Sec.9 Structural analysis – Page 147<br />

Guidance note:<br />

Examples on problems that may be analysed by the through thickness 2-D approach include several adhesive bonded<br />

joints with a width to thickness ratio that is much larger than unity and certain effects related to bolted joints, including<br />

pre-tension, in which symmetric conditions along axes prevail.<br />

2.7.3 All the analysis methods that are applicable for in-plane 2-D problems (presented in [2.2], [2.4], [2.5]<br />

and [2.6]) may be adopted to through thickness 2-D analysis.<br />

2.7.4 The simplifications introduced in the through thickness analysis shall be carefully investigated to ensure<br />

that no crucial effect is lost.<br />

3 Connection between analysis methods and failure criteria<br />

3.1 General<br />

3.1.1 In this section the connection between the analysis methods from [2] and the failure criteria from Sec.6<br />

is presented, see Table 9-2.<br />

3.1.2 Progressive failure analysis is applicable for all kinds of failure criteria.<br />

3.1.3 However, as can be seen from Table 9-2, the simplified analysis methods are also applicable in<br />

conjunction with several failure criteria.<br />

Table 9-2 Analysis methods and their failure criteria<br />

Analysis Method Failure Progressive Linear non-degraded Linear degraded Two-step non-linear<br />

criteria<br />

Fibre failure Yes Yes (see [3.2.1]) Yes Yes<br />

Matrix cracking and Yes First occurrence No (it is assumed that First occurrence<br />

delamination<br />

matrix cracking has<br />

already occurred)<br />

Yielding Yes Onset of yielding No (see above) Onset of yielding<br />

Maximum deformation Yes No Yes Yes<br />

3.2 Modification of failure criteria<br />

3.2.1 In order to obtain conservative predictions of fibre failure from the linear non-degraded method (see<br />

[2.4.7] and [2.4.9]) a partial analysis factor, γ A , shall be introduced for the fibre failure criterion related to each<br />

fibre direction of the laminate.<br />

3.2.2 For each fibre direction of the laminate the partial analysis factor shall be given by<br />

γ A = E lin /E nonlin ,<br />

where E lin and E nonlin are laminate moduli (stiffness) related to loading in the fibre direction of consideration.<br />

E lin is the laminate stiffness based on initial (non-degraded) ply properties, while E nonlin is the reduced laminate<br />

stiffness obtained from degraded ply properties (see [2.5.5]). A further explanation is provided by Figure 1 and<br />

the guidance note below.<br />

Guidance note:<br />

The introduction of partial analysis factors, γ A, above may be thought of as a reduction of the effective strain to failure<br />

from εˆ toεˆ<br />

corr (mean values). Figure 9-1 shows a typical laminate stress-strain curve for a laminate containing 0, 45<br />

and 90 layers when loaded in the 0 direction.<br />

A partial analysis factor shall be calculated for each fibre direction of the laminate, which in this example corresponds<br />

to obtaining laminate stress-strain relations for loading in the 0, 45 and 90 degrees directions for the laminate in Figure<br />

9-1.<br />
