Abstract
The quadratic failure criterion, which is intended to predict fracture, may be used as an object function for optimal stacking sequence design of laminated plate. However, calculations using a symmetric laminated plate demonstrate that Tsai-Wu theory may give incorrect optimum predictions under uniaxial loading.
