German abstract:
A failure criterion for anisotropic materials under combined stress is developed and demonstrated. The
generality and accuracy of the present theory are illustrated by examination through the use of material
systems under various loading conditions. Calculated results are compared with the experimental data
throughout four quadrants. It agrees with observation quite well at high values of shear stress, where
the Tsai-HiII theory becomes too conservative. The present criterion is also compared with other criteria.
The comparison shows that this criterion has a good agreement with the experimental data even when
the shear stress component is greater than the shear strength.
