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 />
