following experimentally determined strength characteristics: F1t F1c F2t F2c F6 1140 620 39 128 89 Mpa MPa MPa MPa MPa
For 1 = -300 MPa and 2 = -20 Mpa, determine if the composite will fail. Solution: The figure below shows the maximum stress criteria envelope for this material and the state of stress.

Failure Envelope
State of Stress
Therefore, Failure is NOT Predicted Note: the plotted state of stress lies WITHIN the failure envelope, visually indicating that the design is safe under the given state stress.
