SURFACE PLY DAMAGE
1 INTRODUCTION
Surface ply damage is simulated by the removal of one ply. This could bethe first or last ply of the laminate depending on the configuration of thestructure. In this analysis, all the plies of a given laminate are assessed forthe impact of the loss of effectiveness of one ply.
Surface ply damage methodology is presented in Section 2, based on Tsai-Hill Failure Index. However, any failure criterion maybe applied. All theapplied and allowable stresses are given in the material (ply) axes system
(1,2) as presented in Figure 1. An element Failure Index in that of its criticalply Failure Index. An example showing how to use this PATRAN CommandLanguage (PCL) Function is presented in Section 3.

2 SURFACE PLY DAMAGE
Surface ply damage is simulated by the removal of one ply. This could bethe first or last ply of the laminate depending on the configuration of thestructure. In this analysis, all the plies of a given laminate are assessed forthe impact of the loss of effectiveness of one ply. Surface ply damageanalysis procedure is shown in Figure 2. A PCL function is used for thisanalysis, activated by running a session file with the appropriate input data.The next section deals with the ply applied stresses.
2.1 APPLIED STRESS
Element ply-by-ply applied stresses in the material (ply) axes system (1,2) see Figure 1 are extracted from PATRAN database. The applied ply stressesare given as follows:
=1
applied stress in direction 1
=2
applied stress in direction 2
=12
applied shear stress in plane 1,2
The allowable stresses are addressed next.
2.2 ALLOWABLE STRESS
At a given operating temperature, ply allowable stresses in the materialaxes system (1,2) see Figure 1 are used to calculate the surface plydamage Tsai-Hill Failure Index. The allowable stresses are given as follows:
S1_TENS = allowable tensile strength in direction 1
S1_COMP = allowable compressive strength in direction 1S2_TENS = allowable tensile strength in direction 2S2_COMP = allowable compressive strength in direction 2S12 = allowable shear strength in plane 1,2
The next section addresses the stress factor due to surface ply damage.

2.3 STRESS FACTOR
Surface ply damage Stress Factor (SF) is given by Eq. 1 as:
LA IDAMAGED
LADESIGNEDASSFFACTORSTRESS =)( Eq. 1
Where, the damaged laminate thickness corresponds to the removal of oneply. This could be the first or last ply of the laminate depending on theconfiguration of the structure. In this analysis, all the plies of the laminateare analysed for the impact of the loss of one ply. The next section dealswith the Tsai-Hill Failure Index.
2.4 TSAI-HILL FAILURE INDEX
The ply Tsai-Hill Failure Index for surface ply damage analysis is given bythe following equation, which accounts for the surface ply damage stressfactor:
