An algorithm for determination of the fracture angle for the three-dimensional Puck matrix failure criterion for UD composites

A 3D matrix failure algorithm based upon Puck's failure theory has been developed. The problem of calculating the orientation of a potential fracture plane, which is necessary to assess the onset of matrix failure, has been addressed. Consequently, a fracture angle search algorithm is proposed....
