#ABAQUS TUTORIALS: COMPOSITES MODULE 7 - Design Analyses of a Aircraft Wing Using Failure Indices

Here we discuss several composites failure criteria that can be used to predict first ply failure. We discuss Tsai-Wu, Tsai-Hill, and maximum stress criteria. We model an airplane wing to illustrate the overall procedure on how to design a system that meet the criteria. Mr. Wei guides us through these tutorials. Failure indices are discussed in-depth here:    • Mechanics of Composite Materials: Lecture ...   Lecture going thru Classical Laminate Theory provided here    • Mechanics of Composite Materials: Lecture ...   Lecture providing ASTM standards to estimate strength data for failure theories can be found here and also a discussion on statistical A-Basis Allowable:    • Mechanics of Composite Materials:  Lecture...   Files for CAD models used in this tutorial are provided here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...
