Abstract
An experimental study on the axial compressive failure of cylindrical unidirectional (UD) carbon fibre-epoxy rods has been performed to better understand kink bands and the relevant damage mechanisms in three dimensions (3D). Post-mortem X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging has shown that fibre kink bands predominantly all lie within the same plane in a cylindrical rod sample uniaxially compressed without lateral constraint. Kink...
