TY  - JOUR
AB  - In   this   research,   a   review   is   performed   to   explore   the   advantages   and disadvantages of different failure criteria for fibre reinforced composites. Widely-used  failure  criteria,  such  as  the  Maximum  stress  criterion,  Hashin  criterion, Puck’s  criterion,  LaRC03   and   Northwestern   University   (NU)   criteria   are reviewed  based  on  the  relevant  literature.  A  comparison  is  performed  of  these failure criteria, using the analytical results obtained from a MATLAB programme and  numerical  results  obtained  from  an  Abaqus  finite  element  model.  The applicability  and  reliability  of  these  failure  criteria  for  predicting  damage  in thermoplastic laminates, i.e. AS4 carbon fibre reinforced Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK),  are  evaluated  based  on  the  analytical  and  numerical  results.  Thenumerical  results  reveal  that  the  Maximum  Stress  criterion  provides  the  most conservative  prediction,  whilst  the  Hashin  and  Northwestern  University  (NU) criteria  give  reasonable  and  sensible  results  with  an  acceptable  running  time. Puck  and  LaRC03  criteria  deliver  more  accurate  predictions,  but  with  longer running times.
