Abstract

Composite materials can be tailored to meet specific needs such as high strength and stiffness combined with low weight [1], which are not achievable by metallic and other materials. Recent past decades have seen the accelerated use of composite materials in structural components due to cost reductions. The performance of a composite structure is, however, highly sensitive to the mechanical behaviour of the composite material. As the expectation of structural performance becomes more demanding, the need for reliable prediction of the mechanical behaviour of composite materials has become ever more important [2].
