Abstract
Multiaxial/biaxial loading tests of fibre-reinforced polymer-matrix co mposite materials are reviewed, and results of these experimental inve stigations under both monotonic and cyclic loadings are discussed. It is noted that composite materials could exhibit complicated behaviour in the biaxial loading conditions which often exist in engineering pra ctice. The importance of biaxial loading tests of composites is indica ted by this assessment.
