Synchrotron radiation computed tomography for experimental validation of a tensile strength model for unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites

Synchrotron radiation computed tomography has been used to analyse fibre break accumulation in unidirectional composites loaded in tension. The data are compared to model predictions. The model only slightly overestimated the composite failure strain, but predictions of fibre break density were too...
