Abstract

The influence of a preliminary bending induced by misalignment of the grips of a testing machine on the stress-strain state of a flat specimen made of a high-strength unidirectional carbon fiber composite under uniaxial tension is estimated. An analysis of the analytical solution obtained is carried out, and the results of finite-element calculations and modeling experiments are presented.
