In the present work, a new developed strain based fiber kinking model for unidirectional laminated composites is explained. This model is implemented into a finite element code and the obtained results for glass/epoxy (Type C) ASNA 4197 unidirectional composites are presented and discussed. Experimental investigations on compressive strength and kink band formation are also performed for several specimens with various dimensions and off-axis angles made of the same glass/epoxy prepreg composite material. A special compressive fixture is also made in order to ensure that the specimens are in full contact with the loading machine elements and also to eliminate the potential bending moments. Comparison between the experimental and analytical results indicated that the proposed fiber kinking model and the developed code can be used to predict the compressive strength of laminated composites due to fiber kinking mode.
