A strain-energy based failure criterion for non-linear analysis of composite laminates subjected to biaxial loading
TLDR
In this article, a piecewise cubic spline interpolation scheme has been used to represent the basic material properties along the lamina material axes and a laminated plate theory that includes an iterative incremental constitutive law to account for the non-linear behavior of the lamine is combined with a strain-energy based failure criterion for orthotropic materials.About:

A comparison of the predictive capabilities of current failure theories for composite laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between the predictions of internationally recognised failure theories for fiber-reinforced polymer-composite laminates is presented, and a bar chart is constructed to demonstrate the levels of agreement between the predicted initial and final failure stresses and strains.

A comparison of the predictive capabilities of current failure theories for composite laminates, judged against experimental evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the results from a co-ordinated study, known as the World Wide Failure Exercise, whereby 12 of the leading theories for predicting failure in composite laminates have been tested against experimental evidence.

Failure Models and Criteria for Frp Under In-Plane or Three-Dimensional Stress States Including Shear Non-Linearity
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of failure criteria for laminated fiber-reinforced composites, denoted as LaRC04, is proposed, which are based on physical models for each failure mode and take into consideration non-linear matrix shear behavior.

A General Theory of Strength for Anisotropic Materials

TL;DR: In this article, an operationally simple strength criterion for anisotropic materials is developed from a scalar function of two strength tensors, which satisfies the invariant requirements of coordinate transforma tion, takes into account the difference in strengths due to positive and negative stresses, and can be specialized to account for different material symmetries, multi-dimensional space, and multi-axial stresses.
