ShearCrimpingCriterion

class ansys.dpf.composites.failure_criteria.ShearCrimpingCriterion(*, kc=1.0, kf=0.0, wf=1.0)

Defines the shear crimping failure criterion for sandwich structures.

Parameters:

• kc (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the core material for evaluation of the maximum allowable load. The default is 1.

• kf (float, default: 0.0) – Weighting factor of the face sheets for evaluation of the maximum allowable load. The default is 0 so the face sheet does not contribute to the allowable load. This property is valid for thin face sheets.

• wf (float, default: 1.0) – Weighting factor of the failure mode (wb or wt).

Methods

ShearCrimpingCriterion.to_dict()
ShearCrimpingCriterion.to_json()
