Users:General FEM Analysis/Materials Reference/Puck Failure Criterion

is based on Mohr‘s fracture hypothesis 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)
