Quiz: Section 2.8 Strength Failure Theories of Angle Lamina

If the strength ratio is greater than one, what will the lamina be considered as?
   (A)   Failed
   (B)   Safe
   (C)   May fail

When is the failure in a material, according to the Tsai-Hill theory, assumed to occur?
   (A)   When the distortion energy is less than
           the failure distortion energy of the
           material
   (B)   When the distortion energy is half the
           failure distortion energy of the material
   (C)   When the distortion energy is greater
           than the failure distortion energy of the
           material

Which failure theories does the concept of strength ratio apply to (check all that apply)?
   (A)   Tsai-Wu failure theory
   (B)   Maximum strain failure theory
   (C)   Tsai-Hill failure theory
   (D)   Maximum stress failure theory

The maximum stress and maximum strain failure theories give same or different results for strength ratio. Which of the following is true (check all that apply).
   (A)   Different results for every case
   (B)   Same results if the major Poisson’s ratio
           is zero
   (C)   Same results if the mode of failure is in
           shear in both failure theories.
   (D)   Same results for every case

Which failure theory is based on the total strain energy failure theory of Beltrami?
   (A)   Tsai-Hill failure theory
   (B)   Maximum stress failure theory
   (C)   Tsai-Wu failure theory
   (D)   Maximum strain failure theory

To apply the Tsai-Hill failure theory, you need to use
   (A)   global stresses
   (B)   local strains
   (C)   local stresses
   (D)   global strains

The Tsai-Hill failure theory is a
   (A)   Separated theory
   (B)   Divided theory
   (C)   Unified theory

Strength ratio is defined as
   (A)   load which can be applied before failure
           divided by the longitudinal Young’s
           modulus.
   (B)   load which can be applied before failure.
   (C)   load which can be applied before failure
           divided by the load applied.

The Tsai-Wu failure theory gives a more accurate prediction of failure criterion because
   (A)   it accounts for all the stresses and
           strengths.
   (B)   it only uses tensile and shear strength
           properties
   (C)   it does not predict the mode of failure.
