Abstract
Contemporary applications of failure criteria frequently incorporate two-dimensional or simplified three-dimensional methodologies
for prediction of failure stresses. Motivation behind the development of a new multi-dimensional failure criterion is due mainly to the
lack of a sufficiently accurate mathematical tool that accounts for the behavior of brittle material with anisotropic properties. Such a
criterion should be able to provide a reliable maximum load estimate so that design of the structure is not penalized in terms of
excessive weight requirements. The failure criterion developed is represented by a fracture surface in a six-dimensional stress space.
The criterion is applied for failure prediction of SR-200 beryllium sheet structures, an inhomogeneous orthotropic material used
widely in space applications. Two experiments are presented to verify the validity of the criterion.
