Further discussion on newly developed failure criteria for fibrous composites

Recently, a new set of failure criteria was proposed by the authors (Kwon and Darcy in Multiscale Multidiscip Model Exp Des 1(1):3–17, 2018), which was based on a multiscale modeling technique. The failure criteria used stress and strain values at the constituent material levels. This paper presented the failure criteria in terms of a general framework for any reinforced composite material. The paper also discussed progressive failure modeling...
