Fail Stress

Define the tensile and compressive stress limits of the material.

Note: This option is used only in conjunction with elastic material properties.

Input Data Description
Stress Fiber (T) Tensile stress limit in the fiber direction.
Stress Fiber (C) Compressive stress limit in the fiber direction.
Stress Transverse (T) Tensile stress limit in the transverse direction.
Stress Transverse (C) Compressive stress limit in the transverse direction.
Shear Strength Shear strength in the X-Y plane.
Cross Product Term Coefficient This value is ignored if σ biax is provided. The default is zero.
Equibiaxial Stress Limit Equibiaxial stress limit, σ biax , in units of force per area. If this entry is nonzero, the cross product term coefficient option is ignored.
Use temperature-dependent data Specifies material parameters that depend on temperature. A Temperature field appears in the data table. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
Number of field variables Specify material parameters that depend on field variables. Field columns appear in the data table for each field variable you add. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
