A lamina is deemed to have failed when the fibres fracture because the fibres carry the highest stresses.
When predicting the failure of an off-axis lamina it is necessary to calculate the stresses in the principal
directions because these stresses are always greater than the applied stresses.
3. The maximum stress criterion will always predict failure in tension because the longitudinal tensile
strength of a unidirectional ply is greater than the corresponding compressive strength.
4. The Tsai-Hill criterion gives a more accurate prediction for off-axis loading because it does not predict
the mode of failure.
5. Initial failure of a cross-ply laminate can only be predicted by the Tsai-Hill criterion because it
corresponds to transverse ply cracking.

1. Prediction of laminate failure requires an iterative approach because ply stiff nesses are modified as
failures occur.
2. Classical laminate theory cannot predict failure of finite width laminates because it ignores the existence
of through-thickness stresses.
