Summary
In this chapter the micromechanics of unidirectional fibre composites (see Section 5.1) are extended to laminates, where strain transfer occurs at a matrix crack other than at a fibre-break. The stress distribution under load is also discussed to describe the accumulation of damage under differing loading conditions.
