Assessment of Theories of Failure for Multi-Directional Composites Laminates: A Fuzzy - AHP Approach

Abstract:

In this research, the analysis has been made amongst the different 'theories of failure' for composite materials. All theories which include bi-axial strength envelopes and stress–strain curves for a range of multi-directional laminates, loaded under uni-axial or bi-axial conditions.The predictions and experimental data have been analyzed, to identify the strengths and weakness, together with a ranking of the overall effectiveness of each theory, which has been made by the AHP-MCDM tool to facilitate the reader to select the best theory for given design situation.
