Sec.6 Failure mechanisms and design criteria – Page 106<br />
3.1.8 Regardless of the analysis method used, these laminates should always be analysed with non-degraded<br />
matrix dominated elastic constants, i.e., E 2 , G 12 , n 12 .<br />
3.2 Fibre failure at the ply level<br />
3.2.1 For single loads, the maximum strain design criterion is given as:<br />

Characteristic value of the axial strain to fibre failure<br />
Partial load effect factor<br />
Partial load-model factor<br />
Partial resistance factor<br />
Partial resistance-model factor, given in [3.2.2] (below).<br />
3.2.2 The selection of the resistance model factor γ Rd depends on the choice of structural analysis method:<br />
— if a linear analysis with non-degraded properties is chosen according to Sec.9 [2.4], then γ Rd = γ A , as<br />
described in Sec.9 [3.2.2]<br />
— in all other cases γ Rd = 1.0.<br />
3.2.3 The maximum strain criterion shall be checked in all n directions parallel to the fibres, and for tensile<br />
and compressive strains.<br />
3.2.4 εˆ k fibre is the time dependent characteristic strength of the ply in fibre direction. It shall be determined<br />
according to Sec.4 [3]. One value for one fibre and weave type.<br />
3.2.5 For N combined loads, with combination j being the worst combination (see Sec.3 [11.2]) the maximum<br />
strain design criterion is given by:<br />

3.2.6 The partial resistance factor γ M shall be the largest value for all load strength combinations - j -.<br />
Guidance note:<br />
In the equation above, it is important to see that the partial resistance factor γ j M , corresponding to the load j alone, is<br />
used as the common partial resistance factor.<br />

3.3.1 In many cases the maximum fibre strain criterion is not available in commercial software packages. As<br />
an alternative the Tsai-Wu criterion may be used with modified input parameters as described here. This<br />
approach was developed by FiReCo AS.<br />
3.3.2 If [3.1.5] is relevant, this criterion may be used to check simultaneously for fibre failure and laminate<br />
failure due to high shear in the plies.<br />
