... tensile and compressive stress–strain characteristics of any material by conducting a bending test, as long as a suitable material constitutive law can be assumed a priori. In this paper, a hyperbolic constitutive law was first validated against uniaxial test data and subsequently used to obtain uniaxial...

... are highly flexible, easily embeddable, highly compatible with composite structures and their manufacturing processes, which makes them ideal for composite health monitoring applications. In this study, in-plane tensile, tension–tension fatigue, short beam shear, and flexural tests are performed to evaluate...
