T700 Ud Carbon Fiber Fabric tensile properties of unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy composite Probably-one of the most popular advantages of fiber-reinforced polymer composites is the capability to tailor their mechanical properties and, therefore, their behavior to an externally applied load. Regarding the layup manufacturing process, fiber orientation plays a fundamental role in the tensile resistance of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy CFRE composites. Therefore, this work is aimed to realize a better understanding of the influence of fiber orientation on the tensile properties of CFRE composites. The study is conducted mathematically and experimentally on test samples with 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° fiber orientations. The maximum tensile stress values obtained from tensile tests are compared to the calculated ones through four basic failure models; maximum stress, maximum strain.…
