A New Interfacial Model for Transverse Mechanical Properties of Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Composites

Transverse mechanical properties play an important role in the study of fiber reinforced composite materials. An experimental and numerical study on mechanical properties and damage behavior of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites under transverse load is presented. The quasi-static tensile and compressive tests were carried out to obtain mechanical properties of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites under transverse tension and...
