N2 - As inhomogeneous orthotropic materials, composite mechanical properties can be difficult to predict. Even with tight fabrication process controls, there is always some microstructural variation that will affect these properties. As a highly defect-dependent phenomena, mechanical strength is even more subject to variation, especially considering that composites exhibit multiple potential failure modes. The most direct way to determine composite material strength is via experimental testing, maintaining loading and specimen morphology as close as possible to the in situ states. When multiple materials and designs are being considered, this process is often prohibitively costly and slow. However, some approximations and rules of thumb can consistently guide the design process and consideration of alternatives.
