Abstract
A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model for the deformation behaviour of a short fibre reinforced polymer is presented. This model applies to composites with strong fibre alignment. Stress distributions are calculated for quasi elastic and materially nonlinear behaviour. These lead to assumptions about the failure mechanisms in such composites which compare well with experimental observations of other authors.
