The subject of this work is the micromechanical investigation of the influence of voids on the compressive failure behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP). Although, the effect of void content on the mechanical properties was investigated in previous literature, a local examination of the failure mechanisms is essential to understand how the presence of voids reduces the compressive strength...
