O. Allix et al., MODELING AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE MECHANICAL-BEHAVIOR OF COMPOSITE LAMINATES IN COMPRESSION, Composites science and technology, 51(1), 1994, pp. 35-42
It is shown that mechanical compression behaviour in the fibre directi
on for laminated carbon/epoxy structure can be predicted with an elast
ic non-linear model. For that purpose, a specific bending test has bee
n developed. A model for any stacking sequence is proposed and verifie
d in several tension, compression and bending tests. Finally, a possib
le explanation using the model proposed by Lee and Harris is developed
.
