Abstract:Abstract. This work presents an analytical model to predict the strength of the unidirectional carbon epoxy composite using micromechanical techniques. This model supposes that a group of broken fibres surrounded by a number of intact fibres with hexagonal arrangement. The mathematical developments used are presented to justify the distribution form of the stresses around broken fibre and adjacent intact fibres. To follow the evolution of the damage in regions of debonding and local plasticity; we proceeded to… Show more
