Abstract:Compressive strength and failure mode of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are affected by the severity of fiber misalignment. In this paper, numerical models based on computational micromechanics are proposed to investigate the correlation between fiber misalignment and compression failure. A single‐fiber micromodel including fiber, matrix, and interface phases is first developed to capture the influence of misalignment severity on the material failure mode. The failure longitudinal stress dis… Show more
