General Description
Puck Failure Criterion [1] [2] [3] is based on Mohr‘s fracture hypothesis [4] which is appropriate for brittle fracture behaviour of composite materials. It can distinguish between fibre fracture and different inter-fibre fracture. Both 2D and 3D formulations are implemented into Carat++. Available fracture modes for 2D Puck Criterion are:
- Fibre Fracture (FF)
- Inter Fibre Fracture Mode A (IFF A)
- Inter Fibre Fracture Mode B (IFF B)
- Inter Fibre Fracture Mode C (IFF C)
Available fracture modes for 3D Puck Criterion are:
- Fibre Fracture (FF)
- Inter Fibre Fracture (IFF)
Stresses on the Fracture Plane
Stresses of the action plane [5]
Strength Analysis
In order to judge if a stress vector on the stress spce is leading to damage, a mathematical expression is needed. This expression is called fracture condition an is written as the following general form:
: Components of stress vector
Ri. : Strengths under corresponding stresses
F : Fracture function
There are 6 main strengths that should be related to the occurring stress state:
The general form of fracture condition can also be rewritten as following:
F < 1 : no fracture
F = 1 : fracture limit reached and fracture occurs
F > 1 : fracture limit exceeded
