II.1.10.11 Tsai-Hill criterion (version c)

This criterion is very similar to the one described in section II.1.10.9. The criterion has a failure index calculated as follows:

FITsaiHill_c = σ11 σ11all 2 + σ22 σ22all 2 + τ12 τ12all 2 - σ11σ22 σ11all 2.

The criterion differs from the previous one by the fact that the allowable σ11all is used in the calculation. This allowable is set to σ11t,all or σ11c,all depending on the sign of σ11σ22.

The calculation of reserve factor is as for the more classical Tsai-Hill criterion (II.1.119) and (II.1.120). This criterion is referred to as “TsaiHill_c” criterion in FeResPost.
