Effect of Local Off-axis Fibers Array on Tensile Properties of CFRP Laminae

摘要

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are put to practical uses in the fields of sports, aeronautics and space, auto motive, transportation and architecture materials. It is reported that a local off-axis fibers array in the CFRP laminae occurs at the flections of structures, during the molding process and so on. Then, it causes the reduction of the material reliability. However, the quantitative influence on mechanical properties of the CFRP due to a local off-axis fibers array has been not clarified yet.
