- Composite structures in flexural loading are subject to both tension and compression, which is fundamentally different from uniaxial behaviour. This paper is significant because it systematically summarises the effects of unequal compressive/tensile moduli of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) composites in bending, whereas the traditional research methods based on assumption of uniaxial mechanical properties have either overestimated or underestimated the structural strength. The findings from this paper have been subsequently used for failure analysis of composites in both CFRP composites and hybrid composites in relevant loading conditions, e.g. impact, compression.
