Abstract
The highest strain concentrations were found to occur when the ends of fibre bundles aligned in the direction of loading coincided with underlying transverse bundles. The failure plane was observed to grow between a number of strain concentrations at critical features, coalescing sites of damage to create the final fracture surface. Although potential failure sites can be detected at low global strains in the form of strain concentrations, the strain field observed at low applied loads cannot be extrapolated to reliably predict final failure.
