“…Many researchers have reported the advantages of employing fibre prestressing method on the mechanical performance of composite materials. 4,6,7,13,14,19,24,[67][68][69][70]77,[80][81][82]85,87,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106] The scheme shown in Figure 7 illustrates the positive effect of the compressive residual stress existence within the matrix. Applying fibre prestressing method can decrease the generation and propagation of cracks within the matrix by reducing the magnitude of existing tensile residual stresses.…”
