Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of fiber waviness on the behavior of carbon-epoxy composites. A theoretical elastic model is developed to predict lamina modulus of elasticity as a function of fiber waviness and is used in an incremental loading scheme to predict the general stress-strain response. This theoretical response is found to be nonlinear in the same fashion as the experimental, measured response.Keywords
