A General Theory of Strength for Anisotropic Materials
Stephen W. Tsai,Edward M. Wu +1 more
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.
