Abstrakt: This article deals with assessment of mechanical properties and possible technical usability of flax prepreg composite materials. Mechanical properties of materials are the decisive factor for selection of their suitable industrial application. The main step was to describe the process of acquiring basic mechanical properties of one layer. Then, these properties were used for creation of a numerical model of a primary laminate and subsequently for modeling a multilayered composite. The performed FEM model has been verified based on the experimentally tested samples in tensile and flexural loading.
