Abstract:
Models describing longitudinal compressive failure of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been attempted for decades. Despite many developments, no single model has surfaced to provide simultaneously a definitive explanation for the micromechanics of failure and validated predictions for a generic stress state. This chapter explores why, by presenting new experimental data (including scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations of loaded kink bands during propagation, and brittle shear fracture at 45 ° to the fibres) and proposing new micromechanics analytical ...
