A micromechanics-based method for off-axis strength prediction of unidirectional laminae - Approach for a nonlinear rubber based lamina
In this study, a micromechanics-based method is developed to predict the off-axis strength of unidirectional linear elastic laminae. These composites fail by matrix cracking along a plane parallel to the fiber direction. The stresses in the matrix are calculated using a local stress analysis based o...
