Unidirectional and crossply carbon/epoxy composites with uniform, graded and localized fiber waviness were studied. An analytical constitutive model was developed to determine the elastic properties as a function of fiber waviness. Compression tests were conducted to verify the constitutive relations. Experimental results were in good agreement with predictions based on the constitutive model UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1McWtBh2nkD40K_EZ6ffEtL84mPFBOe_Q/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
