Abstract
Although fiber-reinforced composite materials have often been considered as periodic materials in theoretical models, the distribution of fibers is random in real materials. This random distribution of fibers is closely related to their transverse failure behavior. This paper proposes the use of statistical functions which describe random point patterns as a quantification of the dispersion of the transverse failure properties of several carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP). It is shown that the analysis of the K function is the most meaningful for this purpose.
