Macromechanical Analysis of Lamina and Tsai-Hill Failure Theory Overview
The Tsai-Hill failure theory is based on the strengths of a unidirectional lamina, incorporating longitudinal and transverse tensile and compressive strengths, as well as in-plane shear strength. This theory, derived from the distortion energy theory, provides criteria for determining lamina failure based on specific interactions and strength parameters. The equations derived from the theory offer insights into predicting lamina failure under various loading conditions.

The failure theories are generally based on the normal and shear strengths of a unidirectional lamina. In the case of a unidirectional lamina, the five strength parameters are: ( )ult 1 T Longitudinal tensile strength ( )ult 1 C Longitudinal compressive strength ( )ult 2 T Transverse tensile strength ( )ult 2 C Transverse compressive strength ( )ult In-plane shear strength 12
Based on the distortion energy theory, Tsai and Hill proposed that a lamina has failed if: ( ) ( 2 ) ( ) 2 1 2 2 G 2 3 2 2 + + + + + G G G G G G G G 2 3 1 3 + 1 + 2 3 1 2 2 1 3 2 23 2 13 2 12 2 2 2 1 + < G G G 1 2 3 4 5 6 This theory is based on the interaction failure theory. The components G1thru G6of the strength criteria depend on the strengths of a unidirectional lamina.

Unlike the Maximum Strain and Maximum Stress Failure Theories, the Tsai-Hill failure theory considers the interaction among the three unidirectional lamina strength parameter. The Tsai-Hill Failure Theory does not distinguish between the compressive and tensile strengths in its equation. This can result in underestimation of the maximum loads that can be applied when compared to other failure theories. Tsai-Hill Failure Theory underestimates the failure stress because the transverse strength of a unidirectional lamina is generally much less than its transverse compressive strength.
