Mechanical Properties of Uncured Thermoset Tow Prepreg: Experiment and Finite Element Analysis

This paper presents an experimental analysis of the tensile behavior of unidirectional carbon/epoxy prepreg, focusing on the nonlinearity observed at the beginning of the stress–strain curve. Due to the material’s high viscosity, securely holding specimens during testing was challenging, prompting m...
