Investigation on failure behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer wire subjected to combined tension and bending

This study investigated the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wires subjected to combined tension and bending through transverse load tests and finite element analysis (FEA). The properties of the CFRP wires were examined through axial tensile and three-point bending tests. Transverse static load tests were conducted on CFRP wires under pretension ratios ranging from 0.00 to 0.85 to investigate the failure responses...
