Analysis of the Column Bending Test for Ultra-Thin Woven Fiber Composites: A Comparison of Numerical and Experimental Results

This work analyzes a 2019 Caltech CBT experiment using three methods. First, a closed-form geometric analysis is employed. Then, two corrections are incorporated into the simple geometric analysis, resulting in two additional methods. Finally, the results from all three methods are plotted alongside the results from a numerical analysis, four-point bending test, and platen folding test failure data.
