On New Modifications of Some Strength Criteria for Anisotropic Materials

Abstract

The strength criterion is the strength condition for a small element of the construction’s material. Strength criterion is analytical interpretation in stress space the allowable boundaries of stress state, within these boundaries the material can work under these conditions without breaking. Since analytical interpretation of the experimental data may be performed in different ways, therefore many different strength criteria exist. Properly chosen strength criterion allows determining the moment when the material is destroyed while it is working under various tense conditions. Also it gives an opportunity to assess the limit state of stress in the most loaded points of the structure. This paper suggests new modifications of some well-known strength criteria which are more comfortable for practical use and can help to achieve more exact results.
