Hashin’s Failure Criteria for Unidirectional Fibre Composites

These are interacting failure criteria where more than one stress components have

been used to evaluate the different failure modes. These criteria were originally

developed for unidirectional polymeric composites, and hence, applications to other type

of laminates and non-polymeric composites have significant approximations. Usually

Hashin criteria are implemented within two dimensional classical lamination approaches

for point stress calculations with ply discounting as the material degradation model.

Failure indices for Hashin criteria are related to fibre and matrix failures and involve four

failure modes. The criteria are extended to three dimensional problems where the

maximum stress criteria are used for transverse normal stress component.

The failure modes included in Hashin’s criteria are as follows.

where, σij denote the stress components and the tensile and compressive allowable

strengths for lamina are denoted by subscripts T and C, respectively. XT, YT, ZT denotes

the allowable tensile strengths in three respective material directions. Similarly, XC, YC,

ZC denotes the allowable tensile strengths in three respective material directions. Further,

S12, S13 and S23 denote allowable shear strengths in the respective principal material

directions.
