The Effects of Eccentricities on the Fracture of Off-Axis Fiber Composites.

Abstract

Finite element analyses were performed to investigate theo- retically the effects of in-plane and out-of-plane eccentricities, bending or twisting, and thickness nonuniformity on the axial stress and strain variations across the width of off-axis specimens.
