On the Off-Axis Strength Test for Anisotropic Materials1

Abstract
Difficulty in the experimental determination of the interaction com ponent of strength tensor of boron-epoxy composites by off axis tests is discussed. Although off axis data agree well with the prediction of the strength tensor theory, the uniaxial data cannot be used to back calculate the interaction term. The data also showed that responses due to normal and shear stresses can be uncoupled in the linear as well as nonlinear regions.
