A failure criterion is proposed which allows describing the strength of unidirectional CFRP under tension-compression at an off-axis angle with strength applicable for practical use. An experimental verification was carried out which showed satisfactory agreement with the experimental results. The criterion makes it possible to determine the peak of the failure envelope in the compression area caused, on the one hand, by an increase in strength under in-plane shear due to transverse compressive stresses and, on the other hand, by a decrease in strength due to destruction of the matrix and the interface between unidirectional layer components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
