General Description

It 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)

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:


Formel3.4.png


Sigma i.png : 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:

F < 1 : no fracture

F = 1 : fracture limit reached and fracture occurs

F > 1 : fracture limit exceeded
