Physically-based failure models and criteria for laminated fibre-reinforced composites with emphasis on fibre kinking: Part I: Development (2006, methodology): “the World Wide Failure Exercise (WWFE) [ 1 ].”
Failure Criteria for FRP Laminates (2005, neutral): “The results of the WWFE round-robin indicates that the predictions of most theories differ significantly from the experimental observations, even when analyzing simple laminates that have been studied extensively over the past 40 years [3].”
Drilling in carbon/epoxy composites: Experimental investigations and finite element implementation (2013, methodology): “The Hashin’s failure criterion has been used extensively in industry, although several studied demonstrated that it cannot accurately predict initiation of matrix compressive failure [13,38].”
Micromechanical analysis of polymer composites reinforced by unidirectional fibres: Part I – Constitutive modelling (2013, background): “(1998), and Liu and Tsai (1998) were considered the most recommendable criteria.”
Variable-stiffness composite panels: Buckling and first-ply failure improvements over straight-fibre laminates (2008, methodology): “The World Wide Failure Exercise (WWFE) was conceived and conducted by Hinton and Soden [24] in order to assess the predicting capability of the available failure criteria.”
