Abstract

The effect of axial residual stress on the properties of continuous fibre composites is calculated. It is emphasized that composite strength should be considered as a more complex phenomenon than usually done so by merely considering ultimate strength. It is shown that the information contained in σ(ε)-curves if plotted in a more suitable form as hysteresis and set versus total strain, taking into account residual stress, may be a useful means for characterizing the composite and for detecting deviations from perfect structure. Conclusions are derived as to how composite performance may be improved. The results are substantiated by metallic composite data.
