Composite structures are now increasingly used for their properties in all areas of industrial production where high specific strength is demanded. They gradually replace metal parts and components not only because they are lighter, but above all for their comparable and in many ways even better mechanical properties. Knowledge of behavior of simple synergies between the fibres and the matrix allows the prediction of behavior of complex components and their application in practice [1,2]. The subject of this article is a description of an experiment and numerical model that compares the mechanical properties of carbon fiber composite with the values obtained using analytical models as is Chamis model and HalpinTsai model. Carbon composite samples were studied in laboratory conditions through Barrier test (ie. Crash test).
