Abstract
When a fibre-plastic composite in which the fibres are brittle, continuous, and unidirectional is subjected to longitudinal tension under essentially static loading conditions, there exists a range of possible composite strengths. This paper presents a model which may be used to predict that range of possible composite strengths. An important feature of the model is that it considers both static and dynamic stress concentration effects on intact fibres which result from a fibre failure. A computer simulation technique is used to generate a set of generalized scatter limits for the average fibre stress at composite failure from the model. The generalized scatter limits may be used to predict the range of strengths for a composite material. The model results are used to predict the ranges of strength for composite materials prepared from three types of carbon fibre and these are compared with experimental results.
