Numerical study for tensile strength prediction of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced composite considering fiber surface stress concentration

The accurate tensile strength prediction of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composites (UD composites) requires approximate determination of the stress concentration on surviving fibers around a fiber break point. Here the stress concentrated on the intact fiber surface was determined...
