadratic hery As a furth and final example f a separable failure criteria, cnsider the quadratic thery as develped by Chang et al. [7-8]. Actually the Chang criteria presented here evlves frm the references cited and is the versin used in the finite element based cmputer cde MSC Dytran, see []. his criteria is a mdificatin t Hashin s criteria and therefre cuples the extensinal and shear mdes f failure. he gverning equatins are listed belw fr the biaxial state f plane stress.

www.pdhcenter.cm PDH Curse M37 www.pdhnline.rg Observe that fr α these failure criteria reduce t Hashin s criteria except that the inplane shear strength τ replaces the transverse (ut-f-plane) shear strengthτ U. Furthermre, fr shear dminated failures where τ is the dminant stress and τ τ the Chang criteria again reduces t the Hashin criteria. As befre cnsider an rthtrpic lamina subjected t a stress making an angle θ with the lngitudinal fiber directin (see Figure 6.). Using the same E-glass epxy prperties, the inequality giving the lwest value f strength prvides the apprpriate failure predictin. Substituting stresses in material ( ) crdinates frm (6.3) int (6.4) gives cs 4 θ sin θ cs θ ( ) θ τ (6.9) Fr (θ ) we have the fllwing. 3 αg sin cs θ θ ( θ ) (6.3) 3 αg τ Rearranging (6.9) yields the nrmalized stress fr the tensile fiber failure mde as (6.3) 4 cs θ sin θ cs θ ( θ ) τ Substituting the stresses int (6.5) gives the criteria fr tensile matrix failure as U sin 4 θ sin θ cs θ ( ) θ τ (6.3) and slving fr the nrmalized stress gives (6.33) 4 sin θ sin θ cs θ ( θ ) U τ Finally, fr the cmpressive matrix failure mde in this example we have frm (6.6) Jhn J.

Again nte that the inequality giving the lwest value f strength is the apprpriate failure predictin. Results are pltted belw fr the Chang quadratic criteria and are cmpared t the results previusly btained using the Hashin criteria. he cefficient α is based n a least squares fit t experimental data btained fr E-glass epxy [7]. Nte that cmpressive fiber failure is nt cnsidered by the Chang failure criteria. hus fr small values f θ (less than 6 in this example), the Chang criteria makes n valid predictin and the limiting failure curve fr cmpressive lading is simply cut ff fr small values f θ. In this particular example, the Chang and Hashin criteria are in clse agreement. Hwever, it shuld be nted that while all f the failure criteria under cnsideratin can be implemented in a material nnlinear analysis, nnlinear material behavir is explicit in the Chang criteria due t the representatin f shear behavir in (6.8). hus the results btained in this example with the Chang criteria are versimplified because the results are based simply n a linear analysis using classical laminatin thery..

Generalized Strength (Failure) heries 6.. sai-hill hery A failure thery fr anistrpic materials was prpsed by Hill [9]. he thery as prpsed is actually a yield criteria but in the cntext f cmpsite materials the yield strengths are treated as limits n linear elastic behavir. herefre Hill s yield strengths are treated herein as failure strengths. Hill s yield criteria is an extensin f the well knwn and much applied vn Mises yield criteria fr istrpic materials. he vn Mises criteria is related t distrtinal strain energy and nt t dilatatin (change in vlume). In the case f rthtrpic materials distrtinal and dilatatinal effects can nt be separated, thus this thery as applied t cmpsite materials is nt a distrtinal energy thery. he failure strength parameters in Hill s thery were first related t the failure strengths f an rthtrpic lamina by sai []. hus this failure thery fr rthtrpic lamina is referred t as the sai-hill thery. It is als referred t as the maximum wrk thery. Experimental supprt fr this thery has been demnstrated by several authrs, e.g., []. Hill s criteria fr yielding f anistrpic materials has the frm ( G H ) τ ( F H ) Mτ Nτ ( F G) < H G F (6.35) he failure strength parameters can be related t the usual failure strengths by cnsidering the separate applicatin f simple stress states.

Failure is initiated when the inequality belw is vilated. U τ τ < (6.43) When nrmal stresses are cmpressive, the tensile strengths are replaced with cmpressive strengths. It is interesting t see that the sai-hill thery reduces t the vn Mises thery fr istrpic materials by making the fllwing substitutins τ U (6.44) where and are the principal stresses fr the istrpic material and the yield strength. Fr an istrpic material, (6.43) then reduces t the vn Mises yield criteria as belw < (6.45) he sai-hill failure thery given in (6.43) prvides a single functin t predict strength.
