class ansys.dpf.composites.failure_criteria.PuckCriterion(*, pf=True, pma=True, pmb=True, pmc=True, pd=False, dim=2, wf_pf=1.0, wf_pma=1.0, wf_pmb=1.0, wf_pmc=1.0, wf_pd=1.0, cfps=True, s=0.5, M=0.5, interface_weakening_factor=0.8, force_global_constants=False, p21_neg=0.275, p21_pos=0.325, p22_neg=0.225, p22_pos=0.225)

Defines the Puck failure criterion for UD reinforced materials.

Parameters:

• pf (bool, default: True) – Whether to activate the failure evaluation regarding fiber failure.

• pma (bool, default: True) – Whether to activate the failure evaluation regarding matrix failure due to tension.

• pmb (bool, default: True) – Whether to activate the failure evaluation regarding matrix failure due to compression.

• pmc (bool, default: True) – Whether to activate the failure evaluation regarding matrix failure due to shear failure.

• pd (bool, default: False) – Whether to activate the failure evaluation regarding delamination if dim is equal to 3.

• dim (int, default: 2) – Whether the 2D or 3D formulation of the criterion is used. The latter one also supports the failure mode delamination. Use 1 for a simplified Puck criterion.

• wf_pf (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the fiber failure (pf) mode.

• wf_pma (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the matrix failure (pma) mode.

• wf_pmb (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the matrix failure (pmb) mode.

• wf_pmc (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the matrix failure (pmc) mode.

• wf_pd (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the delamination failure (pd) mode.

• cfps (bool, default: True) – Whether to consider inter-fiber strength reduction due to fiber parallel stresses.

• s (float, default: 0.5) – Specifies the effect of fiber parallel stresses regarding inter-fiber failure. s = [0, 1) and the default is 0.5.

• m – Specifies the effect of fiber parallel stresses regarding inter-fiber failure. M = [0, 1). The default is 0.5.

• interface_weakening_factor (float, default: 0.8) – Multiplicator for the interlaminar strength if failure mode pd is active. The default is 0.8.

• force_global_constants (bool, default: False) – Whether to use global constants instead of the material-wise properties.

• p21_neg (float, default: 0.275) – Global inclination factor in the \(\sigma_1 - \tau_{12}\) plane at \(\sigma_2 = 0\) for compression.

• p21_pos (float, default: 0.325) – Global inclination factor in the \(\sigma_1 - \tau_{12}\) plane at \(\sigma_2 = 0\) for tension.,

• p22_neg (float, default: 0.225) – Global inclination factor of the fracture plane \(\perp \perp\) for compression.

• p22_pos (float, default: 0.225) – Global inclination factor of the fracture plane \(\perp \perp\) for tension.
