Constitutive laws for unidirectional composite materials

Failure predictions for a fibre-reinforced composite with unidirectional (UD) plies can only be relied upon provided the stress state is accurately known. This requires a prediction of the constitutive response to be made when the material is loaded. When failure does occur, matrix cracking is frequ...
