A computer graphics-based method for efficient generation of 3D micromodels of CFRPs and investigation of the effect of random fiber misalignment phase on fiber-direction compressive strength

Key Points

• Compressive strength decreases with increasing fiber misalignment phase, highlighting the impact on material properties.
• The investigation reveals that random fiber arrangement can substantially affect performance metrics in composite materials.
• Assessment includes computer graphics-based modeling techniques to generate realistic 3D micromodels of CFRPs.
• Implications for improved design strategies in composite materials hold promise for enhanced performance, though results are preliminary.
