Strength Theories of Failure for Anisotropic Materials

A discussion of several failure criteria from their initial application to homogeneous, orthotropic materials to their extension to “quasi-homogeneous,” anisotropic materials is presented. Also discussed are the assumptions, general limitations, and the physical and analytical significance of the respective “material constants.” The basic criteria include the Lame'-Navier maximum stress theory, Henky-von Mises distortional energy theory, Tresca maximum shear stress theory, and the St. Venant maximum strain stream theory.
