In this study, a new method for predicting the axial compressive strength of CFRP using the response surface method is developed. We focused on a microbuckling model to predict the compressive strength of unidirectional fiber composites. For the microbuckling model, axial shear properties are required. To obtain the compressive strength for various material properties, we perform individual shear tests and numerical simulations, but these require enormous computational costs and extended time. To address the issue of computational cost, in this study, we propose a new method to predict compressive strength using the response surface method. First, we perform shear simulation in a microscale fracture model for unidirectional CFRP with various parameters of the fiber and resin properties. Based on the results of the shear simulation, the response surface method is used to evaluate and develop prediction equations for the shear properties. This method allows for the study of the objective values of the parameters, without significant computational effort. By comparing both the results predicted from the response surface method (RSM) and the simulation results, we verify the reliability of the prediction equation. As a result, the coefficient of determination was higher than 94%, and the validity of the prediction method for the compressive strength of CFRP using the response surface method (RSM) developed in this study was confirmed. Additionally, we discuss the material properties that affect the compressive strength of composites comprised of fibers and resin. As a result, we rank the parameters as follows: fiber content, elastic modulus after resin yield, yield stress, and initial elastic modulus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17020478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,19]],"date-time":"2024-01-19T05:46:44Z","timestamp":1705643204000},"page":"478","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Enhanced Estimation of Axial Compressive Strength for CFRP Based on Microscale Numerical Simulation and the Response Surface Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Honoka","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science, Tokyo University of Science, 6-3-1, Niijuku Katsushika-ku, Tokyo 125-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3177-6368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huachao","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science, 6-3-1, Niijuku Katsushika-ku, Tokyo 125-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6754-2822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Koyanagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science, 6-3-1, Niijuku Katsushika-ku, Tokyo 125-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113923","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compstruct.2021.113923","article-title":"Design of adhesively bonded lap joints with laminated CFRP adherends: Review, challenges and new opportunities for aerospace structures","volume":"268","author":"Kupski","year":"2021","journal-title":"Compos.
