Optimal design and testing of laminated specimens to evaluate competing composite failure criteria
Optimization methods are used to find areas of maximum disagreement between the failure criteria of Tsai and Hart-Smith. The Tsai criterion is quadratic in the stresses and employs a selective and progressive ply-by-ply degradation scheme to predict ultimate load. Hart-Smith’s criterion is based on...
