II.1.10.26 Honeycomb simplified shear criterion

Sometimes, one simplifies the criterion described in section II.1.10.25 by using the smallest shear allowable τW . This new criterion is referred to as “HoneyShear_b”.

As a single allowable is used, an equivalent shear stress can be defined:

τshear = τ13 2 + τ23 2. (II.1.132)

The failure index is then calculated as follows:

FIHoneyShear_b = τshear τ23all .

Core passes the failure criterion if the following condition is satisfied

τ132 + τ232 τ23all.

The reserve factor is calculated as follows:

RFHoneyShear_b = 1 FoS FIHoneyShear_b,

and the strength ratio is given by:

SRHoneyShear_b = FoS FIHoneyShear_b.

This criterion is referred to as “HoneyShear_b” in FeResPost.
