Thermal stress analysis of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites

Composite materials are widely used in temperature fluctuating environments, which make these materials highly prone to cracking. The cracking phenomenon is a result of high thermal stresses that are generated by the mismatch in properties of the composite constituents, particularly the mismatch in...
