The influence of flax fiber size effect on progressive damage models
Yuanyuan Xia, Suipeng Wang, Lin Mu, Yu Xia, C S Li, Xi Zhang
Abstract The strength of flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FFRP) composites is a critical factor influencing their reliability in structural applications. However, the prediction of FFRP strength remains challenging due to the nonlinear stress–strain relationship of flax fibers. To…
