Finite element investigations on the microstructure of fibre-reinforced composites

The effect of residual stress due to the curing process on damage evolution in unidirectional (UD) fibre-reinforced polymer-matrix composites under longitudinal and transverse loading has been investigated using a three-dimensional micromechanical representative volume element (RVE) model with a hex...
