On Micro-Buckling of Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Composites by Means of Computational Micromechanics

Abstract Micro-buckling of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites is investigated in this paper by means of an explicit representation of a geometrically imperfect fiber within the context of kinematical and material non-linear behavior. Two types of fiber imperfections are considered: a helicoi...
