II.1.10.19 Puck “c” criterion

Sometimes, an additional term is given in the expression corresponding to the fiber failure and the modified version of Puck criterion is defined as follows:

FIPuck_c = max σ11 σ11all , σ11 2σ11t,all 2 + σ222 σ22c,allσ22t,all + τ12 τ12all 2 + σ 22 1 σ22t,all - 1 σ22c,all .

Ply passes the failure criterion if the two following conditions are satisfied

σ11 σ11all,
σ11 2σ11t,all 2 + σ222 σ22c,allσ22t,all + τ12 τ12all 2 + σ 22 1 σ22t,all - 1 σ22c,all 1.

The calculation of reserve factor is done as for version “b” of Puck criterion, but one uses a modified expression for a parameter:

a = σ11 2σ11t,all 2 + σ222 σ22c,allσ22t,all + τ12 τ12all 2.

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