Abstract
The mechanical property of the thin-ply composite are improved, which has more uniform microstructure and fewer manufacturing defects compared with the standard ply composite. Based on the micromechanics theory, an RVE analysis method is proposed considering the interlaminar resin region in this paper. The influence of the interlaminar resin region on the RVE model of thin-ply composites is studied. The initiation and propagation of cracks are discussed in the thin-ply laminate under transverse tensile, and the in-situ transverse strength of 90° ply is predicted with different thicknesses. The results show that considering the interlaminar resin region has a great influence on the in-situ strength prediction results. Reducing the ply thickness can change the fracture mechanism and improve the transverse in-situ strength of the material.
