Abstract

The transverse behaviour of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are vital advantage in design, analysis and reliability. To avoid overestimating the strength, the transverse behaviour based on fiber orientation alone is being thoroughly studied by tensile test analysis. This paper is based on the transverse tensile approach to analyse and predict the tensile stress and fracture behaviour of unidirectional carbon fabrics. This test is performed experimentally on test specimens with 90 degree fiber unidirectional orientations. The experimental results are validated with previous studies, both of which are affected by the orientation of composite fibers. This experiment demonstrates that CFRP composite material for tensile loading which is mainly affected by the orientation condition of fiber. In this research work experiment, test workpiece with 90 degree orientation of fiber is showing maximum error of +3.03% compared to validate with research of reference. The study also highlights the potential of predict CFRP tensile properties to emphasize the need to improve process control and extended feature representation in achieving reliable and physics-consistent predictions.
