Abstract
A new criterion of strength is proposed for anisotropic materials of the glass-reinforced plastic type. This criterion takes into account not only the different ultimate strengths in tension and compression in each direction but also the dependence of the ultimate shear strengths on the sign (direction) of the shear stresses. The criterion is given in tensor invariant form, so that it can be rewritten for any direction of the glass fibers. The criteria proposed by other authors, in particular, R. Hill's condition of plasticity [1], follow from the new generalized criterion as special cases. The results of experiments conducted both by the authors of the present article and by other investigators provide good confirmation of the proposed criterion.
